LCD Game port

Mario Bros II for Commodore

Is this the only one? Ever been ported to computers or video game consoles or handhelds?

Needless to say, except Game & Watch Gallery series.

so what's your gripe with the Game & Watch Gallery series?

iirc they reproduce the G&W quite nice - and some of them are even "Super Game Boy enhanced" so you can play them on a TV with neat casing designs...

Here are some I can think of:

-There was an official PC port of Tetris Jr. that could be downloaded for free from the Tetris website, but it doesn't seem to be available any more.

-Wario Land 2 has a game based on Flagman in it.

-Donkey Kong 3 (Arcade/NES) is a follow up of sorts to Greenhouse and even has the same main character.

-Urban Champion for NES plays very similar to the Boxing/Punch Out vs. handheld.

-The Gameboy Camera has a version of Ball in it.

I think it's just because game and watch ports are really quite obvious. Are there any non game and watch/non nintento LCD ports? I can't think of any

Other than the Nintendo handheld ports, the closest I can think of is the game.com (which pretty much sucks). It has ports of some non LCD handhelds like Lights Out and Quiz Wiz and some games that are similar to the handheld versions (Indy 500 comes to mind). Oh yeah, Bandai ported Tomagatchi to the GB and GBC.

I Love Game & Watch Gallery series( got 1~4, can't get Game & Watch Collection for DS) and just found this

I'd never seen anything like that Commodore game, and have to add this "The same gameplay style as the original"

Cool site, though the list isn't really complete since it's missing Wario Land 2 (Flagman DD) and the Game Boy Camera (Ball).

Cool, I got one of those recently when I bought a second- (third-?) hand GBC. Glad to see I'm not totally left out of this.

Also, for what it's worth Kellogg's had a promotion at one time with a wristwatch that had a Donkey Kong G&W style game on it. Sorta like the Tetris watch, except more fun.
