Game Covers - Arkanoid Revenge of Doh (Commodore 64)

Eons have passed...  yet despite apparent annihilation in the original ARKANOID game, Dimension-controlling force "DOH" has come back to life, and occupying the huge space-craft ZARG, has entered our Universe.

ARKANOID type space-fighter MIXTEC runs through long-forgotten computer data until it finds the answer to this threat... "VAUS 2" is launched and speeds towards the threatening alien presence, before it can extract its revenge...

Game Covers - Arkanoid (Commodore 64)

The era and time of this story is unknown.  After the mothership "Arkanoid" was destroyed, a spacecraft "Vaus" scrambled away, only to be trapped in the void...

You control the Vaus and have to penetrate 32 levels and then confront the "Dimension Changer" whom you must destroy in order to reverse time and resurrect the "Arkanoid".  Frantic action and split-second timing combine to produce the most addictive and compulsive game.

You will need timing and accuracy for this game as you shoot down the enemy craft while dodging its missiles.

Game Covers - Race/Spin-Out/Cryptogram (Philips G7000)

Race

A race against time - travel as far as you can before the two minutes are up.  The game calls for a fast reaction-time and precise handling of the joystick control.  There is a time-penalty for crashing.  The game is over when time left = 00:00

Spin-out

Key 2 selects 3-lap racetrack, key 3 selects 15-lap racetrack.  Race your opponent round the corners and barriers of the Spin0out circuit.  There is a time penalty for crashing or spinning the car.  You have a choice of slow or fast speeds, and basic or complex racetracks.

Cryptogram

A game of knowledge and deduction.  Type a word or phrase onto TV screen (don't let your opponent see it).  The letters of the phrase are then jumbled up, and your opponent must unscramble them (each correct letter remains on screen).  The screen shows the number of mistakes made.  The player who makes least mistakes wins.
