Alien Invaders is a variant of Space Invaders . A 14x5 rectangular formation of enemy spacecraft appears from the top of the screen, and slowly gets closer to the surface of the Earth. You control a mobile missile launcher that can shoot up at the invaders, while the aliens try to bomb you. As in Space Invaders, there are fortifications which can give you some shelter from the bombs, and these are slowly worn away as they are bombarded. There is also an enemy mother-ship that appears overhead, which gives you bonus points. But unlike Space Invaders, there is only one wave. Once the main enemy formation is defeated, you can only gain more points by aiming at the mother-ships until the five minute timer runs out.

Star Chess is a game of chess for two players. The rules are based on standard chess rules but the pieces are represented by space ships.

3D Soccer is a two-player only sports game for the Emerson Arcadia and compatible consoles. Each team is represented by a group of four footballers (less than the 11 for real-life soccer) scattered around the field. The two teams are differently coloured: white and blue. The nearest player to the ball from each team is highlighted as yellow or black, and you can only control this player. Game play involves collecting the ball with your player, dribbling it towards the goal at your end of the field (or preventing your opponent from doing the same) and then kicking the ball into the net.

Baseball for the Arcadia 2001 is a passable rendition of America's favourite pastime. Players control each outfielder individually and can throw the ball to each of the four bases, but the computer controls the infielders. When a ball is hit to an infielder, the batter is automatically out. When a ball is hit into the outfield, the perspective switches to an odd close-up angle of the nearest outfielder, who can run right and left to try and catch the ball. Pitchers can throw fast and slow and curve the ball right and left, providing the potential for some crazy- looking pitches.

3D Bowling is a sports game where you are charged with the task of knocking over ten pins at the end of a lane with your bowling ball. When it is your turn, you are shown both a side-view of the lane as well as a view of the pins. The controls allow you to position yourself across the lane, then when ready, to step towards the foul line and release the ball towards your targets. On release, you may choose to hook the ball to the left or right. Stepping across the foul line results in a zero score for that throw. Otherwise, you will see the ball travel up the lane, and then switch to an "expanded view" of the pins as the ball arrives. Pins are reset after each strike, and if there are no pins standing after the second throw, you are awarded a bonus throw, allowing up to 30 points per frame for a total of 10 frames. There are both one and two player game options.

Astro Invader is a fixed screen shoot 'em up. The player moves their laser base across the bottom of the screen and has to shoot down the aliens that appear above. What sets Astro Invader apart from other early shoot 'em ups is that the aliens, after being dropped from their mothership, position themselves in columns. Once a column is full the lowest alien drops down and suicide dives towards the player. As they hit the ground they explode and the player must make sure they are not within the blast radius. In addition to the standard aliens there are also UFOs that appear in the middle and to the sides of the screen. These must be shot down as they will kill the player when landing, no matter where the player is positioned. The game is over when all three lives are lost.
