|
Blaster
Allows you to fire different projectiles at different speeds at several
stationary targets along the floor.
|
|
Arkanoid
A game where the
objective is to break all the blocks along the back wall
and prevent the ball from going past your goal. To
prevent the ball form going past your goal you have a
paddle that can be moved around to block the ball and
change its direction of travel.
|
|
Pong
A game where a
ball travels from side to side. The ball can be
blocked on your side by paddle you control. The
other side is controlled by the computer.
