Never played this one much and I'm glad I didn't as it shames Donkey Kong. In this humiliating game you control Donkey Kong on a barrel rolling along while juggling pineappels while dodging flames. One word for you: Lame.

Donkey Kong Jr.
Release Date: July 10th, 1983

In this panorama game with its nicely lit up screen the idea of the game was a modified version of the arcade original. Your mission, save your daddy Donkey Kong from Mario. The feel of the game from the things you can see and do is based off the first area in the arcade.

Mario Bomb's Away
Release Date: November 10th, 1983


Click here for the box art.

In this Mario adventure our favorite plumber has decided to enter into some war games with high explosives. Your goal in the title is simply to get what is needed across the screen while at the same time trying not to be blown up from the cigars dropped above. A pretty good game that will keep you coming back for awhile.

Centered around everyones favorite mouse for over 50 years you get to play as Mickey in this game. The goal to this game is to move Mickey who is balanced on top of a ball left and right. The idea of moving here and there is to keep barbells in the air by catching them and also avoid some flaming sticks that come into play as well. The concept of the game seems to bleed between Donkey Kong Circus and Ball.

In this game Olive Oyl is trapped up on a platform all tied up. Your goal as Popeye the Sailorman is to save her. To save Olive Oyl you will have to duke it out with Brutus by knocking him into the water three times. Once he is in the drink for the third time Olive will kick a can of Spinach to you to finish the job so you can save her.

Snoopy
Release Date: August 30th, 1983

In this panorama game Charlie Brown plays his piano at the bottom of the screen sending musical notes upwards. Snoopy is supposed to leap between four platforms hitting the notes with a hammer. If the note reaches the top of the screen it wakes one of the birds and you lose a life. A decent Game & Watch but surely not the best.
