Blackjack

Blackjack here was the only gambling Game & Watch Nintendo made and if you are a gambling fanatic, or just like playing 21(Blackjack) it's a great little title that should last you a long time. If you are not the gambling type, and not a collector pass on it. Personally I think Nintendo should have made a few more gambling games like Poker or something. Nintendo started on gambling over a 110 years ago with Hanafuda playing cards it would have made sense to me, and they still make gambling equipment today.

Bombsweeper
Release Date: June 1987

Click here to see the original complete package.

Here is one of the better Game & Watch titles in existance, and also one of the titles I own as well, which is Bombsweeper. In this split level game you play the role of John Solver, police bomb squad defuser who has to attempt to defuse the Mad Bomber Jack's bombs inside of the building. But, you must be careful because if you don't defuse the bomb in time, it will defuse YOU! Both game modes A and B are different just enough to make either worth playing over again. This game vaguely has an Adventure of Lolo feeling to it.

Donkey Kong

Here we have Donkey Kong, this along with Donkey Kong Jr. were my first two Game & Watch's, and I'd have to say Donkey Kong along with Super Mario Bros. (another I have) are my favorites of the bunch. Anyways, in this version of Donkey Kong the difficulty has been jacked up a bit. As you can see from the picture above it's split over to screens. On the bottom you just avoided barrels as usual, but also you could only jump where there were no girders above you(later there will be moving ones to kill you too). Above you had to avoid a parade of barrels while trying to flip on the crane. You then run over and jump at the right time to catch the hook to fly up and unlatch one of the triggers holding Donkey Kong above. This is one hard game, and gets even harder with the added things coming at you with more speed. I recommend this one above many others as something to maybe start a collection with, or to get if you don't have it yet. This game was featured as the big find inside of the Gameboy Color game Game & Watch Gallery 2.

Donkey Kong II
Release Date: March 7th, 1983

Here is the continuation of sorts from the first Donkey Kong handheld. In this quest you have to watch out for birds, clap traps, and other deadly stuff the journey to save Donkey Kong with the assistance of Donkey Kong Jr. from Mario. This game is based off the final section in Donkey Kong Jr. arcade as you have to move all the keys up the chains back to their starting point to open the cage and free Donkey Kong. If you loved that level in the arcade then you have to get this Game & Watch. This game was also featured as a hard to get secret game in Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Gameboy Color.

The first of the Game & Watch's with a continue feature, good thing too because you'll need it to tolerate it. The game isn't too fun as it's a basic watch for vanishing platform game where you collect keys and treasure. Some say it's superior to Super Mario Bros., BS it is not. You can't save in Super Mario Bros though, but it was a lot more fun jumping, attacking, and dogding things like hammers, fire and the rest. Pass on this and get Super Mario Bros. unless you are a big collector.

Greenhouse

A game along the lines of Donkey Kong III because you have to in this split level game shoot bugspray at approaching worms making a move on some vines toward your flowers, and once they're all gone so are you. Come to think of it this would be the perfect companion to Donkey Kong III G&W since DK3 did the bug levels better, and this one suits the level with the bugs on vines. This game was also a featured title on Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Gameboy Color.

Lifeboat

Quick the ship is on fire and going down. Use your two liferafts (one in Game B) to catch all the people bailing out, but beware because when you miss they are shark bait. This game feels somewhat like a combination between both Fire and Parachute.

Mario Bros.
Release Date: March 14th, 1983

Click here to see the original complete package.

A pretty simplistic fold out game in which Mario on the right passes stuff to Luigi on the left to load into their large truck on the top left part of the screen. The more stuff you load onto the truck the more points you get, you also get points for successful hand-offs on the various levels. Overall a pretty so-so game that might keep you busy for awhile. This interesting game was included on Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Gameboy Color.

Mickey & Donald
Release Date: November 12th, 1982

Click here to see the original complete package.

Loosely based on the old Disney cartoon in which Mickey, Donald, and Goofy fought fires. In this Game & Watch Mickey controls the water flow, and Donald covers the fire in water, while like in the cartoon Goofy does nothing. It's an ok game overall, but should be a blast for Disney fans.

Oil Panic
Release Date: May 28th, 1982

Quick the roof is leaking oil? Yup, and your job is to catch it in a pail on the top screen, then pour it out the window to your friend below with the pail who pops in and out of a window on the right or left side. If you slip up here you'll surely get greased (pun intended). This title was included as one of the standard games on the original Game & Watch Gallery for Super Gameboy.

Pinball
Release Date: December 5th, 1983

Click here for the box art.

An excellent fast paced lcd pinball game for your Nintendo Game & Watch. In Pinball Game A gives you are given just three balls to get as many points as you possibly can rack up. But in Game B you get one, it's sort of a kamakazi mode, but then an extra multi-ball(up to 3) becomes active for every 30,000 points. Very addictive!

Rainshower
Release Date: August 1983

A hard game that takes coordination and timing. In this game you must get all the wash in(yes clothes) before it starts to rain. Sounds simple? It's not because you'll have to dodge crows trying to stop your efforts.

Safebuster
Release Date: January 1988

As a cop it's your job to protect a safe from a mad bomber. Three bombs will get dropped, and you can hold three, so drop them in the one open areas after you have them. This causes torches to rise, and at the top they light all the bombs and blow up the mad bomber to give you points. This is a pretty interesting game that should keep you playing, and it reminds me of Mario's Bombs Away due to the use of explosives.

Squish
Release Date: April 1986

In this game versions A and B were quite different. In Game A it was a bit on the boring side as you just move walls around and try not to get squished. In Game B though is where the fun was because you had to move around like crazy trying to stop aliens from respawning.

Zelda
Release Date: August 1989

Click here to see the original complete package.

The second to the last of the Game & Watch series, and amazingly one of the best of them made. In this adventure you playing as Link have to collect the many pieces of the Triforce in an effort to thwart Gannon and save Princess Zelda (just like on the NES). In this game you will see many familiar items, but you will see some new things as well such as the tomahawk weapon. I've not heard this one in action but I am told that is highly addictive, has a decent challenge, and has a good musical score as well.

If you are willing to part with one of these, as long as the screen isn't scratched up, the buttons work, and the battery cover is still there please drop me and email. Please be realistic with the asking value as I know the unit is only worth $30-$40USD.
