'''''Flagman''''' (originally spelled '''''Flag Man''''' in North America) is one of the first [[Game & Watch]] systems, released as a part of the Silver series on June 5, 1980.<ref>[http://www.intheattic.co.uk/flagman.htm ''Flagman'' info page on In The Attic, a website dedicated to classic videogames] Retrieved 13 November 2010</ref> It is one of the games in the [[Museum|Gallery Corner]] in the original ''[[Game & Watch Gallery]]''. It was later remade for ''[[Game & Watch Gallery 3]]'', as an unlockable game.

==Gameplay==

The player has to press buttons that correspond with the number shown to make the flagman either hold a flag or show his feet. The better the player gets at the game, the harder the game gets. If the player presses the wrong button at any time or does not press a button within the time limit, that player will lose a life. When the player loses three lives, they receive a [[Game Over]].

In Game A, the player has to follow the flag order that is given to them. In Game B, the player has to raise the flag that matches the number shown, but the time to do so shortens as the player progresses.

==Appearances in other games==

[[Flagman D.D.]] of ''[[Wario Land II]]'' is also a remake of ''Flagman'', hence the name. Instead of a flagman, a [[D.D.]] hosts it. The controls are different too, and two more buttons will be added progressively.

Lastly, a [[Game & Watch Flagman|microgame]] based on ''Flagman'' appears in ''[[WarioWare: Touched!]]'', just like some other Game & Watch games. Players use the {{button|ds|Stylus}} to select the foot or flag.
