Flagman
Flagman is one of the first Game & Watch systems, released on June 5, 1980[1]. Players have to press buttons that corresponds with the number shown to make the pirate either hold a flag of show his feet. The better the player gets at the game, the harder the game gets. If the player presses the wrong button at any time, that player will lose a life.

Flagman was re-made in Game & Watch Gallery 3, as an unlockable game. It has the same rules, but with some small differences. In Game A, the player has to follow the flag order that's given to him/her. In Game B, the player has to raise the flag that matches the number shown.
Flagman DD of Wario Land II is also a remake of this game, hence the name. Instead of a pirate, a DD hosts it. The controls are different too, and two more buttons will be added progressively.
Lastly, Flagman became a microgame in WarioWare: Touched!, just like some other Game & Watch games. Players use the touch screen of the Nintendo DS to select the foot or flag.
