Looking for help for repairing this Zelda Minis Classic. The top screen is getting some connection from the main device but it seems quite finicky. Is this an easy fix. Or should I just consider this a shelf piece?
Hi, bought Game&Watch Chef some time ago and noticed that sprites are getting brighter/blink (very fast, almost unnoticeable) when the sound is played. Batteries are ok - they work fine in another G&W I own. I suspect capacitors as the game was produced long time ago. Opened the shell - don’t see leaking capacitors.
Any ideas how to fix?
Thanks!
The new version of LCD.emu is out. Now you can provide feedback straight from the app. Enjoy.
This is the last of my Zelda’s left.

Hi everyone!
I am selling my childhood Game & Watch Zelda (ZL-65) from 1989. I am the original owner. It is complete in box (CIB) and in fully functional condition.
The auction is currently live on the Swedish auction site Tradera (fully secure escrow payment via Tradera/PayPal system). I ship worldwide and will pack it very securely.
Link to the auction:
I was looking through some of my fathers old stuff and found this game he brought home from when he was studying high school in US 86/87. Seems to be untouched. Is this worth anything or can I give it to my nephew?
Welcome back with another entry into the Bandai rival series of LCD "game & watches".
This particular unit I found at a smash bros tournament of all things and scooped it up. It says Tandy (Radio Shack) but it actually is a Bandai unit called "Bank Gang".
Much like the early silver series G&Ws, Bandai units were brought over, renamed, and sold under different branding and distribution.
This one was renamed "Hold Up" and is from 1982. It didn't last long because the idea of playing as violent bank robbers raised some eyebrows with American consumers.
I recently added this Tronica SB-313 Air-Sea War to my collection, and I think it's one of the coolest generic LCD handhelds I've come across.
The gameplay is exactly what you'd expect from the era—simple, fast, and addictive—but the real star is the presentation. Bright yellow shell, military artwork with tanks, helicopters, submarines, and jets... it's peak late-'80s/early-'90s design.
These handhelds always remind me that there was a whole world of electronic games beyond Nintendo's Game & Watch. Companies like Tronica produced dozens of models with unique themes, and many of them are surprisingly well made despite being relatively obscure.
What I enjoy most is that every model has its own personality. You can instantly tell what kind of game it is just by looking at the artwork.
Is anyone else here collecting Tronica LCD games or other non-Nintendo handhelds? I'd love to see more Air-Sea War variants or hear about similar finds.TRONICA
