Schreckenstein

Schreckenstein is a platform maze game designed to be played by two players, with each player's surroundings shown in either the top or bottom half of the screen. If a single player is selected, the computer operates the second player. In each level, the players must traverse the maze collecting health elixirs and level specific objects while avoiding spooks, bats, spiders and miscellaneous traps. Each player can throw a weapon to dispatch their enemies. On each level, the collected objects are either used to activate sites or give them to a white sorcerer for use. When enough have been collected, a key appears somewhere, and once collected this allows the door to the next level to be opened. For the first level, the players collect torches and use them to activate giant skulls. On the second level, gems are collected for the white sorcerer, who appears randomly and infrequently as a ghostly apparition. On the third level, tokens must be deposited into magical wells. On the fourth level, the player must again coll747 Landing Simulator

Barge

Mississippi has been hit by a deadly storm, leaving many boaters stranded. You control the more powerful SS Commodore, and must boat through these hazardous waters and rescue as many of these as possible. This involves travelling up a succession of screens, each of which has one person to rescue, while avoiding static rocks and debris. The screen layouts each time are random, so it is not always possible or safe to rescue the boater. You start a screen in the horizontal position you exited the previous one, so a central exit maximises your chances on the next screen. Other boats travel horizontally across the screen - contact with these results in losing a life. A tap of the fire button gives you a quick boost of speed, useful for avoiding hazards.Getaway!
