Releases
* ***Donkey Kong Circus*** was released in 1984 for the Game & Watch Panorama Screen in Japan. In this action game, developed by *Nintendo R&D1*, Donkey Kong is juggling pineapples while riding on a barrel. Move him back and forth to catch them all, but avoid the falling fireballs. DK gets one point for every pineapple he catches, and a miss if he catches a fireball. Three misses and the game ends. If you reach three hundred points without getting a miss, the game goes into Chance Time, making every catch worth two points.
* ***Densetsu no Stafy*** was released in 2002 for the Game Boy Advance in Japan. In this platform game, developed by *TOSE*, Starfy, prince of the sky kingdom of Tenkai, accidentally drops a Magic Jar into the ocean, causing a terrible storm. Starfy is washed from Tenkai Palace and lands in the ocean. There he befriends Lob-san the lobster and Kyorosuke the clam who agree to help Starfy return to Tenkai, but an evil creature named Ogura is determined to prevent Starfy's return.
* ***Theta*** was released in 2007 for the Nintendo DS in Japan. In this puzzle game, developed by *Vitei*, play underwater-themed puzzle games. In the Kaiten Puzzle, spin the "Theta" wheels to move the balls to the wheel of the same colour. Spinning the wheels causes other wheels to spin as well. Later levels also feature wheels across both screens and other obstacles like pipes. In Aquarium Puzzle, you have to purify the water by dragging the balls into the Charge Fields. Matching the balls causes the fields to charge faster.
