Game & Watch: Vermin
  
Game & Watch: Vermin was a whack-a-mole game by Nintendo Research & Development 1 that was published by Nintendo in a standard screen format with a silver case in 1980. It used frame-by-frame movement on a liquid crystal display and was the third Game & Watch system. 

In North America, it was published by the toy corporation Mego as Time-Out: Exterminator. The Mego partnership expired after a year, and Nintendo of America distributed it under its original Japanese title.

In Germany, it was published by the toy company Bienengraeber as tricOtronic: Maulwurfsjagd (Mole Hunt).

Vermin was preceded by the second Game & Watch console, Flagman, and was succeeded by the fourth Game & Watch console, Fire.

It was remade in Game Boy Gallery for Game Boy in 1995. Vermin was then remade in Game & Watch Gallery 2 for Game Boy in 1997, for Game Boy Color in 1998, and for the Nintendo 3DS Virtual Console in 2012. It was also reproduced accurately as DSiWare for the Nintendo DSi in 2009.

A version with Link hitting octoroks was included in the Game & Watch: The Legend of Zelda console in 2021.
