About this game

Judge is a Game & Watch arcade game released on October 4, 1980. Players react to numbered placards shown after counting and time signals.

When the player's number is higher, they must attack with a hammer; when it is lower, they must dodge. Successful hits award three points, while successful dodges award two. Mistakes can give the opponent additional points, and the first character to reach 99 points wins.

Game B includes a two-player mode. The game was developed by Nintendo EAD and published by Nintendo.
