The centipede starts at the top of the screen, traveling either left or right. When it hits a mushroom or the edge of the screen, it drops one level and switches direction. Thus, more mushrooms on the screen cause the centipede to descend more rapidly. The player can destroy mushrooms by shooting them, but each takes four hits to destroy.
The objective of Asteroids is to score as many points as possible by destroying asteroids and flying saucers. The player controls a ship that can rotate left and right, fire shots straight forward, and thrust forward. As the ship moves, momentum is not conserved — the ship eventually comes to a stop again when not thrusting.
Spy Hunter is an action/driving game with the player in the role of a spy driving an armed sports car. The object of the game is to travel the freeway destroying as many enemy vehicles as possible while protecting civilian vehicles. The game is a top-down vertical scroller with a vantage point similar to that of a news helicopter.
On early levels, the player’s task is as simple as a single hop on each cube. Later rounds become more challenging: cubes have to be touched twice, cubes change back to the wrong color if they get hopped on again, etc. If Q*bert hops off the edge of the pyramid of cubes he falls to his demise.
Use the arrow keys to control the direction of Mario through the free Donkey Kong game levels and use the space bar to jump. You may need to click on the game with the mouse before the arrow keys actually work. This online version of Donkey features the first two levels.
PacMan has to roam round a maze swallowing little pills. Meanwhile, four ghosts (named Blinky, Pinky, Inkey, and of course, Clyde) are chasing you as you listen to a high-pitched wailing noise.
Can you control a knight armed with a lance, mounted on an ostrich, and battle waves of computer-controlled enemy knights mounted on giant buzzards. These knights have three different speed and agility levels. Don’t fall into the lava!
You have two things to worry about, the cars or the traffic on the whole, and the water. Any hit by the traffic takes one life away, and you have limited lives for clearing the level. Your scoring depends upon the jumps which you make. Every forward jumps gives you points while every backward jump takes some points away from you. Some instances have special bonus points associated with them, and that is where you can give your score a push.
