Game and Watch: Egg - Widescreen

Egg (1981, EG-26)  is a Game & Watch video game released in 1981. The game was similar to the previously released Mickey Mouse game, though due to copyright issues which prevented them from using the brand in some countries, they replaced Mickey Mouse with a wolf, though the gameplay remains essentially the same.  Egg was never released in Japan.  The game sold an estimated 250,000 units worldwide. 

Gameplay
Chicken lay eggs. Control the wolf so that he catches them in his hat. There are three drops in game A in which the egg rolls down, whereas in Game B all four drops are used. If an egg breaks, a life is lost, although if a cockerel is on the screen, a chicken will hatch and walk away. 

Trivia

• The countries where Mickey Mouse was replaced by Egg include some Asian countries and Australia.
• Interestingly, Egg was included in the Game Boy Color video game Game & Watch Gallery 3 in 1999.

Rarity

Extremely rare, as only 250,000 were manufactured, and hardly seen on Ebay.
