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 C7010 is a Chess Module for the Videopac. Due to Videopac's hardware limitations, the Chess Module has extra CPU and memory to make the console have enough power to run the game. The module is connected to the console by a dummy cartridge. The game displays the board on screen and asks the player the color which he or she wants to play with. Depending on the choice, the board will have the numbers 1 to 8 shown at the left side in crescent or decrescent order. The game has 6 levels of difficulty, each corresponding to how many moves ahead the computer can predict (1 move to 6 moves). The game is played using the keyboard to input the coordinates for the movements, using the coordinate notation, i.e., the player enters the letter and number corresponding to the square of origin and to the square of destination

In this exciting Odyssey Adventure, you are Peeno, a fearless archer who must face the dangers of the feared Tamiel Forest to save Princess Bia, who was taken to the center of the forest to serve as an offering to evil spirits to fulfill an ancient curse.

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.

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!

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!!!

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.

Power Lords is a game released for the Odyssey 2. It is based on the toy line from the 1980s that bears this name. To start the game, press 1 on the keyboard. You have just arrived at Volcan Rock - an artificial planetoid defended by a laser-eyed space serpent and other minions of the evil Extra-Terrestrial Alliance! Use the joystick of the right hand control to fly the space sled. Press the action button to fire your lasers. Warning! Your space sled can be destroyed by falling lava, rocks, contact with the space serpent's body or a blast from it laser eyes. Gryptogg, Raygoth and Arkus of the Extra-Terrestrial Alliance, will periodically open doors in the volcano to fire a gravitational ray. The higher your score, the stronger the artificial gravity fields will become and the more likely you will be drawn to your doom. Direct hits of your lasers will stun the space serpent and destroy falling rocks. You can defeat the gravitational ray by blasting the door in the volcano. SCORING: - Blasting lava during volcanic eruption: 3 points - Stunning the space serpent: 15 points - Hitting an open door: 45 points - Destroying lava rock: 75 points - Surviving a volcanic eruption: 1000 points The score of your current game appears at the lower right of your screen. The high score in a series of games will appear at the lower left of your screen. Two question marks request the initials of the high scoring player. The high scoring player enters his or her initials through the keyboard. The high score and the high scoring player's initials will remain on the screen until a higher score is achieved in succeeding games. To start a new scoring round press RESET and then press 1.

Red Baron it's a flight simulator for the Magnavox Odyssey 2.

The second of the CSV Video-Traffic Games. The CSV Video-Traffic Games Edition of the G7000 was given to primary schools in a small region of West Germany. The package consisted of a G7000 and two special games -- Verkehrsspiele 1 and Verkehrsspiele 2 -- that were used to teach children how to behave on the street. The console set is nothing more than a repackaging of a regular Philips G7000. The package comes with a special "Video-Traffic Games" sticker affixed to the TV screen depicted by the box art. It contains a regular G7000, the two games, and some documentation. The first volume of the traffic games was also given away to members of the German Commander-ROM club as Videopac "V," and retitled Kinder im Verkehr 1 (Kids in Traffic 1). The manual claims that Videopac V was the first of a series of new learning games aimed at kids 6 to 14 years old. From this, one might surmise that "Kinder im Verkehr 2" was planned for release, but no copies have been found. In all forms, the traffic games are quite rare, with Videopac V being a bit less difficult to find than the Verkehrsspiele games.

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.

Two titles are available in this cart: - Out of This World! is a slightly upgraded version of Space Rendezvous. It is somewhat similar to Lunar Lander. - Helicopter Rescue! has the player in control of the Daredevil helicopter rescue ship. The object is to rescue the most people from the Doomsday Hotel's rooftop within two minutes and place them in the Rescue Station.

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

Press 1 on the alpha-numeric keyboard. You are now in command of the star fighter CENTURION and a legendary hero of the Earth Federation! The sighting instrumentation for your laser starburster is at the center of your screen. The number 15 at the lower left corner of the screen represents the number of enemy invasion transports, battle frigates and star fighters to be destroyed in this action. This number will decrease by one every time a direct hit is scored. The number at the lower right of your screen represents the quantums of energy units in your fuel receptors. These energy units are expressed in megajoules. You will start your mission with 1000 megajoules. One megajoule per second is used to sustain flight. A laser burst uses ten megajoules of energy. If an enemy star fighter comes within range and fires, fifty megajoules of energy are required to activate your deflector shields. The objective of your mission is to destroy all 15 units in the enemy fleet using the least number of megajoules. Maneuver your star fighter with the joy stick on the right hand control unit. Pull it towards you to ascend. Push it away from you to descend. Push right to go right. Push left to go left. When you have an enemy ship in your sights, fire your lasers by pressing the action button. Only one enemy ship will appear on the screen at a time. When an enemy Imperial star fighter flashes in from hyperspace, a general ALERT will sound and flash on the screen. It is important to fix the ship in your sights quickly and fire before he comes within his own firing range and costs you energy units necessary to activate your deflector shields. The star fighters will come at you from a variety of angles. It is safer strategy to outmaneuver the ones that come at you from diagonals. They require very sophisticated precision tracking. You will save megajoules by firing at those that come head-on or appear in more easily tracked vertical and horizontal courses. You can take evasive action from a star fighter only by climbing or diving to get the ship completely off-screen. If you go right or left, the fighter will continue to follow you. There are five enemy star fighters to protect the ten enemy invasion transports and battle frigates. The engagement will terminate when all of the enemy fleet have been destroyed - or when your fuel receptors have been drained of energy units. Star Command will contact you with new orders after each action. To play again, press the RESET key on the console and then press 1 on the alpha-numeric keyboard. Good hunting!

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.

A completely new and updated rendition of Ralph Baer's prototype Pinball!, featuring enhanced graphics, multiple table layouts and more! As well as including the original game, it also adds a new two-player version.
