The basic aim is to ride a motocross bike through hazardous courses within the time limits.

Mr Chip Software1984
Duck Shoot recreates the classic fairground shooting gallery experience in a digital format. Players control a gun at the bottom of the screen, aiming to shatter six plates positioned at the top while navigating four rows of moving targets in between. The game challenges players to balance their primary objective of breaking plates with the opportunity to score bonus points by hitting other moving objects. Adding to the challenge, ducks periodically swoop down, depleting the player's limited ammunition if they reach the bottom. A special duck traversing the top of the screen can restore shot plates if it completes its journey, introducing a strategic element to the gameplay. The game continues until the player exhausts their ammunition, which is visually represented by a bar beneath the gun, creating a constant tension between accuracy and resource management.
Gilligan's Gold
Ocean Software1984
Gilligan's Gold is a flick-screen platform game based on the arcade game Bagman consisting of three screens as you try to negotiate various levels of a mine to collect all the bags of gold scattered around the three screens. Trying to stop you are a couple of outlaws and if you touch one then you lose one of five lives. You must use the ladders and lifts to move up and down levels and if you fall down more than one level then you lose a life. Once you have a bag of gold you must drag it up to the top of the mine and put it in your wheelbarrow which can be moved anywhere on the top of the mine on any screen. Dragging a bag of gold slows you down but can be used to drop on the head of an outlaw. You can use a pick axe to dig through a yellow wall hiding a bag of gold and it can also can stun an outlaw for a few seconds but can only be used once. Moving about the screens are mine-carts and although if they hit you, you lose a life but you can ride them. Grab onto a hook and when a cart is beneath you drop on it. You can get off a cart at anytime.
Alchemist
Imagine Software1984
The player controls an alchemist who has been summoned to defeat an evil warlock. The game is set inside the warlock's castle, with the game's primary objective being finding four pieces of a magic scroll. This allows the alchemist to use the "Spell of Destruction" to defeat the warlock. The alchemist can transform into a golden eagle, requiring the use of spell energy. Transforming between the two is essential to completing the game. The alchemist can hurl lightning bolts and other spells, but the eagle form is required to negotiate steep hills or drops. The alchemist can only carry one item at a time and must consume food to keep stamina levels up. Movement, bumping into objects, or transforming depletes the character's stamina. Fighting monsters also reduces the character's stamina, although this can be mitigated by carrying an axe or sword.
Caterpilla
Ocean Software1983

There's no cross hairs, and no straight line of flight, the cannon balls travel in an arc towards the flock that moves back and forth in the distance. Occasionally one will swoop towards you.
