EPOCH Japanese LCD Games (Grandstand licenced alot of them) Chit Chat

[myPinballs]

A general chit chat about the wonderful era of lcd games. Specifically the Japanese manufacturer EPOCH and all the great games that we didnt have here in the uk. Grandstand did licence alot of them though and changed titles, case colours etc. but i keep seeing ones i never heard of over here

Also, I am probably getting addicted to importing japanese stuff to And when i was a boy going to Argos with my saved up pocket money, those shiny chrome boxes were like red to a bull for me hahah

So first up

'Mr Rich man' haha

My dad use to travel to Japan once a year and bring us back one. Depending on quality, they would usually last a year before breaking.
I need to find if we kept any but we had a foldable donkey kong and a three screen treasure island one.
EDIT:
You can kick me off as the DK was Nintendo.

You have started something here but none of mine were Epoch...
I need to track them down as I had Donky Kong II as well.

Yes i had the grandstand version of the epoch ones when i was a kid. the nintendo ones were too expensive, plus the chrome boxes were the thing!!!

I remember having this as a kid


Also one of these but can't remember which game it was

Sharing this nostalgia with my wife and she described a Russian LCD which turns out to be a Nintendo Egg. I just checked what a Nintendo would cost and it is over £1k…??

For anyone wanting a cheap quick fix you can get Astro Wars on the Android store

A couple of pictures of the collection I had. Still have a hand full but sold most of them a while ago. Very little of them remained in the uk. Some really significant games in there. Just wished I got pictures of the whole collection.
