You play Lupin, a character who is trying to get money for his sweetheart. You try to take up to two of the six bags from the top and get them to the bottom without getting caught by an enemy. If an enemy gets too close or you are surrounded you can teleport, but there is no telling where you will end up -- you could end up in a worse spot than the one you escaped from!
After you have gotten all six money bags, you go to meet your sweetheart, but she tells you to get her more money and you proceed to the next level. If you lose all your lives you will be shown being dragged off to jail.
Quasar Commander is an exciting game of skill to play on your TRS-80 color computer. You are at the helm of a Starship. Imagine that your video screen is a window looking into outerspace. Your laser sights are in the center of this "viewscreen". Try to destroy as many enemy ships as possible before colliding with them. This game contains variations for countless hours of fun.
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 mov

A full size tournament soccer table appears on your screen. The scoring rack is at the bottom.
The left hand control controls the goalkeeper at the left side of the screen and the other members of the team who wear the same colors.
The right hand control controls the goalkeeper at the right side of the screen as well as the other members of the team.
You can play against another player or the computer. Press the action button or move the joystick of the hand control to tell the computer how many people are in the game. If one of the hand controls is not activated, the computer will play that side and a "C" will appear on the scoring rack. If neither hand control is activated, the computer will play itself.
Each joystick controls three sets of electronic lightning rods that maneuver the ranks of players.
Push the joystick of the left hand control to the left to control the goalkeeper. When the joystick is in the center position, it will control the center file of three te
With this cartridge you become the captain of a space cruiser that combats enemy spaceships and docks at a space station. The program can be played alone or with one opponent.
Zero Hour is a top view shooter where you control a spacecraft in multiple directions and try to blast and destroy three alien ships at the top of the screen. As you blast them, you will encounter meteors falling down the screen which can be avoided or shot, and other alien ships dropping bombs. If you hit a meteor, alien ship or its bombs then you lose one of three lives. Once the three aliens have been destroyed and the screen cleared of meteors and aliens then you move to a bonus screen. Your ship falls down the screen and you have to land on a landing pad for a bonus score. Two players can play and each player takes it in turns when the other player is killed.
In the first part of each wave, space monsters descend from the top of the screen towards your ship, dropping bombs as they go. If they reach the bottom of the screen, they will start hopping towards your spacepod if they catch your spacepod, they'll eat it. In these rounds, your spacepod fires in three directions simultaneously straight up, and 45 degrees to either side. The eight types of monsters shown in the score table attack in the order shown for the first eight waves (i.e. wave 1 is all 100-point monsters, wave 2 is all 200-point monsters, etc.) wave nine is a mass attack of all eight types, and waves ten and up are randomly-chosen from the first nine types. Each space monster round contains a total of 25 monsters, though only eight will be on the screen at any one time.
The second half of the wave starts out with a spinning space ring that drifts around the screen, growing in size if you shoot it, it splits into two smaller rings that go off in different directions and start growing again. If any ring rea
Fracas is Stuart Smith's very first game, using the game system which would later develop into Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves and ultimately Adventure Construction Set. Like those games, it is combat-oriented turn-based RPG and one of its main features is the large numbers of characters, both good and bad, that can get involved in the battles at once. You may control one or more characters in the game, and move them about fighting bad guys and gaining treasures.

An early and rare role-playing game released for the TRS-80 and Apple II in 1980. Contrary to the sequels this entry in the Maces and Magic series was just a teaser and therefore much shorter than its follow-ups.
