Not just a watch. Not just a video game console. It’s both! That’s right, BOTH! Because when you combine the power of knowing what time it is with the power of Mario jumping down a tube…You become an unstoppable force. Or at least that’s what I imagine the promotional copy for the Nintendo Game Watch sounded like.

Dinky cars and, more importantly, the mats you used to play with them on. They looked like a city and had little roads and buildings on them and you could drive your cars from point A to B. I remember my friend had one and I would always go to his house to play dinky cars cause of a little peice of carpet. Win.

I sometimes still prefer pushing my Hot Wheels along cloth roads than driving for realz. That’s not weird…right?

Tony D: Hey Bobby H, did you just get a new watch?

Bobby H: I did. It’s a calculator watch.

Tony D: What’s that?

Bobby H: It’s a watch that’s also a calculator.

Tony D: A calculator and a watch in one? That’s awesome.

Bobby H: That’s right. It is awesome. Just give me a couple of numbers and I can add them together.

Tony D: Okay, 238 plus 459.

Bobby H: Alright, let… me… just… punch that… in—

Tony D: 697. Just figured it out in my head.

Bobby H: Oh. Well, I just — oh, there it is. 697. Anyway, give me some more numbers to add.

Tony D: 912 plus 56 plus 108.

Bobby H: Oh, three numbers. Okay. Well, let’s see…

Tony D: 1076. Damn. I’m pretty good at math.

Bobby H: Yeah, yeah. Whatever.

Tony D: What time is it?

Bobby H: What?

Tony D: What TIME is it?

Bobby H: Oh, I don’t know. This doesn’t tell time.

Tony D: Oh… are sure?

Bobby H: No. I just don’t know how to get to the clock feature.

Tony D: So it’s really a calculator that’s hard to use.

Bobby H: Basically.
