Flagman
Flagman is one of the first Game & Watch systems, released on June 5, 1980[1]. Players have to press buttons that corresponds with the number shown to make the pirate either hold a flag of show his feet. The better you get at the game, the harder the game gets. If the player presses the wrong button at any time, they will lose a life.
Flagman was re-made in Game & Watch Gallery 3, as an unlockable game. It has the same rules.
Flagman DD of Wario Land II is also a remake of this game, hence the name. Instead of a pirate, a DD hosts it. The controls are different too, and two more buttons will be added progressively.
Lastly, Flagman became a microgame in WarioWare: Touched!, just like some other Game & Watch games. Players use the touch screen of the Nintendo DS to select the foot or flag.
