Rain Shower Nintendo Game & Watch

This handheld game is one of the rarest Nintendo Game & Watch. Rain Shower is a very fast game and you will need a lot of coordination to play.
This multi screen game opens horizontally and you have to control the character in an open air laundry.
Rain Shower Nintendo Game & Watch was launched in August 1983 and sold less than 250,000 copies in the US and Europe which made this game one of the rarest Nintendo Game & Watches.

Your mission here is to keep all clothes dry and avoid the rain to hit the clothes.
The game has two controls - the cross control to guide the character throughout the game scenario (the screens and the two story). You have to be fast to move all four washing lines to avoid the rain drops.

After every 100 points the clouds disappear and the rain stops falling. This gives you a little rest. Be ready though, the clouds are coming back!!!!

Points:
1 Point when the raindrop passes the washing line without striking the laundry. 10 extra points are given every 100 point interval.

Misses:
A miss is scored when a raindrop hits the laundry. With 3 misses (shown by 3 wet shirts in the upper right corner of the right screen), the game is over.

Other notices:
If you hold in Game A or Game B key the highest previous score will be displayed. If the unit is left as it is after game is over, time display will appear in about five minutes. A game is not interrupted even if TIME key or other game keys are depressed during game playing. Pressing ACL switch or removing batteries erases high score from memory.
