Game A is Simon, and game B is is a reflex-style game. Think Wild Gunman with multiple buttons, sorta. Fine little timewaster, but that's about it

Played here: https://itizso.itch.io/nintendo-flagman
Game A (Simon Says): I got to 23 numbers my brain is busting right now - I will give this mode credit as unlike Ball, the patterns in which you have to follow are actually randomly chosen this time, compared to Ball's predetermined pathing of the balls. There also isn't any weird point threshold like Ball where the game just kind of resets back to how it played when you first started, meaning this can be played pretty much infinitely without having that jarring change of pace that makes you feel like stopping playing.
Game B (Reaction Speed): GODDAMN IT GETS FAST TOO QUICKLY - For what's meant to be a time-wasting device, I find it humorous how quickly it becomes unbearably fast in mere seconds.

It's just Simon Says. That's it. He raises a flag, you copy that movement, and you keep going till you fuck it up. Not really worth playing, even if the main character has an appealing look to him.

Game #174

In a rare instance in these Game and Watches, A and B are actually two completely different games, making this Game and Watch machine a deal even if both games are basic.

A is Simon Says that gets pretty intense pretty quick

B is more of a reaction test made to see how quickly you can press buttons.

Neither game is anything particularly special in this environment but it's still cute and one of the better ones I've played.
