The goal of this game to control a snake to move and collect food (the numbers from 1 to 9) in the screen map. If you collect all the 9 numbers, you win and the game is over. If you try to move the snake with a movement contrary to its movement (eg move it to the right while it is going to the left), you lose and the game is over. In the same place where a number is eaten, an obstacle is left. If the snake touch one of the obstacles or the edges of the screen, the game is over. To start the game again just write RUN and press RETURN.

It is a time of war in your galaxy. Your people, the Atarians, defend against constant attacks from the Commodorians. Due to circumstances beyond your control (a fixed lottery), it has been decided that you, Rom Antic, must deliver vital details to a secret base hidden deep in a safe part of your galaxy. You hop into your aging ship, the Pokey Cruiser, and take off with no time to spare. Unfortunately, the shortest path to the base is blocked by 10 waves of deadly asteroids and mines. Your rather BASIC laser can only dispatch the smallest asteroids, so you will need to rely heavily on evasive maneuvers to dodge your way through all 10 waves and safely reach your goal. Good luck! Atarians in the galaxy are counting on you!

This is a simulation of bombing at night during World War II. The white marks passing below are target markers (flares released at lower level by target marking aircraft. You must maneuver your aircraft so that markers are in the centre of your site when the bombs you have released detonate. This involves accounting for your present height (1-6), so that the bombs will explode with the most markers within the blast range (the red area in centre of your targeting site) when the bombs hit the ground. Therefore, at higher heights you must release your bombs sooner, since it takes more time for them to fall, so that they will hit the ground when the target markers are in the centre of your site. If you completely miss (fail to have any markers within the blast area) you lose a point, if you only have one marker in the blast area no points are lost or gained. You must have at least two markers in the area to begin to gain points. A total score is reported at the end of your bomb run.
