Includes: Centipede, Hopper, Pango, Qubert and Zoarre.

CENT is a great version of the arcade game, CENTIPEDE. You will use the cursor keys to move and the space bar to fire as you try to kill the computer-generated worm as it comes at you. A cast of other small creatures, each packing its own brand of poison, join in the attack on you. Be alert! If any of the bug touches you, you die!

HOPPER is just like the arcade favorite, FROGGER. You have to try to get your green self across a busy five land highway and a stream in quest to make it home. One false step, and you become very thin in a hurry! There are four different skill levels, employing 500 different speeds. Level four at speed one is the most difficult and challenging.

PANGO is and incredible copy of PENGO, the popular arcade game. The object is to kill off the bees and/or line up the diamond blocks. You kill bees by kicking the wall, which puts them in a daze. Then you move over them. You also kick the diamond blocks to try to align them to win, to move them to escape the bees, or simply for the fun of kicking something.

Much like the arcade game, QBERT, the object in QUBERT is to hop around from space to space until all those on the floating platform have had their colors changed by a visit from QUBERT. While moving around, you have to avoid various objects and accidentally leaping off the edge of the world.

ZOARRE is a DUNGEONS & DRAGONS-style game where the computer is the DungeonMaster. You get to choose your own character. But a word of caution: do it well! If your character's strength, intelligence, dexterity, charisma and constitution are not up to par, then its life might not even be worth the keystrokes it takes to create it. This menu driven game uses the cursor control to move characters. Just follow the instructions.
