An arcade shoot-'em-up which flips Defender by 90 degrees. You fly your ship through various waves of different types of enemy ships similar to those found in Defender - i.e. there is a baiter-type, pods, swarmers, landers (except that they don't land). There is also an added feature of an energy balloon; blast this twelve times and your firepower is increased. Your armament initially consists of a Defender style laser system. A function carried over from the sequel to Defender - Stargate - has also been included, inviso-flight. This makes you temporarily invisible and immune to enemy attack. The ship can go in four directions, and re-trace its steps to get an enemy that has been missed. You also have a long range radar scope to see what's coming up, and what's been left behind.
Explore Chichen-Itza and collect various treasures while avoiding enemies that become invisible and be sure to light torches before the light goes out completely and kills you.
Master Break is a snooker themed quiz game that can be played by up to four players. In a single player game the aim is to get the highest break (up to a maximum of 147) while the multi player game is simply about getting the highest score. The player starts with a red ball question and the player has to answer by choosing one of three alternatives before time runs out. After that the player can choose between balls of different colours with different subjects. There are six categories of questions: science & nature, pop music, geography, sports & pastimes, art and history. Each player can pass up to three red questions. In a multi player game an "over pocket" sign might appear and answering wrong will then lead to a foul shot. Foul shots lead to the opponents being awarded points.

Repton Infinity is as much a development tool as it is a game. Its predecessor Repton 3 included a level and graphics editor but Infinity takes it one step further with Reptol, a scripting language that allows the user to alter the behaviour of characters and objects. This means that the user can not only create new Repton levels but also completely new games. Four games are included to demonstrate the tools:
- Repton 3: Take 2
- Repton 4
