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 raindrops. When you press the MOVE button once, the washing line will move to one direction and the second time will move to the oppose direction.
