Description

Arcade Games is a compilation of three previously-unreleased arcade games.

  • Bogiemen: The player tries to move from the top left corner of a room to the exit on the right. Bouncing green Bogiemen move about the room, and the player must avoid touching these, or will lose a life. Each stage has two additional bouncing Bogiemen, and the player starts with three lives.

  • Bugvaders: The player controls a ship that moves laterally at the bottom of the screen and fires vertically. Three large bases provide protection from enemy fire, but also block the player's shots. These get damaged when shot. Enemies move as a group laterally across the screen until they reach the edge, move down one row, and reverse direction. Enemies return fire at the player, and the player must destroy all enemies before they reach the bottom of the screen.

  • Cosmoids: The player controls a small spaceship that can rotate 360 degrees, thrust, and fire forwards. Asteroids appear on the screen, which when hit break into two smaller pieces, and then two even smaller pieces, until being entirely destroyed. The player can hyperspace to a random screen location when in danger. New asteroids appear when all items on the screen are destroyed. Alien UFOs appear, which fire towards the player.
