The lost city of Atlantis is under attack! Wave after wave of Gorgon vessels are approaching, each armed with weapons capable of destroying a part of the city. You are in charge of the command posts at the edges of the city and need to defend it from the invaders. The various gorgon craft will keep flying by on the screen in varying numbers and in different flight patterns. At first they fly high in the sky but then progressively lower. If an enemy makes it low enough before you destroy it, it will use it's weapons and destroy one of the buildings in Atlantis. As you progress in the game, the enemy craft will keep increasing in speed. The game ends when all remaining buildings in the city have been destroyed.

A copy of Pac-Man, but with various improvements. This game is primarily known for the Atari lawsuit against it which set an important precedent for copyright and lawsuits in videogames.

Demon Attack is an arcade action game with gameplay similar to Space Invaders. You control a laser cannon at the bottom of the screen, and need to destroy wave after wave of brightly colored demons. The demons bounce around the screen in bizarre patterns, and try to destroy your cannon with bombs or lasers. When you shoot a demon, it will be replaced with another or will split into two smaller demons depending on which wave you are playing. When the required number of demons for the current round is finally destroyed, you can move on to the next, more difficult round.

Tutankham is a combination of the maze, action and shoot 'em up genres. Taking on the role of an explorer grave robbing Tutankhamun's tomb, the player is chased by creatures such as asps, vultures, parrots, bats, dragons, and even curses, all that kill the player on contact. The explorer can fight back by firing lasers at the creatures, but he can only cover the left and right directions. The player is also endowed with a single screen-clearing "flash bomb" per level or life. Finally, each level has warp zones that teleport the player around the level, which enemies cannot use. To progress, the player collects keys open locked doors throughout the levels, searching for the large exit door. Optional treasures can be picked-up for bonus points. Each level has a timer; when it reaches zero the explorer can no longer fire lasers, and once a level is cleared the remaining time is converted to bonus points.

Spider-Man released in 1982 by Parker Brothers was the first video game to feature SpiderMan and also the first video game based on a Marvel Comics character.

The player has to move a sequence of numbers (9 to 0) from the point A of a pattern of lines to point D (or B in the variations). The numbers must be placed in point D in the same descending order. There are two other points to which the numbers can be moved, B and C. If one or more numbers are parked in one of the points, the player can only additionally move to that point numbers which are lower than the last one already parked. The numbers can be moved one by one only and to do so the player has to type the letter of origin and then type the destiny letter. Moves can be undone by pressing the "clear" key. The computer keeps track of the time elapsed and the number of moves made by the player, also showing the minimum amount of moves to solve the puzzle. There are 9 other possible variations, with the difference of having the way to point D blocked and different amounts of numbers to move. Those variations can be selected by pressing "reset" and the desired number, as follows: one figure - minimum number of moves: 1 two figures - minimum number of moves: 3 three figures - minimum number of moves: 7 four figures - minimum number of moves: 15 five figures - minimum number of moves: 31 six figures - minimum number of moves: 63 seven figures - minimum number of moves: 127 eight figures - minimum number of moves: 255 nine figures - minimum number of moves: 511

Comando Noturno! (Night Commando!) is a combat flight simulator. The player controls a fighter plane on a night mission, and his task is to take off, destroy the target, avoid enemy attack and return to base.

The computer is the dealer. The object of the game is to get a higher count of cards than the dealer, up to but not over 21. If a player draws cards with a point value over 21, the hand is a BUST, and he loses his bet to the dealer. If the dealer's goes BUST, he pays off each of the remaining players. A player may "draw" any number of cards until he reaches or exceeds a total of 21. The dealer must "draw" a card on 16 or less and "stick" with his hand on 17 or more. An ace counts as either 1 or 11 at the player's discretion. Kings, queens and jacks count as 10 each. All other cards count as their face value.

In Super Bee the player controls a bee flying in a magic garden, where fruits keep popping everywhere. The fruits must be eaten (by flying over them), while avoiding to crash in the garden's fences (the edges of the screen). Additionally, when a fruit is eaten a magic barrier will appear, in the same direction in which the bee is flying, and it also must avoid crashing on them. The player earns points by gathering fruits as follows: Lemon (yellow): 5 points Apple (red): 10 points Pear (green): 15 points Plum (grey): 20 points Strawberry (red): 25 points When the player reaches 105 points a bonus round takes place. A big spider appears in the screen, along with a fruit, for a limited time. Super Bee must avoid the spider and eat the fruit. By doing so the player earns 50 points. The next bonus rounds take place every 15 more points. There are 10 skill levels available (by pressing 0 to 9), each one with different mazes.

MONKEY TAG! (1 or 2 players) Press 0 on the numeric section of the Odyssey2 keyboard. The screen will display four computer-controlled monkeys in a matrix of monkey bars. Two men appear at the lower right and left of the screen. They are activated by the hand controls. The object of the game is to tag as many monkeys as you can with your man - without getting tagged back. The left hand control maneuvers the man at the lower left of the screen. The right hand control activates the man at the lower right of the screen. Push the joystick to the right to make your man go to the right. Push the joystick to the left to make your man go to the left. Push the joystick forward and press the action button to make your man jump up to the next highest level of monkey bars. Push the joystick forward at an angle and press the action button to make your man jump on a diagonal. The men can only jump up one level of monkey bars at a time. One man can give the other a boost. If one jumps on the head of the other, he can reach the next highest level of monkey bars on his next jump. A man tags a monkey by catching it and pressing the action button. The tagged monkey will jump away in the direction the joystick is held at the instant the action button is pressed. If you catch a monkey and delay pressing the action button, the monkey will jump away without a tag being scored. Players score one point for every monkey tagged. The game score appears at the lower left of the screen. The highest score in a series of games appears just above the game score. If both hand controls are being used, the men play as a team and the score displays their total points. You are not competing with another player - you are competing with the computer. When a monkey is tagged, it will turn red and try to tag one of the men. If a man is tagged by a red monkey, he will freeze in position and is out of the game. The higher the game score, the longer the monkeys will stay red and the harder it will be for the men to avoid getting caught. A new game will start automatically when both men have been tagged by red monkeys. The monkey bars will be displayed in a completely different arrangement at the beginning of each new game. Every game automatically starts at the first skill level. When ten points have been scored, the computer will automatically change to the next highest skill level to provide greater challenge. The third skill level will be presented when 30 points have been scored. The monkeys stay red longer and are more difficult to evade with every increase in skill level. If you wish to play at the second skill level before scoring ten points, press the + key once. To play at the third skill level, press the + key twice. TAILSPIN! (1 or 2 players) Press RESET. Press 0 on the numeric section of the keyboard. Press R (for ROTATION) on the alphabet section of the keyboard. The monkey bars will rotate upwards to a new position every few seconds. This calls for a completely different playing strategy. You will have to anticipate the next position of the monkey bars and adjust your movement and timing accordingly. Press S (for STOP) on the alphabet section of the keyboard to stop the rotation of the monkey bars. You can start or stop the rotation of the monkey bars at any time during the game. SHUTEYE! (1 or 2 players) Press RESET. Press 0 on the numeric section of the keyboard. Press I (for INVISIBLE) on the alphabet section of the keyboard. The monkey bars will disappear. You are now playing blindfolded - but the monkeys are not. The monkey bars will reappear momentarily any time one of the men is falling. They will also reappear if one of the men stands on the head of the other. Press V (for VISIBLE) to make the monkey bars reappear. MONKEY CHESS! (3 players) Press RESET. Press 0 on the numeric section of the keyboard. You are now playing a new kind of chess against a grand master, the Great Monkey himself. He has twice as many pieces - but you have complete control of the board. It is the classic game turned inside out. Two of the players operate the hand controls. The third player tries to outwit the Great Monkey by changing the pattern of the chess board of monkey bars throughout the game! To remove a vertical monkey bar: Locate the bar by its letter and number coordinates. Press the number on the numeric section of the keyboard. Press the letter on the alphabet section of the keyboard. Press CLEAR. The vertical bar will disappear. To add a vertical monkey bar: Locate the coordinates for the position in which you wish to insert the monkey bar. Press the number. Press the letter. Press ENTER. To delete a horizontal monkey bar: Locate the bar by its letter and number coordinates. Press the letter. Press the number. Press CLEAR. To add a horizontal monkey bar: Locate the coordinates of the position in which you wish to place the horizontal monkey bar. Press the letter. Press the number. Press ENTER. In summary, pressing the letter first will affect horizontal bars. Pressing the number first will affect the vertical bars. The player controlling the keyboard masterminds the strategy it takes to beat the Great Monkey at his own game. "Ladders" can be built to help the men get quickly to any part of the screen. Ladders can also be "unbuilt" to prevent the monkeys from using them. "Cages" can be built to temporarily delay tagged monkeys from tagging the men. Hint: Pretend that the cage has a door and memorize its coordinates. One of the men tags a monkey and uses the joystick to release him into the cage. The player using the keyboard has already preset the "door" coordinates and is ready to press ENTER. The completely closed cage will delay a tagged red monkey from tagging one of the men. The player controlling the keyboard can also insert obstacle bars in the path of pursuing red monkeys. BANANAS! (For professionals only. 3 players.) Press RESET. Press 0 on the numeric section of the keyboard. Insert the keyboard entries for Tailspin, Shuteye and Monkey Chess is various combinations. You will be using all your firepower to confuse the monkeys and achieve high scores under very exotic conditions. The challenge range will escalate from utter confusion to total chaos! RECAP OF KEYBOARD ENTRY CODES: TAILSPIN! R (Rotate) S (Stop) SHUTEYE! I (Invisible) V (Visible) MONKEY CHESS!

In the year 213 B.C. the town of Syracuse in southern Sicily, was besieged by the troops of the Roman consul Marcellus. The battle lasted three years, giving Archimedes time to perfect his ingenious system for defending Syracuse. Archimedes' idea was to reflect the sun off a mirror onto the enemy ships. The sunlight reflected in this way would be concentrated enough to set fire to the Roman warships. Despite a heroic defense, the Romans won. As for Archimedes, he was so absorbed in a geometry problem when the Romans landed, that he was killed by a Roman soldier because he refused to answer his questions. With the Syracuse game you will be able to be part of this historic event as often as you like. So, to your joy-sticks ! And do not forget that the battle must start at sunrise and finish at sunset.

The Mousing Cat is another game about the eternal conflict between felines and rodents. The game consists in a series of six encounters in which the players alternate the roles of cat and mouse (three times each). The winner is the player with most points at the end of the series. The only player to score is the mouse. He does so by eating the cheese pieces scattered through the room. To eat, the player controlling the mouse has to press and hold the "action" button. The longer the button stay pressed, the more it eats. If the mouse eats for a certain amount of time, it will grow bigger than the cat and will be immune for a short period of time.

THE GREAT WALL STREET FORTUNE HUNT is an authentic computerized model of the real investment world. The opportunities for investment in the game represent the thousands of alternatives available on the various exchanges. You'll find conservative blue chips like IBM (International Business Machines Corporation) and high risk high flyers like WOW (Wildcat Oil Western). You'll find the fast food industry represented by McDonald's Corporation and high technology manufacturers represented by Texas Instruments. Each of the companies available for investment not only represents itself but other similar companies as well. Therefore the Standard Oil Company (Indiana) also represents Shell, Mobil, Arco and the other large petroleum companies. Each of the investments has a different sensitivity to the news flashes which come across the TV screen. For example - some investments will go up at a time of world crisis and others will go down. The inherent sensitivity of each investment to the various categories of news is graphically displayed on the gameboard. Your ultimate objective is to anticipate investment fluctuations swiftly enough to take full advantage of the many buying and selling opportunities which will occur in a different way every time you play. The rules of The Great Wall Street Fortune Hunt are designed to replicate real life as closely as possible. You can play it at four levels. It is highly recommended that you feel thoroughly comfortable at one level before incorporating the next level as part of the game. Have fun! Make money!!!

Robot City is a maze shooter. The player controls a robot trying to destroy the Andromeda robots inside a maze. The Andromeda robots have force fields and can only be destroyed by being shot in their backs. They only shoot forward, and will do so whenever the player crosses their line of fire, even when walls are in the way. If the player manages to make two Andromeda robots destroy each other, bonus points are awarded (25 instead of the usual 10 for destroyed robot). The player is killed whenever hit by enemy fire or colliding with the Andromeda bots (or their remains, when destroyed). After killing all four robots in a level, the player progresses to the next, more difficult, level.

A math edutainment game, featuring the synthesized 'voice' capabilities of the Odyssey 2.

CONQUEST OF THE WORLD represents a significant departure from traditional game design. The components have been designed to provide you with a very realistic model of the real world to both electronically and graphically simulate strategic and tactical confrontation between world powers. Electronic land, sea and air forces can be deployed against each other in any combination and are totally dependent on supplies which are represented by energy units. The game board is a true-to-life model of the relationships between countries of the real world in the early 1980's. Forty-three countries have been divided into eleven "politectonic" or geo-political zones. Each country has been weighted with a power base figure that reflects its capability to persuade other nations to conform to its wishes - by diplomatic coercion or by direct military force. These figures are based on the formula created by Ray S. Cline, formerly Deputy Director of Intelligence for the C.I.A. Pp = (C+E+M)x(S+W) PERCEIVED POWER = (Critical Mass (Population + Territory) + Economic Capability + Military Capability) x (Strategic Purpose + National Will). Future shifts in world power and change in governments will - of course - make changes in these numeric weightings appropriate. Players can feel free to sustain realism by changing the numbers assigned to each country as life goes on. If you play other war games such as those published by Avalon Hill and SPI, you will find that the computer cartridge interfaces very effectively with them. The onscreen combats will generate much more excitement and realism than the usual dice provided to resolve conflicts. Onscreen energy units can be programmed into the computer to reflect the relative strength between different forces. The differential between the onscreen energy units at the end of each battle can also be applied to the combat results tables that come with these games. Conquest of the World is the first game of its kind, so be ready for many unusual features. Take the rules one step at a time and you will find it to be a fascinating game of endless challenge - which, once learned, is not at all difficult to explain to others. THE OBJECTIVE OF THE GAME is to lead your Homeland to world domination through negotiations, conquests and alliances. Each successful conquest and alliance you make will strengthen your country's power base. The country with the strongest power base at the end of the game is the winner.

Pachinko! is based on the Japanese gaming device of the same name. The players are shown right below a giant Pachinko game. Five cups are placed across the screen, with two rotors, one at each side, and the Magic Mountain in the middle. The object of the game is to bounce the balls inside the cups to earn points. Each player has an energizer, used to beat the ball. If the action button is pressed, the energizer will be risen and if the ball touches it, it will continue its horizontal direction. If the ball touches an energizer not completely raised, the ball direction will be reversed. If the ball hits a player, it will loose energy.

Three games are available in this compilation: - Speedway! (selected by pressing "1") is a vertical scrolling racing game against the clock.
