'''''Ball''''' (originally released as ''Toss-Up'' in North America) was released in the ''Silver'' series on April 28, 1980. It is the first ''Game & Watch'' game and is a single-screen single-player game.

In Game A, the player tosses two balls in the air. As the balls fall, the player must catch and toss them up again. One point is earned for each successful catch. A dropped ball will display a broken ball and end the game. The object is to continuously catch the balls that fall and throw them back up, as in [[juggling]].

'''''Mickey Mouse''''' was released in the ''Wide Screen'' series on October 9, 1981, and in the ''Panorama'' series on February 28, 1984. It is a single-screen single-player game and the first Game & Watch to feature a Disney character. There are two different versions:

In the ''Wide Screen'' version, the player controls [[Mickey Mouse]] whose task is to catch eggs as they roll down four slopes, two on either side of the screen. If an egg is dropped, it lands on the floor and is registered as a miss. The eggs roll faster as the total caught count increases, but temporarily slow down upon reaching multiples of 100. The misses are reset at 200 and 500 caught eggs. Missing three eggs between resets will end the game. Periodically, [[Minnie Mouse]] peers out of the window; if Mickey misses an egg while Minnie is present onscreen, the miss counts as half and the egg releases a chick who walks away off screen. This half-miss is displayed as a blinking miss symbol. In Game A eggs roll from three of four slopes, the inactive slope depends on the current miss count. In Game B eggs roll from all four slopes, the number and rate of descent of eggs is higher than in Game A. The gameplay is similar to ''Egg'' which was only released outside of Japan, while ''Mickey Mouse'' was released in Japan and a few European countries.

The ''Panorama'' version is completely different, where the player controls Mickey Mouse, who is performing acrobatics in a circus. The player must move Mickey left and right to catch batons, whilst avoiding flaming torches. The speed the objects fall increases upon the total score closing in on multiples of 100. If the player misses a baton or touches a flaming torch, a life is lost. After three lives are lost, the game ends. Once the player reaches 300 points, all misses are cancelled. If the player has no misses, they will receive double points until the next miss. The gameplay is similar to ''Donkey Kong Circus''.

=== ''Egg'' ===
[[File:Nintendo Game And Watch - Egg.jpg|150px|thumb|''Egg'']]
'''''Egg''''' was released in the ''Wide Screen'' series on October 14, 1981.<ref name="Egg Copyright">{{cite web |title=Egg. (Registration Number PA0000196854) |url=https://cocatalog.loc.gov |website=[[United States Copyright Office]] |access-date= 5 June 2021}}</ref> It is a single-screen single-player game.

The player character is a wolf who waits outside a hen house. The wolf must catch the eggs that fall out of the side of the hen house, for one point each. Three lives are given. A life is lost for each egg missed, or half of a life if the egg is missed while a hen appears. The game ends when all three lives are lost. The gameplay is the same as ''Mickey Mouse'' in the ''Wide Screen'' series.

''Egg'' was recreated in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' for Game Boy Color.

=== ''Turtle Bridge'' ===
[[File:171021 NintnedoGame&Watch TrutlBridge.jpg|150px|thumb|''Turtle Bridge'']]
'''''Turtle Bridge''''' was released in the ''Wide Screen'' series on February 1, 1982.<ref name="Turtle Bridge Copyright">{{cite web |title=Turtle bridge. (Registration Number PA0000136949) |url=https://cocatalog.loc.gov |website=[[United States Copyright Office]] |access-date= 5 June 2021}}</ref> It is a single-screen single-player game.

The player uses a line of five [[turtle]]s as stepping stones to transfer baggage from one side of a river to the other. Once a package is tossed to a colleague on the other side, the player can return to the home bank to fetch the next package. The turtles are not motionless but will dive to feed on any fish within reach, and they dive more frequently as the game progresses. The player may need to wait for the colleague on the far bank and cannot return to the home bank while carrying a package. Two to twelve points are awarded, depending on how quickly the package is delivered. It takes approximately 1 hour of gameplay to accrue 1000 points. Unlike other similar games, the scoreboard can display scores past 1000. Lives are lost if the explorer lands on a turtle that dives. A life can be recovered at the score levels 200 and 500. The game ends when all lives are lost.

In Game A, the middle turtle of the five has no fish swimming in reach and never dives unless the explorer waits too long on its back, at which point fish appear and the turtle dives. In Game B, all turtles will dive from the outset, and the colleague appears less frequently.

In both Game A and Game B if the player reaches 200 and 500 points without any lives lost, there will be a period of 20 and 30 seconds respectively when no new fish appear under the turtles. The same goes for 1200, 1500, 2200 points etc.

''Turtle Bridge'' was recreated in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' for Game Boy Color.

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Mr. Game & Watch back air has him hit opponents with a turtle, referencing ''Turtle Bridge''.

=== ''Fire Attack'' ===
[[File:Fire Attack - Game&Watch - Nintendo (pixelized screen backdrop).jpg|150px|thumb|''Fire Attack'']]
'''''Fire Attack''''' was released in the ''Wide Screen'' series on March 26, 1982.<ref name="Fire Attack Copyright">{{cite web |title=Game & watch--Fire attack. (Registration Number PA0000156162) |url=https://cocatalog.loc.gov |website=[[United States Copyright Office]] |access-date= 6 June 2021}}</ref> It is a single-screen single-player game.

The main character uses a tomahawk-type weapon to protect a fort from burning. The top row of enemies are [[Native Americans in the United States|tribal]] [[Tribal chief|chiefs]] who throw firesticks, and the bottom row of enemies are traditional ''Game & Watch'' characters who try to set fire to the fort with a match. Two points are earned for each fire blocked. Three misses are allowed, which occur each time the fort catches fire. All misses are erased at 200 points and again at 500; if there are not any misses at these times, 5 points are awarded per hit for a period of time.

''Fire Attack'' was recreated in ''Game & Watch Gallery 4'' for Game Boy Advance, although, the Game Boy Advance version of the "Legacy Mode" was censored, due to "outdated stereotypes", being turned into generic "Bandits".

In the ''Super Smash Bros.'' series, Mr. Game & Watch has an attack which has him hit opponents with a fire stick, referencing ''Fire Attack''. In ''Ultimate'', Mr. Game & Watch's animations were updated to reflect individual frames from the original games, including gaining a feathered headband when using the move based on Fire Attack. The controversy following this discovery prompted Nintendo to apologize for the potentially offensive stereotype and announce that the animation would be changed in a post-release patch.

The object of the game is to move boxes of bottles through the machine without dropping any. Each brother can climb a ladder to one of three positions. Mario receives a box at the bottom right, and must be in his lowest position to move it into the bottling machine. The box moves left through the machine, to Luigi, who must be in his lowest position to move it to the next level, which moves it to the right, to Mario's middle position, who raises it to the next level. The box moves to Luigi's middle position, then to Mario's highest position, and finally to Luigi's highest position, where Luigi throws the box onto a truck.

=== ''Tetris Jr.'' ===
'''''Tetris Jr.''''' is a prototype in the ''Multi Screen'' series that was never released to the public. There is only one known copy in existence, making it the rarest of all Game & Watches. Like regular ''[[Tetris]]'', the object of the ''Tetris Jr.'' is to score as many points as possible by forming complete rows from falling blocks of various shapes, but instead of positioning the falling block by moving it left or right, the players move the entire playing field instead. There are two game modes available.

In game A, a clown on the top screen throws randomly selected blocks of various shapes down a chute toward the bottom screen. The Rotate Button turns blocks 90° as they falls. The down direction the [[D-pad]] increase the speed of the falling block. The left and right directions on the D-pad moves the entire playing field.

When a row is completely filled, it is removed and points are awarded based on how many rows are cleared in one turn: 1 row – 7 points, 2 rows – 25 points, 3 rows – 100 points, and 4 rows – 400 points.

If the playing field fills up with enough blocks so that a falling block can not move beyond the narrow chute, the playing field can then no longer be moved left or right and the chute will fill with blocks until it reaches the top when a miss is scored. When three misses are scored, the game is over.

In Game B, the players have 3 rounds of 60 seconds each to try and score as many points as possible by forming complete rows. Every time they clear a row, points are awarded (similar to Game A) and in addition, a few more seconds are added back on the clock extending the time they have in the round. When the timer reaches 0, however, a miss is scored. The game ends after the third miss.

''Tetris Jr.'' was recreated unofficially on itizso.itch.io<ref>{{cite web |date=January 6, 2025 |title=A simulation of Tetris Jr. |url=https://itizso.itch.io/nintendo-tetris-junior |access-date=January 6, 2025 |website=RetroFab}}</ref> and can be played with a controller, mouse, keyboard, or touchscreen.
