One to six players each bring $500 and name the four horses in a five-race meeting. Before the first race the game shows each horse's odds on a dry track and on turf, once only, so remembering how they ran is the real skill. Track conditions change every race, a winning bet pays three to one, and a bugle call starts each dash for the line.

Controls: The stick chooses players, letters, bets and horses; the button confirms.

To win Princess Dilayna you must capture three wizards, each at the end of a castle of ten rooms. Each room holds one kind of servant, bat-wingers, blinkers, chokers, stompers or crushers, and has no exit until you touch two keys, after which wall pieces begin to fall. Walls, servants or an empty cloak timer cost a life. Your cloak freezes the servants for a price, and moving servants can leave secret passages in the outer walls.

Controls: The stick walks; the button freezes the servants.

Three RAM-ships race down three chutes in perspective, growing from distant dots to full-width menaces as they near you. Your ship sits at the bottom and hops between chutes to dodge them until one has gone by.

The article was a lesson in the Atari's player/missile size registers.

Controls: Left and right change chutes; the button starts each round.

Two biplanes take off from opposite ends of one airfield and dogfight across the sky. Each flies constantly in one of eight directions and fires shots of limited range. A plane that is shot down, or flies into the clouds, the ground or the control tower, gives the other pilot a point, and a mid-air collision gives each a point. First to fifteen wins. The original article was really about wiring a second joystick to the VIC-20.

Controls: Each player uses their own controller; the stick turns the plane and the button fires.

Aliens have planted a device in the sun that throws fireballs at the planets. Shoot each one down before it arrives, since a planet survives three hits and darkens with each. Blue flares do no harm. Shooting heats your blaster: an energy bar shows what is left, and the crosshair turns red when it is too hot. Each level is faster, and the game ends with the last planet.

Controls: The stick moves the crosshair; a side button fires.

Grab every dollar you can while staying away from the Collector, who is after you rather than the money. You move in eight directions and he only runs in straight lines, but leave one side of the screen and he comes on from the other, headed straight for you. Each round has more money, each dollar is worth more, and the screen turns into a maze after the first. Survive eighteen rounds and you can retire.

Controls: The stick moves in eight directions.

You are a construction worker trapped after dark high in an unfinished building. Temporary elevators run by themselves, stopping at some floors and skipping others, so you must ride them down, earning 100 points for each new floor. A patrol robot sweeps the building and pushes you off if it reaches you, and birds of prey swoop between floors. Reach the ground and the next round starts higher.

A race-track betting game for up to nine players, each starting with $500, over five races. Odds are recalculated from the money wagered before each race, so the favourite always pays less. Track conditions change and each one gives a particular horse an advantage, the way long shots can win on a slippery track. The richest player after the fifth race wins.

Controls: Left and right change a number, up and down change an amount by 100, and fire accepts.

A clown keeps two or three balls in the air, each flying its own arc from hand to hand. You slide both hands together between three positions so that one is waiting under every ball as it falls; miss one and it crashes, ending the game. A catch is worth one point with two balls and ten with three, and a score past 49 or 499 springs a surprise: every ball grows to double length.

Controls: Left and right move the hands; up picks three balls and left two on the menu.

Jack runs along platforms and down ladders toward the bottom of the screen, but the platforms are far from sturdy and holes open without warning. Time a jump to clear a hole and land on your feet. A press just after Jack passes over a hole gives a saving jump that scores nothing but keeps him alive, and it can carry him across two holes in a row.

Controls: Fire jumps, in place of the original's space bar.

Larry, an apprentice inventor, left his plans in a robot-guarded factory with the elevators shut down. From the bottom floor he leaps from conveyor belt to conveyor belt up six floors.

Three pads sit in the water among the sailboats, worth 25, 50 or 75 points, with the smallest paying most.

Hop across a pyramid of 21 cubes, changing each one's colour as you first land on it for 100 points times the level. Change them all for a large bonus and a new pyramid. A rock bounces down at random and a bug-like creature hops after you, and touching either or hopping off the edge ends the game. Two hovering lifts carry you to the top, at a cost in points.

Controls: The stick's diagonals are the four hops.

Make a 4 by 4 board match a master pattern against the clock, in as few moves as you can. Pressing a square flips a group whose shape depends on where it is: the middle squares flip a plus, corners a triangle along two edges, and edge squares the three around them but not themselves. A timer and move counter keep score, and the game reports both when the board matches.

Controls: The stick moves the cursor; fire presses the square.

A Breakout-style game from an all-machine-language IBM listing. Five rows of bricks pay 1 point at the bottom up to 5 at the top, and you have eight balls. The paddle moves slower than the ball, so you have to anticipate its path, and where the ball strikes the paddle sets its angle. It speeds up after set numbers of hits and on reaching the upper rows, and a new wall follows each one cleared.

Controls: Left and right move the paddle; the left button serves and the right pauses.

A mancala game of twelve compartments with four counters each. You lift all the counters from one of your cups and sow them counterclockwise. If the last one brings an opponent's cup to 2 or 3, those are captured, along with any before it holding the same. Capturing more than 24 wins outright. The computer's strategy is carried over from the original.

Controls: Left and right choose a cup; the left button sows and the right quits.

Nerm the worm is lost in Bemer Castle with eleven rooms between him and home. He eats magic mushrooms to keep up his strength, and after five in a room the exits open. Nobody knows where the next one will grow, and each one makes him longer, so touching a wall or his own tail costs one of his four lives. Mushrooms pay 100 points and a bonus, and extra lives come as you go.
