Greenhouse (originally spelled Green House) is a Game & Watch game released as a Multi Screen game on December 6, 1982.[1] It was remade for Game & Watch Gallery 3, with a Classic version and an updated "Modern" version.
Gameplay
Classic version
The player controls a bug exterminator only referred to as the "Fumigator" in the manual, and the objective is to spray worms and spiders that try to eat the flowers in a greenhouse. The worms crawl along vines on the top screen, while the spiders crawl along webs on the bottom screen, and the player will have to try to hit them with a spray before they reach the flowers (which would then die, giving the player a miss). The spiders are a little more difficult to defeat, as they are killed only when sprayed closest to a flower (they simply back away when sprayed farther away). The game is a two-level one with a ladder connecting the two parts (which otherwise offer almost identical action). The game is relatively easy to begin with but soon gets harder.
If the player gets 300 points without any misses, all points will be worth double until the player does get a miss. If the player has any misses at said score, all misses will be canceled instead. When the player gets three misses, they receive a Game Over.
Modern version
In the Modern version of the minigame, an Orange Yoshi has to protect its flowers by spraying Fly Guys and Grinders with Watermelon seeds (as it did in Yoshi's Island). To play, the player must use the to move and to shoot Watermelon seeds. Once the Yoshi grabs ten Watermelons, it will gain fire-spitting powers, allowing it to burn the ropes of the Grinders, scorching them even while they are shielded. The tulip that releases stars from Yoshi's Island releases the Fly Guys. If a Fly Guy or Grinder reaches a flower, the enemy will jump on it and kill it. At 200, 500, and 700 points, a Heart will appear for the Yoshi to remove a miss. Music is also featured, with the tempo changing depending on the speed of the game.
However, in this version, the score and miss marks alternate positions depending on the section the Yoshi is standing on.
Game & Watch Collection
In the Nintendo DS game for Club Nintendo members, Game & Watch Collection, there is an exact port of Greenhouse, alongside Donkey Kong and Oil Panic.
Trivia
