The game Silent Chain wasn't released outside this compilation, apart from an early unfinished version.

In Silent Chain, the player is in a liquid environment with bubbles moving across the screen. Initially, the player controls a small ball, able to move in four directions around the level, but without the ability to shoot. The player can "connect" new bubbles by touching them for long enough. Once connected, a bubble becomes part of the player; if several bubbles are connected, they are joined together by a thin line, and can be drawn closer to each other with the X key. As soon as the first bubble is connected, the player can have his bubbles shoot by pressing Z. Shooting or "connecting" other bubbles gives score, the more points the larger the player's "bubble chain" is. However, the player's bubbles shrink gradually, even faster when shooting. If all of the player's bubbles disappear by shrinking completely, or by coming in contact with sharp arrows that move around the unconnected bubbles, the game is over.
