Game & Watch Gallery 3

"Game & Watch Gallery again! Nintendo made a VERY smart move!"

In 1997, there was ''Game & Watch Gallery''. In 1998, there was ''Game & Watch Gallery 2''. Now it's 1999, and the games have returned for ''Game & Watch Gallery 3''!

''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' hosts five unbelievable games:

Egg-- Mr. Wolf is hungry. He wants a few eggs, and that's no YOKE! (I CRACK myself up!) Help Mr. Wolf get some eggs from the chickens, and don't drop them! (Don't drop the eggs, that is. Do what you want with the chickens, I don't care...)

Green House-- Bugs and spiders are heading for your prize-winning flowers! Save your precious plants and introduce those bugs to your friend, Mr. Bug-B-Gone!

Turtle Bridge-- The campers forgot their supplies, and (unfortunately) they're sending you to get them. Get the supplies to the campers by hopping across the backs of turtles all the way to the other side. Just watch out when those turtles duck under!

Mario Bros.-- Mario and Luigi are working in a factory (Whatever happened to make them retire from the plumbing business?), and they've got to keep the assembly line moving. Help the brothers to cooperate and get those packages to the truck. And remember--the boss is watching!

Donkey Kong Jr.-- Donkey Kong has been captured by Mario, and Junior wants his papa back! help Donkey Kong Jr. get the key to set free Donkey Kong, and watch out for the enemies that Mario has released upon you!

Once again, the ''Stars'' system is here. Get a ''Star'' for every 200 points you get, and use those ''Stars'' to unlock a gallery corner, extra playable games, and other secrets!

Also once again, Mario and Co. are here. They'll be appearing in special modernized versions of the games, giving you more ways to play these great classics.

A music gallery in the gallery corner plays the great tunes you hear in the modern versions of the games.

Now you can link ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' to ''Game & Watch Gallery'' and ''Game & Watch Gallery 2'' to add the games from those museums to the one in ''Game & Watch Gallery 3''.

You can also use the link cable to play one of the unlockable games head-to-head with a friend. (Just make sure they have a copy of ''Game & Watch Gallery 3'' as well.)

Well, there you have it. A brief summary of the third installment in the ''Game & Watch Gallery'' series. If you are an avid Game Boy fan, or just someone who enjoys a blast from the past every now and then, get this game.
