It's pictured below (center game).
The instructions are in Japanese - I'm clueless. It sort of looks like Atari's Kaboom! What am I supposed to do?
Thanks for any info!

As the bombs fall, stop and then flash, you go over them using your water to defuse them.
As your water runs out, refill it up the top right of screen and continue defusing the bombs that stop and flash. Do so many to clear the level.
If you're too slow they mutate I think then you can use activate the fire hydrants to kill them.
Nice games there. BMX Flyer, Mr Do and Western Bar are some of the best playable games made. |

Gotcha. I was *sorta* getting that from playing it, but understanding the refill part is critical.  Awesome.

Thanks! Yeah, I love the TOMY Colorlaser series; I could play BMX Flyer and Mr. Do for a long time in one sitting. For as intricate as the hardware seems to be, the creators obviously spent a long time worrying about the gameplay, too. As far as arcade translations go in classic handhelds, it's up there amongst the best, I'd say.
Western Bar is fun. No wonder people like Casio LCDs - it's addictive.
I haven't fired up Tutankham yet - just got it, and I need batteries... |

Ohhh...you should've posted sooner. I *did* try it this morning, found it wasn't to my liking, and gave it to my friend's 11-year-old. He's all into Nintendo DS, so he's gonna gut the Tutankham and use it as a pencil holder.
[I'm kidding. No heart attacks, please!]
I think I'll grab some c batteries on the way home. The battery compartment is a little dirty, but I don't see any rust or corrosion... |

| I got the game too, but I'm still puzzled. It looks like you can put water on a bomb, then it will be hold for a while, but if another one falls on top they continue falling. If you press water a couple of times a bomb disappears, but then you have the risk another one falls on top of you. I'll keep trying to figure it out. |
