Helmet (released as Headache in Europe) is a Game & Watch game. It's part of the "Gold" series.

Information

The player controls a man trying to cross the street. As he crosses the street, various objects are falling from the sky. The player must dodge the objects. If they get hit three times, the game is over. Game A is the easier mode. In Game B, the objects fall faster.
