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.
