On This Day in Nintendo History: Manhole; James Bond 007; Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3; Pokémon FireRed; Pokémon LeafGreen

On this day (January 29) in Nintendo history...

  • Manhole was released in 1981 for the Game & Watch Gold in Japan. In this action game, developed by Nintendo R&D1, there are four open manholes in the road, but only one manhole cover. Stop the pedestrians from falling into the sewers by moving the manhole cover around. Using the four buttons, you must move the manhole cover to the four open manholes to catch all of the pedestrians. You score one point for every pedestrian you save. If three pedestrians fall into the sewer then the game ends.

  • James Bond 007 was released in 1998 for the Game Boy in PAL territories. In this action-adventure game, developed by Saffire Corporation, an arms smuggling ring is threatening to create a new world order of crime and Agent 008 has gone missing while investigating in Turkey. It's up to Agent 007, James Bond, to uncover who is behind the plot, and to find 008. You start in China with a basic punch and block attack, but as you travel you will pick up other items and weapons.

  • Bugs Bunny: Crazy Castle 3 was released in 1999 for the Game Boy Color in Japan. In this adventure game, developed by Kemco, Bugs Bunny finds a book in an antiques shop entitled "The Treasure of the Old Castle". Bugs reads that the treasure will bring glory to its finder, but the exact location of the treasure is unknown. However the other Looney Tunes try to stop Bugs from finding the treasure. Bugs shall have to get past 61 levels each containing eight keys and he will find the treasure in none other than Lola Bunny.

  • Pokémon FireRed and Pokémon LeafGreen were released in 2004 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this role-playing game remakes of the Game Boy's Pokémon Red, Pokémon Green and Pokémon Blue, developed by Game Freak, travel through Kanto, battling, capturing and training wild Pokémon as well as tackling other trainers, and the evil Team Rocket. Between catching the 200 Pokémon, including 10 unique to each version of the game, visit one of the eight gyms in an attempt to prove your worth and become a Pokémon Master.
