Moto-Crash + is a motorcycle racing game. The goal is to drive as far as possible within the time limit of three minutes. The game features 4 predefined circuits (selected with the keys 1 to 4 at the start of the game) plus one random circuit generated by the computer (selected with the 0 key). The conditions of each circuit change as the player progresses. The race starts during daytime; once the player drives 6 km the night falls; at 10 km, the road becomes wet; at 20 km, the road becomes snowy and at 30 km the road becomes icy. Changes in weather conditions are not only accompanied by graphical changes but also gameplay ones, as the motorcycle's adherence to the road changes. If the player drives 6 km in daytime or 4 km in nighttime in any weather condition without crashing the computer awards him or her a bonus time.

You play a miner named Pickaxe Pete, and you start off in the middle of the screen with a pick-axe. There are three doors from which boulders are coming, bouncing down the mine-shafts; every time Pete destroys one of these he gains 3 points, although the axe wears out after a while and disappears. When two boulders collide, they explode, and out comes either a pick-axe which floats to the bottom of the screen, a key which floats to the top, or nothing. If Pete has no axe, you can either jump over boulders (gaining him 1 point), or get to the bottom of the mine to retrieve a new axe (gaining a 5-point bonus). If he collects a key then he can enter the doors, which lead him to the next level.
Soccer replaced the game Football in European export versions of the Magnavox Odyssey. It uses a custom screen overlay and two game cards, #3 and #5. The gameplay is a variant of Table Tennis in which the horizontal position of players is fixed (although not enforced by the Odyssey console itself).

Once a player has reached a position in the opponent's half of the playing field, a goal can be scored. The game also includes rules for penalty kicks, which require changing the game card.
