There are several emulators for them. They're called Game & Watch Gallery, Game & Watch Gallery 2, Game & Watch Gallery 3, Game & Watch Gallery 4, and Game & Watch Collection. There is also one called Game & Watch Collection: Manhole. The Game & Watch Gallery 1-4 can be found on GBC carts and the Game & Watch Collection is on a DS cart while the last one, Game & Watch Collection: Manhole can be found on an e-reader card.

Hope this helps!

The Game & Watch Gallery 1-4 can be found on GBC carts

Actually, only Game & Watch Gallery 1-3 can be found on GBC, the fourth one is a GBA game.

I was playing off the dictionary's definition of emulation and trying to be a smart ass. Oh, well...:roll:

I don't think there are any out there. I'd be interested though.

Technically it would be a simulator since there's no program code to emulate but thats beside the point.

Your probally best to go with the gameboy versions which have both the original game and an updated version with better graphics. The gameboy version of course can be emulated*

I had a link to a site that had information on lcg game simulaton projects but it seems to not be there anymore :(

Game & Watch Gallery was a release for the original Gameboy; GWG 2 & 3 are playable on the original Gameboy, only in black & white (or 'pea soup' green :)).

It's too bad that only the fourth one is compatible with the GB Micro. :(

Game and Watch Gallery 3 does play in color on a GBC or GBA. Don't know about the first two titles though.

Just got G&W Gallery 4, so I can now play it on my DS. :D

Several of the Game and Watch titles have PC simulation apps.

I've found Flash and Shockwave versions of Mario Bros. and DKJr. online before, and they run pretty well.

There's a few various games available for the iPhone/iPod Touch, too. And a few ports to various home computers. Someone did a port of a game to the VIC-20 recently!

There are TWO Game and Watch titles for the DS. Both of them are Club Nintendo titles. We just got the first one released over here, but it's an exclusive for our version of Club Nintendo too.
