Battle of Hoth is a Star Wars themed 1-player arcade game for the Apple II. Three columns of Imperial AT-AT walkers walk inexorably from the right of the screen towards the Rebel defensive positions on the left. The player controls a Rebel snowspeeder, which travels from the left ot right of the screen, and can fire horizontally to the right. The player can move the snowspeeder vertically up and down, and must avoid fire from the AT-ATs and shoot them down. Whenever an AT-AT is destroyed, a new AT-AT immediately appears to the right of the screen in that row. The player's goal is to survive for 300 seconds to allow for evacuation of Rebel forces. If an Imperial vessel reaches the left of the screen, the Rebel forces are routed, and the player loses the game. The player starts with a total of 9 snowspeeders, and if all are lost to Imperial fire, it's game over.Galaxian

It's you versus the robotic armada of the Merciless Monstroth, a one-eyed tentacled entity bent on conquest. Use your laser base to take out the enemy cannons and the robots, being careful that you shoot them when their barriers don't block you and when they're not shooting at you! Get shot and you lose your laser base, but as long as you have barriers, you can run under one of them and convert it into another laser base to continue the fight. Run out of them and it's only a matter of time before you become a victim of the Merciless Monstroth. The unusual part of this game is its scoring: if you destroy the robotic armada plus Merciless Monstroth, you earn a point; but if the armada destroys you and all your bases, Merciless wins a point. The game ends when either you or Merciless wins ten points.Krieg im Weltraum

star 5.8Released by Namco in the summer of 1980, King & Balloon is a shoot em up in the vein of Galaxian, but trades the outer space theme for pseudo-medieval setting. In the game, the player controls two green men who carry a cannon, as they defend the king below them from getting abducted by the balloons above, which keep invading the lower part of the screen while also shooting projectiles. Once all the balloons are shot down, the game moves on to the next level. One thing that makes King & Balloon unique is that you don't lose a life when hit. Rather, you respawn and keep on playing. The only way to lose a life is letting the king get abducted. Another interesting mechanic of note is that the balloons stop attacking and descending when one grabs ahold of the king, and they will keep still until the king is back on the ground. This creates a risk versus reward mechanic and entices you to let the balloon carry the king high enough so you can take out more balloons, then rescuing the king just in time.

star 5.8Space Invaders is a game in which the player controls a laser cannon by moving it horizontally across the bottom of the screen and firing at descending aliens. The aim is to defeat five rows of eleven aliens—some versions feature different numbers—that move horizontally back and forth across the screen as they advance towards the bottom of the screen. The player defeats an alien, and earns points, by shooting it with the laser cannon. As more aliens are defeated, the aliens' movement and the game's music both speed up.Sky Chuter

In Sky Chuter, the player guides their missile launcher that must fire at planes that appear from the left and right edges of the screen, then make their way down towards the player. While they are homing in on the player, not only do the planes fire down on the player, but they also release parachutes containing bombs that must be dealt with before they reach the surface. Once the player manages to kill the last airplane, the game proceeds to the next pattern. If the player loses all their lives, the game ends.Navarone
