Rain Shower is a multiscreen Game & Watch video game released in 1983. It was released in 1983 and Nintendo reportedly made an estimated 250,000 units worldwide. In the game, your clothes are hanging up to dry outside, but it's about to rain, and you have to make sure your clothes don't get wet. The rain comes down in segments, so you can move the wire from left to right to make sure the segment of rain that's coming down don't get onto your clothes. In Game & Watch Gallery 4 for the Game Boy Advance the original game plus a new version that features Mario characters.
There are two floors, with each floor having a clothes line on the left and the right. In the beginning of a game a cloud will generate over the character's house, and rain drops will start to fall. The character will then have to go up to the second floor and move the line so that the rain doesn't drop on the clothes. He'll then have to go to the main floor and change the positioning of the clothes down there until the water hits the ground.
