Folks,

I'm trying to identify the manufacturer or any other relevant information about the handhelds located on this picture: http://i15.tinypic.com/4zvya11.jpg

More precisely, the two games located on the right side of the picture "under" Konami's turtles. Could somebody please let me know which brand they are? They don't look like Nintendos.

Thank you!
J.

Well, the one on the far right looks like a Men Star brand Space War:

Not much of a picture, but it sure looks the same.

I know I've seen the other one, but can't place it...

There are tons of these G&W knockoffs, and some of them were sold by 'generic' manufacturers, and many different companies slapped their logos on them... They could either be direct ripoffs of Nintendo games, or just random little LCD games designed to look similar to cash in on the familiarity of them...
