Pikiinya! takes the Tetris-esque formula of blocks falling from the sky, and adds gyrating tropical-type penguins. They excite easily, and sleep when they are alone and/or bored. These penguins just want to live in peace, and throughout the story mode in the game they must constantly fight against people that want to capture them including poachers, witch doctors, and mad scientists.

Cookie and Bibi 3 is a clone of the Puzzle Bobble series developed by Semicom in 1997. In this game, the player controls a cannon which shoots different sorts of bricks, each one representing some sort of food.

To clear a stage and go to the next one, the player has to destroy every brick present at the beginning before they accumulate to a certain state. The game has several game modes : The main game is playable with one or two players helping each other ; a versus game mode is also available. This game has two prequels: Cookie and Bibi and Cookie and Bibi 2.
Much like the game Breakout, the player controls the "Vaus", a space vessel that acts as the game's "paddle" which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field, attempting to bounce it against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear. When all the bricks are gone, the player goes to the next level, where another pattern of bricks appear. There are a number of variations (bricks that have to be hit multiple times, flying enemy ships, etc.) and power-up capsules to enhance the Vaus (expand the Vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level, etc.), but the gameplay remains the same.
SMASH! POW! CRUNCH! Is your hand/eye coordination up to demolishing field after field of bricks? Breakout 2000 brings back the nostalgia of early gaming days but adds 90's challenges, such as a three-dimensional field and bricks that resist breaking, as well as many powerups and hazards. You can also test your skill against a buddy. Break through your own wall and start working on his. You'll gain bonus points, and he'll go nuts! Who ever said life was fair never played Breakout 2000.
