Game and Watch: Mario Bombs Away - Panorama

Mario's Bombs Away was released on November 13, 1983, with product number PB-94, as part of the Panorama series. The game was unusual because while playing, rather than looking directly at the screen, you played by watching a mirror in which the screen was reflected.It features an unlit color LCD screen that faces downward in order to expose the translucent rear to daylight or another external light source.

Gameplay
The player character is a military-clad Mario who delivers bombs from left to right, and must keep them away from flaming oil spills and enemy torches. Action is viewed in a mirror that reflects the screen. The game music was composed by Hirokazu Tanaka.  The game was in color. 




Rarity
Less than 250,000 games were manufactured, this model remains extremely rare. 

Estimated Value of Working Models (2014)
Boxed and Instructions: £70-£100
