Popular games for platform Arcadia 2001

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.

In this timed game, you have two minutes to build a space station from four pieces that are floating around in space.

Missile War is a shoot 'em up game, based on the arcade classic Missile Command.

Hobo was developed and published by Emerson Radio Corp., which was released in 1983. This is essentially a Frogger clone, albeit the road is diagonal and you play a bum/hobo instead of a frog.

3D Attack looks on first glance like a Zaxxon clone. But it is missing the most important part: scrolling. It is a fixed screen shooter, where you can fly your ship up and down to avoid obstacles. There are five different screens to fly through.

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.

Golf is a sports game for up to two alternating players, developed and published by Emerson Radio Corp., which was released in 1982.

Crazy Gobbler is a Pac-Man variant. Players take control of the entity known as the Gobbler and are tasked with gobbling all the beans in a maze before the three monsters roaming around gobble the Gobbler. If the Gobbler eats one of the vitamins found in the playfield, the player has a small window of time to direct the Gobbler to munch on the monsters. Occasionally an apple will appear which will earn the player extra points when eaten.

Circus is an acrobat game, a clone of the arcade Exidy's Circus

Gameplay consists of two modes, a vertical shooting part and an action part. In the shooting part, the VF-1S (Fighter Mode) has to navigate through waves of Regults with a Thuverl-Salan moving back and forth at the top of the screen. After some time, the ship will temporarily open up and start flashing, signaling that it can be infiltrated. If the player fails to enter within the allotted period, the shooting part will continue until it occurs once again. Upon successful entry, the VF-1S shifts to Battroid Mode and the action part begins. The Thuverl-Salan's interior consists of two maze-like corridor screens with Glaugs patrolling the area. The objective is to reach the ship's core in the second screen and destroy it. After doing so, the BGM will be superimposed by an alarm signal and a 100-second countdown will start. The VF-1S must escape before the Thuverl-Salan explodes. The Glaugs in the first screen will respawn, making things difficult. The game will then cycle back to the shooting part and go in the same looping sequence until all VF-1S units are lost.

Breakaway is a clone of the Arcade game "Breakout"

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. There are some additional game mechanics such as the ability to fire missiles, pieces have shields that defend them and pieces can warp into hyperspace when in trouble. After warping the piece will return at a random time and place on the board. There is no option for playing against an AI.

Boxing is a sports game

Space Vulture is game #7 for the Arcadia 2001 collection of systems.

You are trapped in a maze and enemy robots are all over! Shoot them down with your laser gun, but watch out for their counterattack: They are armed too! Be careful: Walls are electrified.

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.
