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.

The player controls a small, circular spaceship which must travel around the screen collecting crystals. This task is made more difficult by the aliens which constantly swarm out from the portals on both sides of the screen. These can be shot down by the ship's gun (which has unlimited ammo) or eliminated by activating one of the player's limited supply of "smart bombs", which will clear the screen of all current enemies.
The game follows the movie's plot, following Harry Potter as he tries to enlist Hogwarts students to his new secret society, Dumbledore's Army, in order to teach students Defence Against the Dark Arts. Being a mobile game, the story is mostly via dialogues and the occasional cutscene; each of the game's levels is preceded by a text-only introduction that sums up previous events. The players control Harry as he tries to sneak through the Hogwarts corridors, unseen by fellow students; from time to time, the stealth sequences are interrupted by duels (twitch action mini-games) and simple puzzles.

Scooby-Doo!: Castle Capers is a puzzle adventure game starring Scooby and Shaggy from the cartoon series. The gang's car broke down and they had to stop at a mansion that turned out to be haunted. It's now their job to investigate the mansion and find out what is really going on. The mansion acts as a level select area and the place where most of the conversation between the gang and the characters in the mansion occurs. After clearing a level, the next door is unlocked and players can go there. Players can't replay the levels they've already cleared. In the levels, players have a time limit to find a clue and leave the level through the entrance. Players can switch between Scooby and Shaggy at any time and will need to use both characters to open paths for each other and solve the puzzles of the levels. Although the game has hearts in the top left corner of the screen, both Scooby and Shaggy lose one heart if the enemy touches them and have to start the level from the beginning.
