Default Hand held LCD games

Was in the attic and found this item. I'm not sure what era it's from, but it is unopened!!!. (See pics). Just wondered if it was collectable or not. Some of these hand held LCD games are exceptionally rare, I doubt that this one is, but you never know! Anyway, just thought I'd put up the pics for your enjoyment.

I wonder if its an official licensed product as street fighter is Sega.
It probably would be worth something to a collector, retro gaming has a big following right now.

That probably dates from the late 90's early 2000's not very saught after yet by the collectors as by that time most where unlicensed knockoffs coming out of China. The ones that are collectable are the Nintendo ones from the early/mid 80's I've seen some go for silly money on online auctions.

It's Made in China, so probably a knock off. But I have no Idea why it is still sealed or for that matter where it came from. None of the family or relatives know either. So this is a mystery find. It might be a one for collectors as a pristine example of a cheap knockoff... But that said I wouldn't know what to ask for it. I'm actually thinking of seeing just what the carriage costs would be and putting it up for auction on e-Bay for a lark. I know of one collector that collects Fake/copy/replica Watches., but only models he already has the originals of... Some of the newer Breitlings coming out of China are remarkably good quality and a really good practical, functional watches. Some of the early ones failed fairly quickly. I'll do a bit more research on this HAnd Held... You never know!

In any case, the CE label dates it to mid 1990s or later (introduction following a 1992 agreement).
