context_page_description: The Game & Watch brand is a series of handheld electronic games developed, manufactured, released and marketed by Nintendo from 1980 to 1991. Created by game designer Gunpei Yokoi, each Game & Watch features a single game to be played on a LCD screen as well as a clock, hence the name. The models from 1981 onwards featured an alarm in addition. It was the earliest Nintendo video game product to gain major success.
  The units are based on a 4-bit CPU from the Sharp SM5xx family, that include a small ROM and RAM area and an LCD screen driver circuit, although prior to the emulation in MAME there was a misconception in that every unit used a custom ASIC instead of a proper microcontroller.
  The series sold a combined of 43.4 million units worldwide.
