Popular games for platform AY-3-8500

Squash is a variation of the classic paddle-game PONG where the players are supposed to hit the ball alternately against a wall.

Skeet is one of the first target shooting games for home consoles. It's a built-in a game available on every AY-3-8500 chip, although many console-manufacturers didn't make it available to use.

Target plays similar to the game "Skeet", with the only difference that the dot never flies off the screen but keeps bouncing back from the edges.

Solo is a single player mode of PONG where one player keeps hitting the ball against a wall.

A ball-and-paddle game developed by General Instruments as one of the built-in games on their custom chips for dedicated consoles. It was included on the original custom chip released by GI in 1976, the AY-3-8500. An upgraded version of the game was included on the AY-3-8600 chip in 1977 featuring color and actual hockey goals. The novelty was that the ball could bounce behind these as well.
