The Last V8
1985
Seven years have passed since world war III, and only now dare you leave your shelter in order to investigate what has become of the surface world. You drive out in your specially-equipped vehicle, the Last V8, only to discover that the outside world is more hostile than you would have expected. Your task is now (as commended by a digitised voice at the beginning of each level) simply to get back to the base in as short time as possible. The Last V8 is an over-head driving game where you must drive through narrow roads without crashing into anything, and with a strict deadline for your arrival at the base. This is somewhat complicated by the fact that you have only a narrow stripe of screen space to see where you're driving; two thirds of the screen is dedicated to instruments (speed readout, radiation level and mission objectives). The steering method is not the usual Sprint one; instead you simply pull the joystick in whichever direction you want to go, pulling it in the opposite direction in case you need toSky Kid

star 5You are the legendary Red Baron, flying a plane through a horizontal side-scrolling scenery set during World War I. To complete a mission, you simply need to get to the landing spot on the other side without being shot down, but you can gain extra points by destroying enemy vehicles and planes. For huge points, pick up a bomb hidden in the level (you will be warned by a sound when approaching it) and drop it on a large structure. If you fail to land on the landing strip, you run out of fuel and crash. You can only shoot horizontally and diagonally by tilting the plane's nose. When in trouble, perform an aerial loop with the secondary button, this often destroys other planes and avoids bullets. There is a co-op mode with the character Max as well.The Eidolon

The Eidolon
1985
The Eidolon is an innovative first-person shooter developed by Lucasfilm Games in 1985, utilizing advanced fractal technology to create immersive cave environments. Players navigate through eight levels of maze-like caverns, collecting colored energy orbs and battling various enemies. The game's unique combat system requires matching orb colors to enemy types, adding a strategic layer to the shooting mechanics. Each level culminates in a battle with a dragon guardian, accessed after collecting three diamonds guarded by specific enemies. The game features special abilities tied to orb colors: green orbs can transform enemies, while blue orbs temporarily freeze them. This color-based gameplay, combined with the need to manage the Eidolon's energy levels and navigate increasingly complex cave systems, creates a challenging and engaging experience. The Eidolon's blend of cutting-edge graphics technology, strategic combat, and exploration elements made it a standout title in early 3D gaming, showcasing Lucasfilm Games'Fight Night

Should the Mole be taken? What about Thunderbird 4? Should extra fuel be carried?

Thunderbird 1 can move blue blocks out of the way, Thunderbird 2 can move green blocks and both can move red blocks and as an additional complication some passages are too narrow for Thunderbird 2 to pass through. Another feature of the puzzle is fuel management, flying uses up fuel but fortunately an earlier expedition did leave fuel dumps scattered around. There's treasure to be collected too.
