Gridiron! is a sports video game developed by Bethesda Softworks and published by Electronic Arts in 1986. The project was led by Bethesda founder Christopher Weaver and lead programmer Ed Fletcher. Their objective was to create a sports simulation game with a physics-based engine. The game was developed on a low budget, with the development team creating the necessary tools and engine themselves.
Electronic Arts handled the marketing and distribution of Gridiron! as part of an agreement for Bethesda to develop a licensed John Madden football game. In 1988, Bethesda filed a $7.3 million lawsuit against Electronic Arts, claiming that EA had ceased distribution of Gridiron! to incorporate its features into their Madden title. The lawsuit was ultimately settled out of court. By 1989, Gridiron! had sold nearly 20,000 units. The game was also included in Amiga World's list of the "40 Best Games of All Time."
This is a side-scrolling shoot-'em-up, in the style of Gradius. You play as a helicopter gunship, and when you enter a building as a spaceman(who can shoot in eight directions).
Interestingly, you can manually scroll up and down as the game scrolls right, but cannot scroll backwards. Destroyed enemies leave power-ups (improving your firepower), smart-bombs which trigger on collecting them, and floppy disks which you must collect to win the game.
Another factor is your oxygen level, which shows as an air meter at the bottom (you can gain more air through each stage). There are end-of-level bosses.
Learn basic math skills with Number Munchers. Keep your Muncher away from the Troggles by munching on multiples, factors, prime numbers, equalities, and inequalities. If you can stay away from the Troggles and earn enough points, you'll be part of the Muncher Hall of Fame.
Adult-themed Japanese arcade mahjong by Nichibutsu. Released in the mid-1980s; known via arcade flyer/listings and preserved in arcade databases. A direct sequel, Crystal Gal II Mahjong, followed in 1986
In spite of its title, the game has little to do with the famous movie Casablanca beyond a few loose references. It is a text adventure with graphics, in which the player types text commands to interact with the environment. Several useful commands (including Look, Search, Take and Knock) can be accessed directly through function keys. Limited navigation between screens can be performed with directional arrows.
