Blow up sand dunes (doons) with your cannon! Note the color of the doon loaded into your cannon, then use the joystick to position your cannon above the doons you want to clear, and press the trigger to shoot your doon. If you shoot your doon into doons of the same color, the doons will explode. Every now and then, a color-changing bomb will appear to the left of the playfield. If you move the cannon next to the bomb and shoot, it will explode all of the doons of the matching color. Keep playing until the doons overwhelm you!Bonk'em

Can you feed the hungry snek and avoid corruption? smol snek is a small snake game for the Atari 8bit computers. Your playing style affects the chance for snek to get corrupted by food. Earn bonus score by picking up food guaranteed to not corrupt snek. Corruption can spawn bad food, grow snek, make the play field shake or melt in with the background. Avoid corruption long enough to unlock the secret level! The game has been tested on a PAL Atari 600XL expanded to 64K, and an PAL Atari 130XE. The game should work fine on NTSC machines, and the snek speed is adapted to be the same on both variants to make high score table fair.StarRunner

It is a time of war in your galaxy. Your people, the Atarians, defend against constant attacks from the Commodorians. Due to circumstances beyond your control (a fixed lottery), it has been decided that you, Rom Antic, must deliver vital details to a secret base hidden deep in a safe part of your galaxy. You hop into your aging ship, the Pokey Cruiser, and take off with no time to spare. Unfortunately, the shortest path to the base is blocked by 10 waves of deadly asteroids and mines. Your rather BASIC laser can only dispatch the smallest asteroids, so you will need to rely heavily on evasive maneuvers to dodge your way through all 10 waves and safely reach your goal. Good luck! Atarians in the galaxy are counting on you!Runner Bear

U235 is a puzzle board game. The game starts when Galactic Federation sends a secret agent to the planet Umhar. The aim is to neutralize the nuclear threat. To accomplish the mission the player must join together simultaneously two or more of the same elements indicated on the right side of the screen. The element moves in the indicated direction until it is stopped by another element or the edge of the board. The player may use many useful elements, such as mirrors (reflecting laser beam), bombs or detonators (destroying various barriers). However certain elements should not be brought into contact, for example the ball smashes the mirror and the bomb blows up if collides with the board edge.
