　　Description

　　Ball was the first ever handheld game released by Nintendo and served as the basis for all other Game & Watch™ titles that would follow. The game's greatest charm was it's simplicity as the graphical details of Ball were still very simple, with no background graphics and only simple sounds.

　　Gameplay

　　In ball you're a juggler who must keep balls in the air by not dropping them. By pressing the LEFT and RIGHT buttons you control the characters arms. Be sure to position the arms under the lowest ball to avoid it from crashing to the floor. And unlike in most other Game & Watch™ titles, you get only one chance before it's game over!

　　In Game A you have to juggle 2 balls, scoring one point for every ball you're able to toss upwards. In Game B you'll have to keep your eye one 3 balls at once, but will be awarded 10 points for every ball juggled.
