It's a Watch... and a Video Game!


Ah, the wonders of technology, circa 1982. Another treasure that I didn't have because I couldn't afford it. Oh, Starlog, why did you tease me so?

Thanks to Marty McKee for reminding me....

  3. Had the watch been a big enough success, maybe there could've been a digital watch based on Trek II director Nick Meyer's The Day After! Just imagine, a digital watch which shows how many seconds you have until you get flash-vaporized!

  4. I had one of those. Unfortunately I took the back off one day to look inside at the circuitry and lost a spring that stopped the sound working (sound = beeps) :(
