Rocketball is based on the futuristic sports movie Rollerball, released in 1975. The computer game is similar to Roller Derby in that two teams on roller skates travel counter-clockwise around a banked, circular track. The object of the game is to score points by throwing a softball-sized metal ball into a cone-shaped goal target inset into the wall of the arena. Balls are fired into play, in the same direction players skate, by cannons when play begins and to restart play after the ball rolls out of play or a goal is scored.
Can you make it back to base through unchartered enemy territory? You can speed up or slow down and the faster you go the higher you jump. You have guns on the front and rear of the Jeep to explode enemy grenades and mega firebombs. Use the ramps to travel on the upper platforms. You must negotiate the long cavern avoiding the roof and grenades.

Acid Runner is a variant of famous Lode Runner. The game is all about timing and proper usage of ladders and ropes while avoiding all the enemies and obstacles. The protagonist needs to collect all items scattered out over the levels and reach the escape doors before the time runs out. The task is complicated by numerous enemies roaming around which should be avoided and various electrical discharges. The only way to get rid of a guard is to make a hole in the ground, which may be used as temporary prison. After a certain amount of time a hole is filled up and the guard regains freedom.
The game features 30 levels.
Behead your way through the levels of a mysterious world ruled by the Wizard Aroon. This game has a nice idea, you have to bump boulders in from below with your helmet on your head, but the gameplay is unfair, in some situations it's just luck, a good idea changed into a frustrating game. Then on the other hand it is easily possible to leech endless score in the bonus round. Not good. Move joystick left/right on title screen to toggle 1/2 player mode.
In Clystron you control a walker-like cyborg on its mission to find eight machine parts. The parts must be collected in the correct order. Whenever a part is found, a new transporter destination is unlocked. All parts must be found within a time limit of 15 minutes in order to complete the game.
The game is a very basic platformer with rather weired controls. You can only shoot or jump while walking. Moreover, you keep walking in one direction until you press the joystick down, which feels very odd in the beginning and makes the game quite hard to play.
Clystron was originally released for the C64 and later ported to the Commodore Amiga. Especially the C64 version was lauded for its great music and graphics.
In 2013, Bruno R. Marcos released a spiritual successor to the Bruce Lee game on his website. The game was called Bruce Lee II.

It also featured sampled sound from the 1984 Bruce Lee game in addition to some new ones.
Number Builder is an single screen educational platformer to help you improve your maths over twelve levels. You play the role of a builder who must move around a building site, climbing ladders, looking for sums to make a target number. You are given a starting number and you must pick up sums to add or subtract from that number to make the target number. Each level is split into three different target numbers and each must be completed before a bucket is lifted to the top of the screen. Once a level is completed you get paid money before attempting the next level.
Before you play the game you can select your starting level as well as your builder who vary in different speeds. There is also a Self Test where you choose a level of difficulty and attempt to give the correct answers to ten sums before receiving a score.
