Tank Wars is an action game played from a top down perspective on a single screen. It's a one on one game where the player controls a tank and has to defeat an AI controlled tank. Movement is possible in four directions and the tank will move forward until direction is changed. On the screen are trees, mines and a lake that act as obstacles in different ways. Trees stop the tank and can not be fired through while lakes only stops the tank but can still be fired over. Mines will blow up the tank if moved over. The player has five tanks and when they have all been destroyed the game ends.
Another VIC in the Wall is a simple Breakout variant. The player uses a paddle at the bottom of the screen to reflect a ball that bounces around the screen. The screen is constantly being filled with bricks and the idea is to destroy these by hitting them with the ball. If the ball goes past the paddle the player loses a life. He has three lives in total. The goal is simply to get as many points as possible. There is no end to it as new bricks are continuously added to the screen. The game is written in machine code and can be played with either keyboard or joystick.
In this game, written by Michael Burek and published by Sirius Software for the Apple II computers, the player must recover lost nuclear waste cannisters while avoiding mutant jellyfish and octopuses.
In The Crypts of Plumbous, the player has to fight alien ships who are trying to raid underground Nuclear waste storage for some unknown reason and unleash it on the planet.
