Car Polo is an up-to-four player full color video game that combines the skills of driving with the intense player interaction of team sports. The object is to score by bumping or pushing the ball with a car into your team's goal. Teamwork revolves around passing and blocking strategy. Play becomes fast and furious, and excitement is enhanced by car motor noises, crash sounds, controlled grass skids and bouncing ball motions.

Fire One
A first-person submarine game where players sink the enemy fleet or submarine while protecting their own. Two players compete, each trying to outmaneuver the other. The screen is divided into three parts: a sonar view showing all ships, a torpedo status display, and a periscope view. Players can dive to move faster and resurface to attack. Battles end when one fleet or submarine is destroyed, with points awarded for tonnage sunk. The game is timed, but extra quarters add time. Difficulty adjusts automatically based on player performance.
Hard Hat

RipCord
A skill game where players launch a parachutist from a plane, open the parachute, and control the descent to land on one of three platforms for points. The game starts with a fanfare, and the number of jumps is displayed on-screen. Players press Jump to exit the plane, pull the D-Ring to open the parachute, and use the Drift control to guide the landing. Landing on a platform allows continued play, and consecutive successful landings earn bonus points. Bonus jumps score ten times the normal amount until a miss. Active helicopters increase difficulty with consecutive scores, challenging players to achieve high scores.
Robot Bowl
A black and white bowling game from Exidy.
Side Track
In Side Trak, the goal is to clear levels by picking up all passengers along the tracks. Pass by passengers to collect them and switch tracks to avoid collisions with the "killer engine," which costs a life. Passing the START space adds a train car, increasing bonus points for collected passengers. Use the action button to speed up and evade the killer engine. Difficulty increases with each level, and the game ends when all lives are lost.
Spectar
You are the Wummel in the city of the Spectars. Your fight for justice is not done. Spectar is a sequel to the game Targ and you must drive your battle cruiser around a grid. Drive over any twinkling stars you can and shoot any of the enemy cruisers you come across. A level ends when you have shot all the enemies or collected all the stars.
Super Tank
Super Tank is one of two original games manufactured by German company Video Games GmbH. Released in 1981, it was licensed to SNK for the Japanese market and Computran for the US Market. In Super Tank, up to two players simultaneously control highly mobile armored tanks on a mission to destroy the SUPER TANK. An introductory collection round challenges the players to clear a field of mines and destroy as many red enemy tanks as possible. Special glowing diamonds are scattered throughout, providing temporary super armor protection and making the players’ task easier.
Targ
Targ is a 1- or 2-player shooter released in 1980 by Exidy. Players control the heroic vehicle Wummel to destroy invading Targ riders in the 9x9 grid "Crystal City." Occasionally, a Spectar appears and can be destroyed for bonus points. Players must avoid and eliminate 10 wedge-shaped enemies to clear the level and earn a bonus. A 4-way joystick controls the Wummel, and a button fires at enemies. Gameplay becomes faster and more challenging as levels progress, offering intense, fast-paced action.
