Revs is a 1984 Formula Three simulation written initially for the BBC Micro by Geoff Crammond and is notable for its realistic simulation of the sport and as a precursor to its author's later work on Formula One Grand Prix and its sequels.
A Lunar Rescue style game where you must drift down through floating asteroids, rescue six astronauts from the surface and return each to the safety of your mothership.
Run through the creepy mansion dodging ghostly ghouls and bouncing spiders. Leap over poison-smeared spikes, scamper along moving platforms and contracting floorboards, and use powerful springs to propel you onto overhanging ledges. Four screens.
The action takes place inside the warehouse owned by Uncle Claude of “Sincrum Research". You are Freddy, a young employee of Uncle Claude. There is a rumour spreading around, among the workers, that Uncle Claude is secretly going to increase the prices of his products which might meana the loss of jobs.

Also Claude has hired the services of Satsuma Inc, who
throw oracs from the roof - you’d better watch out for those too!!! You can make your task ea
Dam Busters is an early flight simulation, set in World War II. It focuses on Dam Busters who historically were used to heavily bombard strategic objectives, in this case dams.
This task is not easy, as en route you will face heavy opposition forces. Fortunately, you won't be a sitting bomber in the air. Your aircraft is equipped with machine guns (left and right) with unlimited rounds of fire power, so fire at will as the enemy approaches.
When the time comes, you will have to bomb the target manually. So, get ready to unload the cargo and give them hell!
The player takes part in the ten events of the modern decathlon:
Day 1: 100 metres, Long jump, Shot putt, High jump, 400 metres
Day 2: 110 hurdles, Pole vault, Discus, Javelin, 1500 metres
The player starts the game with three lives; failure to reach the minimum standard in an event results in the loss of one life. Success in the 1500 Meters event results in the game returning to Day 1 to repeat the events with more difficult qualification criteria.
Running is simulated by hitting two keys (representing the left and right leg) alternately and as quickly as possible. The game rapidly gained a reputation amongst players as a "joystick killer" because of the constant vigorous waggling of the joystick required during many of the events.
The story has the solar system under threat from Myon invaders. MAT ("Mission: Alien Termination") is a teenager implanted with all the combined tactical skills of the planetary leaders. MAT pilots a prototype spacecraft, the USS Centurion, in an attempt to defend the system from the alien's all-out attack.[6]
The game's action takes place in a realtime 3D representation of MAT's view from the ship. The player has access to forward and rear views, which switch automatically if the tracking computer is active. Threats come in the form of Myon Fighters which engage the player immediately, Cruisers which only engage at short range, and Starbases which also attack immediately but withdraw when their shields are damaged.[6]
The player's ship can suffer damage. If the Centurion's energy is reduced to zero, it is destroyed and the game ends. The ships instruments, engines and weapons can also be damaged; these can be repaired if the ship docks at a planet.[6]
You follow a distress call on the planet Prolon from a group of explorers. After landing you have to find their life pod and and bring it back to your ship.
Jim the Cabin Boy must make his way below decks to collect
various items of booty (automatically picked up when he walks
past it) strewn around the ship.
When you have collected all the items from the Black Galleon's
20 holds, you will be given 45 seconds to locate the Bronze key
to the next pile of booty. Clearing all booty a second and third
(impossible!) time causes a search for the Silver and Gold keys,
each increasing the game's speed and hazards.
Jim will meet an untimely death if he falls through a trap door,
drowns, is bitten by a ship's rat, or pecked by one of the Captain's
parrots, or cut down by a Ghost Pirate, or blown up (some
pieces of booty are booby-trapped to step lively, mates) or
steps through a hold door into mid-air (heh! heh!)
Intelligence reports that we have cracked a Japanese coded message. They plan to attack Midway Island and trap and destroy our naval fleet. We have dispatched Task Force 16, with carriers Enterprise and Hornet, and Task Force 17, with carrier Yorktown, to counter these plans. Good luck, gentlemen.
You are in command of the two task forces of the Pacific fleet and must destroy or drive off the Japanese carrier divisions. Do not let them take the island of Midway. You have to personally man the guns when the island or task force are attacked. As planes swoop in, shoot them down until they are gone or your gun is destroyed. We're all counting on you, sailor!
Amsgolf is a computer simulation game of an 18 hole golf course. The main object of the game is to play the course of 18 holes in as few strokes as possible thus improving your handicap.
Airwolf, an advanced supersonic helicopter with stealth capabilities and a formidable arsenal, was designed by Dr. Charles Henry Moffet (David Hemmings) - a genius with a psychopathic taste for torturing and killing women - and built by the Firm, a division of the CIA (a play on the term "the Company", a nickname for the CIA). As the series begins, Dr. Moffet and his crew steal Airwolf during a live-fire weapons test. During the theft, Moffet opens fire on the Firm's bunker, killing a United States Senator and seriously injuring Firm deputy director Michael Coldsmith-Briggs III (codename "Archangel"). Moffet takes the gunship to Libya, where he begins performing acts of aggression - such as sinking an American destroyer - as a service for military strongman Muammar Gaddafi, who allows Moffet to keep Airwolf on Libyan soil.
