Jawbreaker II
1982
Man! If you like Pac-Man, candy, giant spinning happy faces, more candy, Mozart (I think), teeth, moving horizontally....well....Jawbreaker II has it all! This is a fun game for the TI-99/4A, and was a sequel...I guess?...of the original Jawbreaker on the Atari 2600. Though related, the Jawbreaker for the Atari 400/800 was a Pac-Man clone, with the same theme of candy eating and tooth brushing.Princess and Frog

Princess and Frog
1982
This take on Frogger features music and speech. In this variation, you are a frog trying to get to the princess's castle. You must first cross a road filled with jousting knights on horseback. You must then cross the moat, filled with snakes and alligators. The alligators will submerge, drowning your frog if he's riding on that alligator's back. If you make it safely, you become a handsome prince.Nato defense

Macho Mouse
1982
Macho Mouse is an arcade game which was released by Techstar in 1982; it runs on the hardware first used by Amenip and Centuri for Round-Up (two Zilog Z80s, running at 3.072 and 2.5 MHz, with two General Instrument AY-3-8910s running at 1.536 MHz for audio). The player must use the four-way joystick, to direct the eponymous "Macho Mouse" around a maze, leaving a trail of dots behind him as he goes (like Pac-Man in reverse), and causing images of his head to appear while avoiding cats that will kill him on contact - but as in Konami's Amidar, Macho Mouse can jump by means of a button and stun the cats for a short period of time. Between rounds, there is a "slot machine" similar to that of Chuo Co., Ltd.'s Funny Mouse (later re-released by Taito Corporation, as "Super Mouse").Pioneer Balloon

Pioneer Balloon
1982
Pioneer Balloon was an odd, though enjoyable, game in which the player piloted a hot-air balloon over a southwest landscape while dropping bombs on wagon trains and Native American villages before landing in a fort. The weird part came via the games many anachronistic (or downright bizarre) elements. The “Native Americans” lived in huts and hurled boomerangs (in the Wild West?). An even stranger enemy was a series of killer waterspouts (in the Wild West??). Strangest of all was a stage involving a series of islands populated by hopping-mad giant, yellow apes (in the Wild West???).Moguchan

XWing Fighter
1982
In XWing Fighter you need to pilot an X Wing aircraft in an attack on the Death Star, re-enacting the scene from the first Star Wars movie. There is a small unshielded exhaust port which you must hit directly with a torpedo. As you approach the death star numerous imperial fighters and Darth Vader himself will try to stop you. Your fighter is equipped with lasers to fight the imperial fighters and Darth Vader, and three torpedoes to use against the death star. The mission fails if you miss the death star with all three torpedoes or are destroyed by a fighter.Kamikazi Alien

PacWorm

PacWorm
1982
PacWorm is an early Snake-like game for DOS. Your objective is to eat 10 "foods" that appear randomly on the field. Each time you gobble a food, your worm gets longer; if you hit anything except the food (like walls or yourself), you use a life. If you've eaten 10 foods, a door opens and you can leave the level, coming to the next level with additional walls. There is also time limit of sorts: if you'll not eat next food in given time range, it will multiply and counter of "needed food" will go up.Ramsak

Ramsak
1982
The player (a white smiling face) travels on a field, trying to collect all dots and symbols and escaping evil Red Faces. There are also destructible (light-blue) and indestructible (dark blue) blocks on field. There is only one playing field, but it is randomly generated: there is random block placement, in-field bonus symbols randomly restocked after each death, and, moreover, each Red Face can remove or place any symbol on board (including indestructible blocks). There are no different levels and the game plays on the same board until the player loses all lives.Floppy Frenzy

Floppy Frenzy
1982
In Floppy Frenzy, players guide a floppy disk through a maze, being careful to avoid dust and magnets. Players can trap magnets in a trap, while using traps on dust will reduce the dust and make it harmless. Be warned though, as magnets get free after a while or if they touch another trap after they are trapped. There is also a timer. If the player does not use their traps on all the enemies within the time limit, they will die. If the player loses all three of their lives the game is then over. After each level the player gets to a bonus score screen, which shows how well they did within the time limit. The faster a player used their traps on all the enemies, the higher the bonus score multiplier.
