So off went Daisy to get some cherries from her cupboard and there were none to be seen! "Pogie's pinched the cherries!" she cried, as she saw Pogie's pawprint in the cupboard. "That darned fluffle. Come here you!" and Pogie promptly darted off into the enchanted forest to escape Daisy's rage.

Sensitive is a puzzle game released in 1991 for the Commodore 64. The player controls a small square, navigating it across a grid of tiles. The challenge lies in the fact that some of the tiles disappear after being stepped on, and the objective is to reach the exit without falling off the grid. The game requires careful planning and strategic movement, as each level increases in difficulty with more complex tile patterns and obstacles. Its minimalistic yet challenging design paired with its great music has made Sensitive a memorable classic for C64 fans.

The Lynx title based on the Keanu Reeves/Alex Winter film franchise actually takes place after the second film, Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey. Out for revenge after being humiliated by the high-school duo, Death kidnaps their "medieval babe" girlfriends from the first film, and drags them throughout history. Luckily, the girls are able to leave behind pages of the band's latest song as a trail for Bill and Ted to follow.
Playing as either Bill or Ted (with a friend able to take control of the other character over ComLynx), the player must search historical periods in an overhead perspective and collect enough musical notes to open travel to a new area. Along the way, they can encounter historical figures who will offer assistance in return for a favor. Bad guys do populate the levels, but can be pacified with a rippin' guitar solo. If Bill or Ted are defeated, they simply reappear back at the last checkpoint.
Other items can be found and collected in an inventory. The Lynx title makes use of the series' interestin

Ishido is a puzzle board game consisting of a set of 72 stones and a game board of 96 squares. The primary objective of Ishido is to place all 72 stones onto the board of 96 squares.

Revelation is an abstract puzzle game based around cracking codes on safes. Each of the 80-plus levels is a top-down view of an arrangement of locks and dials, which must be aligned so as to unlock each section by having identical colors touching each other. Not all locks can be moved however, and all of this must be done within a time-limit. Your time to collect the gold (by opening each of the 9 doors in sequence in the hope of finding lots of bling) is limited by how long you took to crack the code. There is a bonus game to unlock, as well as extra lives and special power-ups. A password system ensures that a level need only be cleared once.
