Once in the game, using the arrow keys you can move the 'Scanner' ship around the 'Shield Line' at the parameter of the playing area. While moving around this edge the ship is protected from the aliens by a shield indicated by a glowing circle around the ship. This shield is not infinite and care should be taken to complete each level as quickly as possible. A counter indicates the level of shield that you have: when it reaches zero then any contact with an alien is deadly whether you are on the 'Shield Line' or not. The idea of the game is to cut areas out of the screen without touching any of the aliens. This is done by pressing the SPACE key which initiates the 'Laser Cutter' and moving off the 'Shield Line' and rejoining it somewhere else. While you are in the process of drawing a line, your shield is inactive and touching an alien is fatal. Similarly, if one of the aliens touches the line then it will send a charge down the line towards you and you must quickly return to the safety of the edge before it reaches you. When you rejoin the 'Shield Line' the area that does not contain the 'Boss' alien will be filled (points are gained by trapping the other aliens) and the 'Shield Line' will be adjusted to surround the area that is left. The level is completed when a certain percentage of the total area has been filled in. This percentage starts at 80% but may increase in the later levels.
Cannon Fodder is an action-strategy shoot 'em up game developed by Sensible Software and published by Virgin Interactive. The game is military-themed and based on shooting action but with a strategy game-style control system. The player directs troops through numerous missions, battling enemy infantry, vehicles and installations. Cannon Fodder has a darkly humorous tone which commentators variously praised and condemned. Its creators intended it to convey an anti-war message, which some reviewers recognised, but the Daily Star and a number of public figures derided the game. In other respects, reviewers highly praised the game, which widely achieved scores of over 90% in Amiga magazines. Amiga Action awarded it an unprecedented score, calling it the best game of the year.

In Astrosmash you control a laser canon at the bottom of the screen; your goal is to earn as many points as possible by destroying the various incoming meteors, bombs, and other objects. Points are earned for destroying objects, while points are lost for letting them get past you. Meteors are the most common item you need to defend yourself against. They come in various sizes and colors, and some even split into two smaller meteors when shot. Mixed in with the meteors are white spinning bombs. While letting a meteor get past you will only lower your score, you have to shoot the spinners. If one gets past, you will lose a life. On the more difficult levels, ufo's and guided missiles will also appear occasionally and attempt to destroy your canon.

Garou Densetsu vs. Fighter's History Dynamite is a crossover title of the Fatal Fury and Fighter's History series. Similar to the slot game and boxset, this collaboration title was created to celebrate Fatal Fury′s 15th Anniversary. It also gave a chance for both companies to share the intellectual property for Fighter's History. The game was primarily developed by G-mode and was released for the i-mode and Yahoo networks on July 2, 2007. SNK Playmore returned the sentiments by placing Makoto Mizoguchi in KOF: Maximum Impact Regulation "A". Unlike their game of origins, this title is a side-scrolling beat 'em up. Players travel the world looking for either Geese or Karnov. Fighting is like other games in the genre with the exception of the three-bar super gauge at the bottom of the screen, allowing players to perform their character's special or desperation moves. The computer can also use their special techniques and aren't given a particular limit. Plane switching from the Fatal Fury series is kept intact and serves as the dodge/block for this game. Stages, sprites, and music from Fighter's History Dynamite or Fatal Fury 2 are used for the main visuals.
