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.

Capture is a strategy game clone of Reversi or Othello, Capture has players taking turns placing black and red game pieces on a green 64-space grid. The objective is to trap the other player's pieces and several pieces can be trapped at once. When a piece gets trapped, it changes to the colour of the trapping player's pieces. When the board gets full, the player occupying the most spaces wins the game. Games can be timed, and players can give or take a time handicap. There are six different skill levels from which to choose.
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.

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.
