Game and Watch Discussion

[The Fail Tracer]

I haven't seen any threads around here about Game and Watch games, so I decided to make one.

This is for discussion of the classic Game and Watch games, as well as the modernized Game and Watch Gallery games for the GameBoy. I.E., what is your favorite GW game? Least favorite? What are your greatest high scores? Do you prefer modern or classic?

Stuff like that.

To answer these questions of mine, I'd say Helmet is my favorite GW game, hands down. Least favorite would probably be Parachute, but that doesn't mean I don't like it. My greatest high score so far was made this morning, Vermin, classic, 2498 points. I usually prefer classic, but I also like the challenges that the modernized versions have to offer.

Other things, like ideas I haven't mentioned, may be discussed as well.

Not a big fan of the modern game and watch games (i.e. the ones that used Mario characters)

My favorite classic game and watch game would be Helmet. My least favorite is Chef.

I'm just wondering how were the game & watch games? Were they just minigames? sorry for asking a stupid question.

Not mini-games, just simple games that were Gunpei Yokoi's (And thus Nintendo's) first attempts at handheld gaming.

They were single games, each on their own handheld device, that used LCD screens, exactly like a calculator.

Actually, here, just read the wikipedia article on them, all the information checks out. (The article will explain it much better than I can)

Yes, Game and Watches were just mini games. I have a friend that had Game and Watch Gallery 4. I love playing the pie making game.
