Tiger Electronics Capcom Street Fighter ll Game Watch

Gameinhand

Hi All,

Recently acquired a Tiger Electronics Capcom Street Fighter ll Game Watch from 1993. Never knew this existed and have no idea of its rarity. That's what I am trying to find out. If anyone can share any information on this game watch, I would appreciate it. I have scoured the net and could not find a single reference to it. Thanks for your help. Rich

this is indeed a rare find. What did you pay for it?

Gameinhand

Purchased Street Fighter 2 along with 4 other handheld games for $75. Paid then $15 for each including Street Fighter 2 which I think was a steal of a price. Just picked up a 2nd one for $25. But this one is missing the metal piece that holds the watch on your wrist. But still works perfectly.

Hi.
Nice watch. I don't have one of those yet.
It's a neat watch to add to the collection but not one I think I would ever wear.

Yes... I gotta wear some from time to time.

How's the game play, sound?

Hi John, I leave the game in the demo mode all of the time and check it from time to time to make sure it is still working. Very basic sounds and basically kicks and punches. Not super exciting game play but then again its cool for its size. Keeping them more as collectibles than wearables but do play them from time to time. The LCD display is nice though, especially for such a small screen. Rich

That's cool.
Me too for most if they have it (demo mode)
I keep mine in a plastic ziplock with one of those silicon moisture absorbing packets. Get's pretty humid here sometimes.

I've even found if they die, for some crazy unknown reason, they might even come back to life if put in one. Yes, weird I know but I've had it happen a few times and they seem to stay alive if bagged!

Winter has been a mess, not much snow just endless rain!

I've always wanted to get one (or more if needed) of those felt-covered 'arms' they use in jewelry stores, etc for displaying watches... I keep trying to find easy ways to display them, and some of them just don't lay flat with the plastic watch bands... Cool

Hi.
For the non-boxed watches I buy these:

They're cheap and work pretty good.

Thanks for the link to the watch holders on eBay John. Definitely going to purchase them. Rich

Ooo, yeah, that would work well too... Not sure why I never though of using something like that... I guess I never thought you could just buy them. Cool

Thanks for that.

Might get something like this for display at conventions:

That way they are loose and touchable... Cool
