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 canon 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 canon 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.

Press 1 on the alpha-numeric keyboard. You are now trapped in the Land of Keynesium. You and your opponent are represented by the animated figures which appear at the lower right and the lower left of the maze entrance. The net worth of each figure is directly below it. Each player starts off with $500,000. Two Keynesian robots are in the center of the screen atop the maze entrance. Every maze is a game within a game. You and your opponent are playing against the robots which represent different factors of the economy. But you are also playing against each other. You will be changing strategies throughout the game - sometimes cooperating with the robots to thwart your opponent - sometimes collaborating with your opponent to beat the robots. Each maze offers you the opportunity to make money or the chance to hang onto what money you have. An electronic signal will appear center screen to tell you which to expect - and how much cash is at stake. The right hand control unit activates the right hand figure. The left hand control unit controls the left hand figure. Push the joy stick away from you to make your player go up. Pull the joy stick toward you to make your player travel downward. Push right to go right. Push left to go left. The Keynesian robots are controlled by the computer. The brighter robots represent the lighter side of the economy like income, bull markets and successful investments. These robots are elusive and will try to run from you - but the more quickly you catch them, the more money you'll make. The darker robots represent the gloomier side of the economy - things like taxes, inflation and bear markets. They will try to catch you wherever you are in the maze. But the longer you stay away from them, the more money you'll keep. It's possible to find a hiding place in the maze where the darker robots can't find you. There are seven kinds of mazes. INCOME, REWARD and INVESTMENT offer you an opportunity to make money. EXPENSES, THIEF, TAXES and INFLATION will force deductions from your net worth unless you completely elude the robots during these maze sequences. The amount of money at stake in each maze will appear at the lower center of the screen. After a moment, the numbers will start decreasing. The dark robots will speed up and the brighter robots will slow down as the $ at stake decrease. The number on the screen at the instant you make contact with a robot will be automatically computed into your net worth. You will find that the Keynesian robots are small enough to maneuver freely through the mazes. But you are too tall to travel through some of the narrow passageways without ducking your head. You do this by pressing the action button on your hand control. It is harder to run in this position, so your player will only be going at two-thirds speed. If you do not press the action button when you make contact with a low ceiling in the maze, the computer will do it for you automatically, but you will only be able to run at half speed. The walls and ceilings of the maze contain a high energy charge. If any part of your player's body comes in contact with any part of the maze, you must break that contact before proceeding with your run. Department of Dirty Tricks! Once you make contact with a robot, it is good strategy to harass your opponent. If you touch your opponent and a part of the maze at the same time, your opponent will lose control of his player. Department of Economic Cooperation! If you and your opponent outmaneuver the robots and make them run into each other, they'll automatically return to their starting positions. You'll gain both time and money. The first player to achieve a net worth of more than one million dollars wins. The Keynesians will salute your triumph with a blast of electronic trumpets - and reward you with two tickets on the next time machine scheduled to make a stop in the Twentieth Century. Short games. You can play against the clock or with a goal of $750,000 instead of a million. Longer games. You can play for any dollar figure you choose. TAKE THE MONEY AND RUN has more than a trillion different maze combinations. It is theoretically possible to play night and day continuously for two thousand years without seeing the same maze twice! To play again, press the RESET key on the console and then press 1 on the alpha-numeric keyboard.

Dress warm. Press 1 on the alpha-numeric keyboard. Three different skiing competitions will be displayed alternately at the bottom of the screen. To select an event, pull the joy stick of either hand control towards you when the name of the event is on the screen. A computerized official will signal the start. Pull the joy stick toward you to head straight down the slopes. When you've had some practice, press the action button to get 30% greater downhill speed. Push the joy stick left to traverse left. Push the joy stick right to traverse right. Your traversing speed is one-half of your normal downhill speed. Push the joy stick away from you to come to a swirling christie stop. There are 55 gates in each event - the minimum allowed in the Olympic Slalom and Giant Slalom competitions. The computer can generate more than 65,000 different courses for each of the three events. You can ski over 195,000 different runs! Both players will ski matching courses for each event - even if one player should get a late start. If a skier hits a gate, time is lost getting back off the snow. If a skier goes off-course in any event, timing will be stopped and a count will be kept of the number of violations. THE DOWNHILL The winner is the skier making the run over the marked course in the shortest amount of time. If both skiers go off-course, the winner is the skier with the fewest violations. THE SLALOM You follow a twisting course defined by pairs of gates. A skier must go between every pair of gates of the same color but may do so from either side. (The colored gates will show up in different shades of gray on black and white TV.) The winner is the skier achieving the fastest aggregate time over two runs down different courses. The courses will change automatically after each run. THE GIANT SLALOM This event is longer that the Slalom and the gates are farther apart. Follow the Slalom rules for Giant Slalom competition. Combined Competitions A Combined competition represents the final result of several events. They can be similar. (Two Downhills - two Slaloms - etc.) They can be different. (A Downhill and a Slalom, etc.) A Combined Competition can also be any three races in any sequence. The "Triple Combined" is the result of a Downhill, A Slalom and a Giant Slalom in any sequence. The "Alpine Combined" is the result of one Downhill and one Slalom. The Downhill is run before the Slalom. TIMEKEEPING The computer will clock each skier's time within 1/10th of a second. To hold your score on the screen when you cross the finish line, push the joy stick forward to stop your skier before the word "FINISH" travels to the top of the screen. If both hand controls are in use, the winning time will be displayed at the center of the bottom of the screen in the winning skier's colors. This is the time to beat. It will remain there until it is replaced with a better time for the same event. If a skier goes off-course or misses a gate, the skier's current running time will be replaced by a count of the number of course violations. To ski the same event again, pull the joy stick toward you after both skiers cross the finish line. To change to a different event, press RESET AND THEN press 1.

Two titles are available in this cart: Bowling!: one to four players take turns in this game. The alley is shown from a top down view and the ball moves back and forth at the foul line. The players have to press the action button to release the ball and can add an effect to it by pressing left or right on the right hand controller. Each player gets two balls per frame, except in the case of a strike. A strike scores 30 points, a spare 15 points and an open play scores one point for each pin hit. There are two game modes, League Night (selected by pressing "1"), with a slower swinging ball, and Tournament Play (selected by pressing "2"), with a faster swinging ball. Basketball! (selected by pressing "3") features two players in a five minutes game. Each drop scores two points for the player. The player can move with the ball left or right, but must shoot within 8 seconds, or else the ball will automatically transfer to the other player. If the ball is shot while the other player is touching the ball, he will steal it. The player with more points when the clock reaches zero wins.

Connect 4 ring any bells, it should do, this game is a variation on the paper/pen classic 0X0 also, all you have to do to beat your opponent is simply out manoeuvre them in a strategy game of getting 4 of your colours in one row while blocking your opponent from doing the same.

In Shark Hunter the player controls an Eskimo protecting fish stocks from the attack of sharks. The Eskimo starts standing on a small island in the middle of the river. He must kill the sharks in the water by throwing harpoons at them. He can swim to the banks or to ice floes above and below the island. The sharks can eat the ice floes so it isn't safe for the Eskimo to stand on them for much time, or else he'll be eaten too. The fish are held by six rows of nets. The sharks will eat those nets to get the fish, and if an entire row is destroyed, more sharks will come from the sea. The Eskimo can repair the nets by swimming to the place where they were destroyed. The more nets destroyed, the less fish is kept. A stage will end when all sharks are killed. At the end of each stage the remaining fish will be counted and added to the player's score. As the game progresses, sharks become more abundant and destroy the nets faster. The game ends when the Eskimo gets eaten by a shark.

The players control four different types of heroes: the Warrior, who is armed with a sword; the Wizard, who can stun foes with his magic spells; the Phantom, who can walk through walls; and Changeling, who can turn invisible. They both embark on a quest against the nefarious minions of the Ringmaster, fighting against orcs, dragons, tarantulas, and vampiric pterodactyls in search for ten rings. The special thing about Quest for the Rings is the fact that it is a combination of board game and video game.

Press 1, 2, 3, or 4 on the alpha-numeric keyboard to correspond with the number of players. The first hole and an electronic golfer will appear on the screen. The number at the top right of the screen indicates the hole being played. The player's scores will appear at the top left of screen in order of play. The first player's score will be farthest left. The fourth player's score will be at the farthest right. If you are playing on a color TV, the color of your score will match the color of your electronic golfer. Once the ball is on the green (the lighter geometric segment of the course) the TV picture will automatically change to a close-up of the green so that the electronic golfer can putt out. The trees on the course are hazards and will stop the flight of the ball. A drive into the trees will elicit a very human reaction from the electronic golfers. The dark area outside the course is the "rough." A ball must be hit back on the course when it's in the "rough." The golfers cannot drive through the rough to get to the green. Each golfer plays through the entire hole before it is the next golfer's turn. Use the joy stick of the hand control units to walk the electronic golfers around the course. The left hand control is shared by players 1 and 3. The right hand control is shared by players 2 and 4. The direction of the joy stick controls the direction the electronic golfers will walk. They will walk in all vertical, horizontal and diagonal directions in accordance with the joy stick's position. The toe of the club must overlap the ball at the start of the backswing. The action button on the hand control unit controls the swing of the club. Press down to start the backswing. The longer you press the action button, the higher the backswing. The distance traveled by the ball is determined by the length of the backswing. If you bring the backswing full circle, the club will release automatically, and the distance the ball travels will be random. Release the action button to hit the ball. The backswing of the club will always be clockwise, and the downswing will always be counter-clockwise. The direction taken by the ball will be dependent on the golfer's position in relation to it. It will be perpendicular to the angle of the toe of the club when it makes contact with the ball. You can walk your electronic golfer away from the ball and take a practice swing to confirm direction. There is no stroke penalty for this. If you are addressing the ball and starting your backswing, but wish to change the position of your electronic golfer - simply walk him away from the ball and release the action button. There is no penalty The player with the lowest score for the nine holes is the winner. To play again, press the RESET key on the console and then press 1, 2, 3 or 4 on the alpha-numeric keyboard. COMPUTER GOLF! Nine holes. Par 36 Hole 1 - Par 4 Hole 2 - Par 4 Hole 3 - Par 3 Hole 4 - Par 4 Hole 5 - Par 5 Hole 6 - Par 3 Hole 7 - Par 4 Hole 8 - Par 5 Hole 9 - Par 4

This is some sort of a capture the flag game. Instead of a flag, the object is to capture the enemy general. Two armies share the screen, the Army of Northwestonia in the upper left corner and the Army of Southeasternia in the lower right corner. The players control the general of the army with the joystick. The robots in each army are controlled by the computer, and their mission is to capture the enemy general.

Three games are available in this compilation: Matchmaker! (selected by pressing "1") is a regular Memory game. A matrix with 20 letters appears on the screen and the player has to find pairs of symbols hidden by the letters. Two counters will be displayed: time and number of matches. In two players mode (selected by pressing "2"), the players share the matrix and the one who makes more matches win. Logix! (selected by pressing "4") lets the player guess a sequence of five different digits. The player types in the first try and the computer will display a two digit number with the number of correct digits to the right and the number of correctly placed digits on the left. The player has then to continue guessing the sequence based on the clues given. The object is to solve the problem in the least number of tries, counted on the left ot the screen. Buzzword! (selected by pressing "3") is similar to the Hangman game. A row of dashes will appear in the screen, representing a word. Also, eight X's will appear at the bottom of the screen. The player tries to guess the word at the screen by typing letters on the keyboard. If a letter is right, it is replaced in the word. If it is wrong, it replaces one X on the screen. The game ends when the player has discovered the word or when he has made eight mistakes.

In this pool title, two players can choose either one of the two games available: 8-ball or Rotation. The games are selected by pressing any direction of the joystick while their names are displayed on screen. In the 8-ball game, the winner is the first player to sink either one of the two black balls in game. In Rotation, the black balls are replaced by colored ones, and the winner is the player to sink the most balls. By sinking one ball, the player gets the chance to try another shot. There are no penalties for missing the balls or sinking the white one. Players can choose the direction of the shot (by rotating the cue around the white ball) and the strength of the shot (the longer the action button is pressed, the harder the shot is).

Scattered throughout the maze are boxes with question marks on them. When the player walks over a question mark, a baby turtle crawls onto the main turtle's back, a house will appear at a random location on the map, and the player will have to bring the baby turtle to its house while avoiding beetles. Other times, however, beetles will come out of the boxes, which the player will have to quickly run away from. The player's only offensive move is the ability to drop bombs (which behave more like mines) to temporarily stun the beetles. Additional bombs can be picked up in the middle of the maze. Each maze represents a floor of the building. After eight floors, there's a cutscene showing the baby turtles following their rescuer out of the building, and gameplay begins again on the ground floor.

In Loony Balloon, the player controls a kid carrying a swaying balloon crossing a playground. To get out of the playground, he must reduce the balloon's sway, or it will burst when he crosses the exit.

Join this true olympic skeet competition, testing your skill! As the name implies, Clay Pigeon! is a clay pigeon shooting game. At the left corner, a trap launches targets toward the shooter. The player controls the shooter which stands in the right corner of the screen.

Two titles are available in this cart: - Catch the Ball puts one or two players in the role of a circus clown who has to catch a while ball which comes rolling down a maze of obstacles. The clown has to try to follow the ball as it falls its unpredictable path. A time limit of three "game minutes" is counted down and the player with more balls caught by the end of the time wins. The joystick is used to move the clown left or right and the "action" button accelerates his movements. There are 6 possible variations, with the players taking turns after each ball caught, taking turns after each miss or in a single player mode, with the time limit on or off for each mode. - Noughts and Crosses is also known as tic-tac-toe. Players move a "+" cursor over the 9 square matrix and place either blue noughts or red squares. The first to get three symbols in a straight line wins. If all six symbols have been placed and there's no winner, they can be removed by placing the cursor over and pressing the action button and then be replaced.
