Game Covers - Time Tunnel (Commodore 64)

The adventure starts deep within the magical forests of Central Scandinavia and near the mansion of an aged, but powerful, gnome King. As is the tradition in the gnome society, whenever a king reaches his 350th birthday, procedures commence to choose a successor. Your recent accomplishments for a youth of 114 years makes you a prime contender for the throne, but the feats required to achieve your goal are not easy. Seven pages from an ancient gnome scripture have been scattered across the years of time by an evil Cyclops. These pages describe the magical procedure required to free many of your kind who have been trapped by spirits within the trees of the gnome forest. To earn your right to the throne, you must undertake perilous voyages back and forth in time to locate, acquire and return these pages to the forest. Your final goal of deciphering the scriptures message will allow you to perform the special magic required to free your fellow gnomes and become Gnome King.

Game Covers - Test Drive (Commodore 64)

TEST DRIVE: DRIVE FIVE OF THE WORLD'S MOST EXOTIC CARS!

The Lamborghini Countach looks fast standing still. But before you attempt to break the land speed record, it might be wise to get a handle on what you're in for. Test Drive provides you with a detailed "spec chart" on each of the five cars, listing their vital statistics. Please note that this road shark has a top speed of 173 mph. (Gulp) Maybe you'd like to start off a bit slower.

Watch the road signs zip past your windshield. Test Drive's fluid animation fills you with a thrilling rush of speed. Feast your eyes on the 911's dashboard. Test Drive's graphics are so true-to-life you'll swear you can smell the leather interior. Push the 911 into the turn. Feel it suck the road like a vacuum. Your radar detector is clean... but check the speedometer. The fuzz ain't friendly in these parts.

How about the Porsche 911 Turbo? Sure, it's quick (zero to 60 in five seconds flat) but it forged its reputation with precise response and handling. After reviewing the specs, it's time to get down to business. Fire up the 911 and push it to the limit on any of Test Drive's challenging road scenarios. For example, if you'd like to find out if the 911's handling is all that it's cracked up to be, select a winding mountain road.

Game Covers - Super Cycle (Commodore 64)

Super Cycle. Hang on. If you can.

You're sitting on 750 cc's of screaming machine, chrome and pistons ready for the course. It's you and your cycle against the road, the curves, the other motorcycles and the clock. Hot rubber on hot streets as you scream to victory.

Racing was never so fast and furious.

It takes split second timing. You must know when to cut, when to speed up, when to brake. Hesitate, and there's no way you'll win. Act rashly, and you crash.

You race through progressively harder courses. Finish successfully, and you get to try the next one. But don't push your machine too far. Keep your eye on the instruments. Push it to the limit, and you win. Push it over, and you crash.

Race against Other Motorcycles, through Countryside that Changes from Course to Course.
Watch Realistic Instruments - Tachometer, Speedometer.
Lean into the Turns, Scream Out into the Lead.
One Player.
