the western bar was one of my favorite “game & watch” games when i was a kid. i miss the simplicity of those consoles which only had 3-4 buttons, unlike the ones today that are so complicated.. now i feel so old. lol!

I found it at one of the shops in Rochor area. Brings back my childhood memories…:)
It costs abt $9 for a bag.

  Thanks for sharing. It’s really rare these days and I’ve never seen it anywhere else except for the museum. They had it there at around the same price too. Love those colourful animals!

Think my sis and I played the kuti-kuti when young, but we used it as toy food with our cooking sets. Used it as Chips for our Roulette. Used it as “fishes” for our fishing game, Multi-purpose… hahaha!

  Yes! I saw them a few times at the Asian Civilisations Museum shop. About S$12 iirc. I was tempted to buy a pack myself! You may wanna try your luck there.
