I really like all of them! =D
I never played the G&W series except for DK Jr. !

I downloaded the first three titles and I love Chef! Its a nice competition to beat the Highscore of a non gamer friend of mine =)
Judge isnt that great but kind of funny.
The Cement fabric thingy is kinda to slow for me.. Maybe I like it more when I play more often. Its really not bad =)

In like an hour the other three Games will be released here in europe and I'm kind of disappointed because I thought helmet would be great :> But I will buy them all! =D

I plan on collecting the Game & Watch Gallery games since I have G&W Gallery's 1 and 4. And considering I can get them for $2, $3, or $4 each, with multiple Game & Watch games on each, it seems a better deal. But for everyone else, get DK Jr. it's one of my favorites and one of the best.

I've made a decision to buy all the Game & Watch games because I grew up playing a lot of them. I had a cousin that wasn't that into games, so she would pick up Game & Watch LCD games and whenever I'd visit my aunt and uncle, they'd be available for me to play too. That doesn't mean that they're all worth getting though. I think Game & Watch games should be challenging, and so far, for DSiWare Game & Watch releases, I've found that...

Chef: Easy, but pretty cool for a juggling game. Worth getting.

Judge: Easy, kinda mindless, just make sure to hit your opponent if your number is equal or larger and evade when its smaller than the one they show, not really worth buying.

Mario's Cement Factory: Ultra hard. This one is not easy at all, it takes a bit of time of get used to not jumping off of platforms and gets hectic when a pot starts to overflow. Worth getting if you want a challenge, personally, it makes me want to rip my hair out at points.

Helmet: Super easy, you cannot die. Well, not literally, but this game is really easy and not worth buying in my opinion.

Manhole: This game starts off easy, but when it gets going, it makes you feel like you're going schitzo. Its a hard game and worth getting if you like a challenge.

Vermin: Ultra easy, again, its another one of those games where it feels like you can't die. I don't feel like its worth getting.

Just thought I'd share my opinions in case anyone else had trouble deciding. Hope this helps.

What is the meaning of life? That's so easy, the answer is TETRIS.

Out of curiousity, did anyone get Chef even though they have PT Cooking?

Flagman is made of pure love
<3

Game A is your classic follow the sequence and watch it become larger kind of game, which i like.

Game B is completely different, its more of a code breaker, the screen tells you a number and you must raise that flag before the timer runs out, which gets VERY fast in very little time, it makes you go "AW MAN!" or "ARG!" when you lose, which is awesome <3

it seems your score cant go over 99 though

..... I guess its no surprise that Donkey Kong Jr. is pure awesomeness!

For everyone that has Donkey Kong Jr.
Is their any other G &W game that you think is just as fun as this one?

Because I was thinking of trying another one or two but im not sure if I would like any of the other ones. From the impressions you guys have made im look at Mario Cement Factory and maybe Flagman. Any extra info would help.

@abgar: In both games, the max is 99?

the instructions say so, but i havent reached such scores yet.
In game A it must be nearly impossible because that means that you will end up with a 100 flags sequence (right after 99 flags, after 98 flags and so) o.o
in game B it is not so dramatic but it is still quite hard to do.

Yeah, sounds like the max for Judge. I actually didn't know (originally) that Game B was so different. It's because of that that I'm now thinking about getting it more than I was before.

I recommend it (flagman), it is worth all the 200 points i used from my flipper points (Thanks Hugo!) <3 i actually have it next to the DS cartridge in the menu.

Not if you write down the sequence.
I always thought Flagman to be complete trash. Vermin and Donkey Kong Jr. are by far the best games on offer.

I wonder why Fire isn't available, though. Besides Ball, it's probably the most iconic G&W game.

Let's hope they add more, hm?

But writing down the sequence for a memory game is cheating, deletes any traces of fun the game has to offer and is frankly very very pathetic and thus does not count.

its pretty much like using gameshark to get a rare, but not impossible to catch, pokemon in any pokemon game.

Totally agree. That just takes away from any memory game SO much. The whole idea is to test your mental skills, and see how long you can memorize the sequence.

Of course it's cheating. I just said it was possible.

Ok these is my opinion, game $ watch games are soooooo basic games, you will get bored soon, the graphics are total horrible and over all the game is too slow, you move it, 2 second later, the dude move himself, anyways for 2$ is not a good deal to buy one of these games, please never buy green house or dk!!!! If your anyways looking for a nice G & W game I recommend you or flagman (a tipe of simon) or judge (the best of them I can say) but if you already got the oregon trails, don't buy flagman, you can make infinite telegraph that is the same as flag-man/simon.

So Mr. Game & Watch games are games that you will be bored, not at 1 day, 1 hour, 1 minute, you will geth bored and the half of 1 play!!! Trust me.

Man's worst enemy is laziness.
