I love Nintendo’s Game and Watches.  To me these are my childhood, bottled-up in small,  Pocket-sized, rectangles of glorious gaming fun.  

My first ever one was Donkey Kong Jr when I was 7.   I initially struggled for a few days to get that little fella to open the cage until I accidentally pushed the up and left button at the same time.  After that it was game-on (bad pun) and it wasn’t much longer until I clocked the game (one of the most satisfying moments of my young life).

Now as an adult I still like to play them and have a small collection that I have purchased over the years. They are still available second hand but now cost a small fortune (see eBay).

Recently I came across these very cute replicas of 3 of the most popular G&W’s.  At first I thought they actually played and started to pull my credit card out my wallet until I looked closer and discovered that they are solar powered and only show some moving graphics. 

Still pretty damn cool though.

I did purchase one (Chef – one of the rarest G&W’s) and as soon as it arrived I knew I had to make a belt buckle out of it. 

So here’s my G&W Belt Buckle - Enjoy.

You have probably guessed by now that this isn't a hard ible'.   Matter of fact is damn simple!

Steps:
1. Use something sharp like a screwdriver and scratch the surface of the belt.  This will help the glue stick better.

2.  Add some strong glue and stick on the G&W.  Try and position it so it is level with the top of the buckle and straight.

3.  Leave to dry for 24 hours.

Done!

Go put your belt on, stand under a light and show the world that you won the coolest belt in the world.
