In this two-player logical game, you place buttons on the playing field on squares that do not contain your opponent's buttons. If the amount of buttons in a square equals the amount of its neighboring squares, the square will explode, i.e. the buttons in it will move to the neighboring squares, and any buttons in them will change to your colour. The game will end when you destroy the opponent's all buttons or when the playing field reaches the "critical mass", i.e. it keeps exploding forever.

A graphical adventure by J Ferrari of Ferrasoft. "The object of the game is to search the tomb of Tut until you find the sacred golden death mask. At the start of the game the mask can be seen at the top left of the screen. Joystick or z=left,c=right,f1=up,f7=down guide Archie through the corridors of doom. Collect gold on the way around but avoid the guardians. Hurry back to the exit before your lamp dims. Should you die on the way around, you and your gold will stay buried with Tut." The game makes heavy use of machine language subroutines.
A game of skill. "Lucy" moves along the bottom of the screen and bugs move across the top. Press the RETURN key to "unleash the hungry lizard's tongue" to catch the bugs. Custom-character graphics.
Strategic-type game. Use your main and secondary guns and torpedoes to destroy light, medium, and heavy enemy ships that come onto your radar.

Run out of energy and you're dead in the water.
Another vertically scrolling car-driving game. Collect happy faces, avoid all other things. Requires joystick. This game is written in machine language.

Yak of Llamasoft confirms that he wrote this game: "It *IS* my game, something I did as part of the set of games sold by DK'Tronics. Knowing just how, ah, *scrupulous* the DK'Tronics bloke was I am not surprised to find it apparently sold on to someone else in the US to sell."
