The Wicked Father
2024
Playing the unconsionable character of the title who has taken out insurance on both his house and family, you enter his world the moment after he has just trapped them in the basement and flooded the property. A delicious profit surely awaits! Aim for the door (a dot!) in each room. Water rises incessantly, filling the house; languish for too long and you'll drown. There are five floors in the building; played on difficulty setting A (advanced), after every four rooms you'll escape to the next floor and the water level will drop a bit, bestowing some much-needed breath-related respite. Playing on difficulty setting B (beginner), the water level resets on each screen. Left and right does what you'd expect. When you're not submerged, the fire button will let you jump. When underwater, you'll start to run out of breath, so repeatedly hammer the fire button to swim up. When you reach the surface either jump out to land on a platform, or slowly pulse the fire button to bob on the top of the water. When you leave theGremlins

Gremlins
1984
The Atari 2600 adaption of the 1984 film, "Gremlins". In this version, on the first screen, Mogwai are jumping from the roof to get at hamburgers on the ground. You, as Billy, must catch them before the hit they ground. If you get them all, it is off to the next, faster, level. If you miss eight, then you go to a shooting screen. On the shooting screen, gremlins are approaching from the distance. You must shoot them before they reach you. If one reaches you, you lose a life. After they are all dead, it is back to the first screen at a faster level. In later levels, puddles of water will divide the gremlins in two. A different version of the same name was also released for the 5200, Commodore 64 and Apple II.Punch Out

A considerably stripped down version of Commando, with a limited amount of enemies onscreen and generally simplified gameplay. The levels have been reduced to only four stages that loop twice, as opposed to the arcade game's eight levels.

But take care to avoid the sweeping teleport beams and be careful not to let those bugs stay red for too long...... Bob and the alien fire flies is my very first game ever, for any platform anywhere. The inspiration for the game's main character came from a pancake I made once (it really did look like a hedgehog with tentacles). The game written entirely in bAtari BASIC features 3 different game over animations and two hedgehogs. Yes, that's right, you can play alone as Bob or play in two player mode with a friend and control both Bob and Hog as they battle to be the first to eat 20 fire flies.Nitebear on Sleepystreet
