- Similar to Zork (1977) (which was released on the VAX mainframe not long before Acheton's original appearance), Acheton is a fantasy treasure hunt set in a claustrophobic dungeon. It boasts over 400 rooms and 200 objects, thereby making it much bigger than Zork. As with many games of this kind, most time is spent exploring the environment and solving item-based puzzles. Everything is described solely with plain text and the player interacts with the game by typing in phrases that describe their desired action, e.g. "take bottle". It also features a help function with graded hints.
- Despite its title, Adventure Construction Set is an editor that allows players to create their own role-playing scenarios. It is possible to customize a tile-set, maps, and objects to create RPGs reminiscent of the early Ultima games. Seven small 'toolkits' to build from include Sci/Fi, Spy, and Medieval setting templates, plus two complete games are included as a demonstration: Rivers of Light is based on Sumerian mythology and contains 140 rooms and Land of Aventuria consists of seven mini adventures with different settings, e.g. an adaptation of Alice in Wonderland or a Nazi castle.

Without these, you will never turn back into a human again. These items have to be collected in the maze which consists of 150 isometric rooms. These can be explored freely but sometimes you need to have special objects to proceed, e.g. a candle in dark rooms. The dangers consist mostly of sharp objects which can cause your ball to burst. Additionally, you are on a timer because your balloon loses air constantly. But it can be refilled by using pumps which can be found in the maze - but you have to leave them in time or you explode because of overpressure.
- Alien Invasion is a fixed screen shoot 'em up based on Space Invaders (1978) but with some additions to the gameplay. There are twelve different invaders in the game including one that takes two hits to kill. The invaders have three different kinds of bombs: normal bombs that drop straight down, spinning bombs that drop diagonally, and homing bombs that seek out the player. A notable difference from Space Invaders is that the old shields are gone. Instead, the laser base has a built-in shield that can be activated for protection. The player starts out with two shields and gets new ones at the start of each new wave. The UFOs act as supply ships and will randomly drop power-ups that the player can catch. Power-ups include extra lives and shields, stopping the invaders from moving or dropping bombs, and movable rockets. There's also a power-up that makes the invaders invisible. The game also comes with editors that allow the player to change sprites and wave formations.

It features six disciplines, including Long Jump, High Jump, Javelin, Shot Put, Pole Vault and the Hundred Meter run. Up to four players can compete in the events, but not playing at the same time, but in a hot-seat mode. Control is like in other sports games: you have to gain speed pushing the joystick in a perfect rhythm, and pushing the trigger at the right time, i.e. to start jumping in the Long Jump and High Jump discipline. Unlike other games of the genre, humor is not getting short, as a referee is constantly pestering at you, making sarcastic comments if you fail to reach very good results. Most events are visually presented on several screens which are flipped (not scrolled).

- A platformer where the player enters the brain of a young man called Sigmund. Sigmund has his share of problems and the player has to resolve his mental instability by exploring the surreal world of his inner mind and shut down malfunctioning brain cells. The game plays like any traditional platformer and involves jumping around and shooting at the abstract enemies that roam around. The player can pick up different guns such as a bazooka, a minigun, and others. The game has three levels (referred to as mental zones): ego, psyche, and id. Ego is the easiest and needs to be completed before id is unlocked. Each level is big and requires exploring. The levels are full of items that the player can collect and get points for. The bottom right-hand corner shows a bonus symbol and when collected the symbol will advance until it gets a star. The player will then be transported to a bonus room. The objective of each level is simply to find all eight brain cells and shut them down.
- Auto Sports 10 is a top-down racing game with 10 variations. There are three different game types.

Both automatic and manual transmissions are available for each car. Cars cannot be tuned, and there is no two-player option. Despite being released only in Japan, all menus and game text is in English.
- Blue Forest Story is set in a medieval fantasy land, controlled by the powerful Empire. There are in fact two stories in the game, featuring two different characters, who live in different provinces of the Empire. The boy Wallace enjoys a peaceful life with his family in a quiet village; the girl Rakjit witnesses persecution and death of her mother, and joins a resistance movement that specializes in magics. The paths of the two young people will eventually lead to the same goal - the liberation of the world; but when and how it will be achieved, remains unclear... The game plays for the most part like a traditional Japanese-style top-down RPG. Both Wallace and Rakjit eventually gather a party, which roams the world, visiting various locations and advancing the story in a predominantly linear fashion. The appearance of random enemies triggers a battle screen, which is viewed from an isometric perspective. The battle system is rather old-fashioned, with physical and magical attacks; level progression is automatic, as in most games of the genre. Sometimes the game prompts the player to choose an action or a response; while the flow of the story is rarely influenced by the player's decision, the game keeps track of these decisions, evaluating the player's attitude between chapters.
- Backgamon (sic) is a computer version of the board game backgammon. Players roll dice to move men over the game board with the aim of being the first to move all fifteen off of the board. The typical rules of backgammon apply. Players roll two dice (if a pair is rolled it becomes four for that turn with the extra two being a copy of the original pair) to move their pieces to an empty slot, a slot occupied by their own pieces, or a slot that contains only one of their opponent's pieces. Doing that will send their opponent's piece back to their own home base. The game can be played against the computer or against another player.
- Ballarena is a Breakout (1976) variant and as such the player's objective is to clear out all the blocks (which here come in many different shapes) on the screen with the use of a paddle that bounces a ball. What makes it different from other games of its kind is that the paddle is not only moved along the bottom of the screen but in a circle around the blocks located in the middle. There are no borders that stop the ball so it can leave the playing field on any side of the screen. When it has done so four times it is game over for the player. Clearing all blocks from the screen leads to progression to the next stage. Like in Arkanoid (1986) it's possible to pick up various power-ups. These include giving bonus points, catching the ball with the paddle, and a laser that can be used to blast blocks. The game also features various monsters that move around the screen and deflect the ball. They can be killed by hitting them with the paddle. Every fourth stage is a challenge stage where the game turns into a shoot 'em up similar to Gyruss (1983). Monsters appear in the middle of the screen and the player uses his paddle to shoot them down as quickly as possible. The player then earns points based on the number of shots and hits. The game can be played by one or two players simultaneously.
- Ballz: The Director's Cut is an improved version of the Genesis and SNES game Ballz (1994). Like the original, it's a 3D fighting game where all the characters are made out of balls.

Each boss has a unique fighting style and weak spot. In multiplayer you can fight against friends.
- Bambuzle is a puzzle game similar to Log!cal. Each of the 50 levels is a layout of tubes that lead to bearings with four indentations; the goal is to fill each one with a ball of the same color. Those bearings can be spun to send balls another way and explode when they are full. Each level has to be solved within a time limit and there are some special obstacles to take into consideration, e.g. tubes that only let through balls of a certain color or paint pots that change the color of a passing ball. A password is rewarded for each finished level.

- Battle Pinball is a Japanese-only release where players play competitive pinball against the computer or another player. Players pick between one of four characters, each with their own dedicated pinball table. The game then moves to a split-screen view, where both players play their respective table and try to get a higher score than their opponent. Other options include a 1-player "story" mode where the player selects a character and battles the other three. Winning here gives a character-specific CG victory movie. Players can also play against multiple opponents in a tournament mode (complete with brackets), though a maximum of two players will be playing at once. As with Fire Ball!! (1994), the view angle is fixed and cannot be changed.

The spaceship is located at the bottom of the screen and it can only stop on one of five beams. You are armed with both lasers and torpedoes; torpedoes are more powerful and can destroy more enemies compared to lasers, however you only get three per level. To complete a sector, you need to destroy fifteen white flying saucers. After all saucers are destroyed, the sector sentinel passes by which can be destroyed for extra points. Each even number sector up until sector 16 will add a new type of enemy to deal with. These additional enemies will just try to slow your mission, though, only the saucers need to be destroyed to advance. Occasionally a rejeuvinator will appear; if this is collected, you can earn an extra life. But be careful, because if you accidentally shoot the rejeuvinator it will turn into an enemy.

The player must set up base towers, each with abilities. The goal is to destroy all the creeps before they reach the tower, for if even one reaches it, the player loses. Special tiles, called zones, are placed around the tower, each having a different effect on the creeps. The Toa Mahri also fight the creeps, each having their own attacks and acting as more powerful versions of towers. On the other side, there are five different types of creeps, each with different traits. There are two modes: Campaign Mode and Survival Mode. In campaign mode, there are 16 levels, each getting progressively harder. The player starts out as Matoro, but more playable characters can be unlocked.

- Bloxed is a Tetris variant that most closely resembles the arcade game Bloxeed (1990). The basic gameplay is the same but it adds various power-ups to the game. These are called power blocks and appear randomly as part of tetrominoes and are activated when a row consisting of one is cleared. There are four different power blocks: four lines, filler, shooter, bomb, and 16-ton weight. Four lines remove up to four incomplete lines from the playfield. Filler replaces the next tetromino with a little alien that the player controls and drops single blocks. It can be used to fill in holes in partially finished lines. The shooter does the opposite and shoots away unwanted blocks. The bomb is used to blow up a section of the playfield. The 16-ton weight removes three columns of blocks when dropped on the playfield. The game also features a multiplayer mode where two players compete side-by-side on a split-screen. A special feature in the multiplayer mode is that if one player completes more than one line with a piece the lines are passed to the opponent.

- Bubble Fair is a variant of the arcade game Buster Bros. (1989). The story involves the characters Inky and Jinky who arrive at a fair as soap bubbles start falling from the sky. The bubbles are the work of the sorcerer ARCphile who wants to control all stalls of the fair. To make him stop, Inky and Jinky challenge him to a duel. The duel involves a game of noughts and crosses where each stall represents a square. In each of the stalls, the player has to catch the ice cream that is hidden within a bubble that blocks access to the stall. For each stall, there are two ice creams to catch and when done that square is won. To win the whole game the player has to win the nought and crosses game four times. Like in the arcade game, it is a platform game with single-screen levels. Bubbles will bounce around and the player's task is to destroy them with the use of an upwards traveling rope attached balloon that when hitting a bubble splits it into smaller ones or destroys it completely. The game features power-ups that are dropped when a bubble is hit. These can lead to both positive and negative effects including increased or decreased time or score, giving a shield, extra balloons, or inverting the player's movement. In total there are 72 levels.
- Bug Hunter in Space is a sequel to the original Bug Hunter game. Once again the player controls the Hysteron Proteron which this time is sent to deal with a fleet of alien space crafts.

The game plays largely the same as its predecessor but it features larger scrolling levels. The Hysteron Proteron has no weapons (except for some that can be picked up at certain locations) but can walk on walls and ceilings and pick up certain objects. These objects have to be dropped on the aliens to kill them. Additionally, it's possible to jump and activate devices but only when not carrying an object. The player has three lives and one is lost upon making contact with an alien.
