Judge (Game)

Judge is a Game & Watch game in the Silver series released on October 4, 1980. Two variants of this game were released- a green version, and a purple version.
==Gameplay==
Judge focuses around getting to 99 points before your opponent does. Like all Game & Watch titles, there are two games included on the cart. Game A is a single player game against the computer, while B is a two player variant of the game. A timer will appear before each round. When this timer stops, both players hold a random number and if this hammer is higher or equal to your opponent's number, you have to hit them with a hammer. If your number is lower than your opponents, you will need to dodge. A successful hit with the hammer is worth 3 points, while a successful dodge is worth 2 points. If you perform a incorrect action, your opponents gains points instead.
==Legacy==
Judge is referenced in Mr. Game & Watch's moveset through his side special, Judge. This move has Mr. Game & Watch hold up a random number and then strike with a hammer. The power of the move is based off the random number that Mr. Game & Watch holds up, with 1 being damaging to Mr. Game & Watch while 9 is one of the more powerful moves in the entire series.
===Remakes and Rereleases===
Judge was recreated for Game & Watch Gallery for Game Boy and for Game & Watch Gallery 3 for Game Boy Color. It was also recreated for a DSiWare game released on July 15th, 2009 in Japan, March 22nd 2010 for the United States, and March 26th, 2010 for Europe. It was later rereleased on Nintendo 3DS on July 7th, 2011 in Europe.

Vermin	Feeling lucky? Judge on the Game & Watch was THE game to play to test your luck back in the day! You and another player hold up a random number, and the player with the higher number gets to hit the opponent with a hammer. This game is represented in arguably Mr. Game & Watch's most iconic move, the side special. He holds up a random number, with each having different effects. The 9 is the most powerful, and could very easily turn the tide of battle! On the downside, 1 deals no knockback and actually damages you if you pull it. It's a gamble, really.	Feeling lucky?

==Glitches==
*The green variant for this game had a bug where one player would only earn one point for dodging successfully, while the other player would still gain two for dodging. This issue is not present in the purple version, which seems to have a different build of the game inside it.
