One for the Road - a clone of Pac-Man, where the player drives a car around the maze picking up the Cat's Eye's, avoiding the hostile road signs. The road signs become temporarily harmless after collecting an oil can.
Mutations - a clone of Spawn of Evil, where the player, as a patrol unit, must seek and destroy the enemy mutants, cloners, asteroids and battlecars.

Bombo is a fast-paced arcade-style platformer where players control a character jumping across the screen to collect tokens while avoiding enemies. The game's core gameplay revolves around quick reflexes and strategic movement as players aim to gather all tokens, with added bonuses for collecting them in the correct flashing order. Power-ups occasionally fall from above, temporarily granting the ability to capture enemies for points. With only three lives at their disposal, players must balance speed and caution to progress. Bombo's simple yet challenging mechanics, combined with its time-limited power-ups and bonus scoring system, create an addictive and engaging experience reminiscent of classic arcade games.
Starting in 1983, Frederic Friedel and his colleagues put out a magazine Computer-schach und Spiele covering the emerging hobby of computer chess. In 1985, Friedel invited then world chess champion Garry Kasparov to his house. Kasparov mused about how a chess database would make it easier for him to prepare for specific opponents. Friedel began working with Bonn physicist Matthias Wüllenweber who created the first such database, ChessBase 1.0, as software for the Atari ST. The February 1987 issue of Computer-schach und Spiele introduced the database program as well as the ChessBase magazine, a floppy disk containing chess games edited by chess grandmaster John Nunn.
