I know we're stretched a little thin on platforms, but I think that documenting Game&Watch games would be a good idea. They were all made by Nintendo, (Not all of them were developed by them though.) and they all have more or less standard hardware. You can find all the different types here. One could argue that if we were to start documenting Game&Watch's, that we should document the other LCD games out there. I think we should, but not all at once. I think we should document G&W's first, because there's lot's of info on them out there, and they're a specific brand of LCD games. Mabey after a while we could move on to Tiger Electronic LCD games. I know there are dozens and doezens of non-series LCD games, but I haven't the slightest clue how to begin to cover those. But I think Game&Watch's are a good place to start.

I agree that we should someday cover these.

I don't, however, believe that such a day will arrive for a long, long time.

I reckon that there should be dedicated consoles as a platform, that way all the systems could be added at once, game and watch and others. Arcade should be excluded from this group though as that is a completely different cattle of fish.

If so, then don't forget the Soviet clones :D

I would just add that emulator as a windows game.

Being old enough to be born behind the "Iron Courtain" what more can I say? I had one, too - the "space bridge".
