Spy vs. Spy: Arctic Antics
Spy vs. Spy: Arctic Antics (also known as Spy vs. Spy III: Arctic Antics)[10] was the third game in the series, and switched the location from a tropical island to the frozen wastes of the Arctic. The spies fought by means of throwing snowballs at each other and setting traps, which decreased their body heat bar. Tools the spies used included a saw which allowed a hole to be cut in the ice for the second player to fall into and lose body heat. Lost body heat could be restored by moving into an igloo with a heater inside.
Poster Paster is an arcade game by Taskset from 1984. In the role of a laborious paster Bill Stickers the player tries in 12 images to paste poster advertisement to billboards under more and more difficult conditions. At the same time he is hindered by aggressive gnomes (halluncinations from breathing the vapours from the dissolver??).
"Gnurds", "Wazzocks" and "Brain Drains" try to get him with meanier and meanier methods and don't stop until the hero finally buys the farm or better the pasting brush.
This is Space Invaders, but with a few twists and turns. For one thing, the aliens won't move down after completely moving across the screen, they have their own behavior. This game involves retro arcade gaming, with a twist of psychedelic aural (thumping trance) and visual stimulation.
You have been transported to a void by the alien mothership. Your mission is to battle wave after wave against the RGB invaders. The darker the aliens are, the weaker they will become. The lighter the aliens, the more hits they will require. You must blast away through 40 different stages. Shoot orange aliens for random power ups. Purple/Magenta aliens give out extra lives.These will be lost if a life is lost, or the power up has timed out.
As the Mad Doctor, you decide you'd like to build yourself a monster. To do this you must find body parts for your monster. To get these you can dig up graves or stealthily attack lone walkers late at night and beat the stuffing out of them. Then you take them back to your castle and either finish them off or lock them in your little dungeon until you're ready to 'request' their assistance in your endeavor.
Finally, when you've found choice parts for your monster, you must take him to stonehenge (cliché alert) and have him struck by lightning to come to life. The residents of the village are not especially impressed by your idea and will attempt to stop you.
Unlock the dark side of your psyche, turn the lights down low, put on a maniac-type laugh and go build yourself a monster.
They are hunters of supernatural beings, ghosts, demons and evil spirits. Join Trev and Georg as they fight their way through dark places with guns and demonic powers. Are you man enough to send the evil back to hell? Well, don't just sit there, grab your shotgun and get going!

Quadpawn is a short chess-like puzzle game where you and your opponent both control four pawns. These pawns move with the same rules as chess pawns. Multiple rounds can be played and tally of the score is kept for all rounds played.
The goal of the game is to try to get one of your pawns to the starting row of your opponent's pawns. The player loses a round if a black pawn reaches the player's starting row or if the pawns are locked up in such a way that doesn't allow anyone to move.
Double Sphere is a sports game set in space played between two players. One of the players can be a CPU controlled opponent.
The game takes place on a single screen with two 'goals' moving up and down vertically on opposite ends of the screen. The goal is to grab the sphere and move it into your opponent's goal in order to score.
Somewhere in the middle of the huge forest is an ancient castle. Local people tell of strange creatures that guard vast treasures hidden within the castle, though since no-one who has dared to venture inside has ever returned it's difficult to know how much is fact and how much speculation.
Not too far away from the castle is a small cottage which you may as well use as your base. Though now uninhabited remains in good repair, cared for by the villagers who regard it as a sort of shrine. With luck you may find there some items that will help you in your quest.
This program loads in three parts, but all you need to do is place the rewound cassette in your tape deck, then tap RUN/STOP while holding down one of the SHIFT keys. The screen will be blank whilst each section loads -- this is quite normal.
Adventure programs offer you a chance to pit your wits against the ingenuity of the author. By instructing the computer to do things (move, examine objects, take objects etc) you must attempt to score as many points a
All crackers are catched by the cruel software-firms, and your mission is to find 6 keys, and rescue the crackers. You may not touch the flowers and the mines. Press spacebar to die. You get the bonus every time you take a key.
This version of the classic board game supports several graphic formats and offers some different options. From 2 to 8 players can play the game, and they can all be computer players if you wish. This allows you to just sit back and watch as the computer takes over. You can choose to play a short game with a specified time limit, or a standard game, and there is a save game feature.
All actions are handled entirely by keyboard. Questions appear in the center area of the board (for buying property, for instance). Pressing the first letter of a word from the top bar takes that action (Q for Quit as an example). Player stats can be viewed on the screen.
In this logical game you have to move a sphere around cogs to collect a formula in the correct order. To move between cogs you press the space bar at the point they meet. Holding down W will allow you to move the opposite way the cog is moving but here you move slower, releasing W allows you to travel faster the way the cog is moving. Some cogs have baddies on them and you must time your transfer to it without being hit by it.
On the screen you see a small part of the game area. As well as the main playing area you can also see your score, lives, level and parts of the formula collected.
Superbike Challenge brings 1000cc motorbikes to life for a one or two player race. Unusually, the screen is split horizontally, with your action only ever using half of the screen. You can play a full season of races, or run at one of the 12 tracks as a stand-alone race (including Assen, Mugello, the old Hockenheim and Spa). A manual gearbox option and 3 skill levels ensure that you can't master the game immediately. Full information on your speed and revs, the race order and course layout are on screen at all times.
Superbike Challenge is an updated version of Grand Prix 500 cc, with a better menu and title screen and some different in-game graphics.
Vincent Ratatoui isn't nice - EDAM well stole the world's cheeses, and did a GOUDA job of it, making the world a GRUYERE place. Tai-Chi Tortoise goes EMMENTAL, and sets off to retrieve it all. He must travel CAERPHILY through over 100 screens of platform and ladders action, but he's no BABYBEL, and his martial arts training makes him FETA than most, so it can be done.
Plenty of objects must be collected en route, and put to use - things such as a spade and jump shoes. Some of the ledges can be stood on, while others disappear when you stand on them (though they all regenerate if you leave and re-enter the screen)
The intro shows us Iraqi terrorists breaking into an U.N. military camp escaping with the stockpile. Now it's the turn of the British agents Agaippa and Dausus to catch the terrorists and secure the stockpile.
This is a classical "Drive & Shoot" game. You are controlling a red sports car, driving down a narrow road, shooting every car on the road while trying to avoid the enemy's gunfire and various obstacles on the road (The story tells us, it's a chase through hazardous countries like Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Thailand, South Africa and more).
The difficulty increases from stage to stage. While in the first stages there is almost no hostile activity almost all cars will start shooting you on sight later in the game. Even worse, there are helicopters and jets going to attack you too. Various obstacles on the road will make it harder to keep the upper hand on the street. These obstacles range from cones, to mines and even rather large rocks. Finally there are various intersections where always one will lead into a dead
Vultures is an original (?) shoot'em'up with a slight Galaga flavour. Above your spaceship hangs a nest of space-vultures. One after one, they come down to shoot at you. Unlike Galaga, they don't wrap at the end of the screen, instead they "bounce" back and forth across it. Mind the vulture's course, because otherwise you might find yourself trapped in a corner with the inevitable collision as only way out. A good tactic to ameliorate your chances is to dodge the vulture's bullets and concentrate your fire on its mates that are left hanging above. When all the vultures are killed, their eggs start to hatch and spawn similarly devious creatures. Shoot them down, and you have passed the first level.
Vultures has three speed settings and runs in medium resolution with a green background.
Spooks is an action-adventure game where the goal is to collect eight musical boxes and play them at the exit. The game is set in and around a large mansion which is haunted by four ghosts against which you can defend by throwing large or heavy objects at. Around the mansion there are many rooms and many items whose function you need to figure out in order to complete the game. Adding to the suspense is the need to be on alert for the ghosts as they move quite fast and also that when in inventory menu you only get a short time to make your decisions.
