This video reminds that they now offer a Game & Watch bundle on the DS. It’s a safe bet that it costs a hell of a lot less than 6000 Yen.
ALTHOUGH, to be fair, 6000 Yen in 1982 was worth a hell of a lot less than 6000 Yen is worth today. Twenty-five years ago it was nearly 250 Yen to the dollar!

My dad used to make business trips to Japan quite often a bought both of these for me and my younger brother. I got Oil Panic and he got Donkey Kong. He bought us early versions, also. They only had a single screen. I remember something like Manhole was the title of one of them.
