Once upon a time, back in the early Eighties, kids with dodgy hair and skintight jeans strutted around with 'Game & Watch' consoles in their pockets. These consisted of a handheld machine usually featuring one - that's right, just one - game. Fortunately for us, we get a little bit more choice these days when it comes to our portable gaming, but the classic titles that made up the Game & Watch collection still have tonnes of appeal for modern gamers.

This top-value package, the third in the series, consists of five Game & Watch Watch titles - Egg, Green House, Turtle Bridge, Mario Bros and Donkey Kong Jr. It offers you the opportunity to play in Classic mode, which is all retro, with very basic graphics and blippy sounds, or Modern mode, which contains updated version of the games with modern features and plenty of extra gameplay.

Whilst the classic versions hold a certain novelty value in an old-school kind of way, the chances are it'll be the Modern mode that keeps you entertained in the long-term. From the panic-filled challenge of Egg to the cute platform action of Donkey Kong Jr, you'll find something here to tickle your fancy and these little retro gems are so addictive, you're guaranteed to keep coming back for more!
