Fly Low Hit Hard is a homebrew, side-scrolling shoot'em up where the player steers a small spacecraft and has to destroy or avoid spaceships and buildings (these look like "X"s), with the spaceships being destroyed pixel by pixel.

The game also features SAMs (surface-to-air missiles) that launch and will explode if they hit the player's spacecraft. However, SAMs can also be destroyed.

The player starts with five lives and gets a new life for every additional 100 points.

Escape from Tokat Dungeon is a homebrew action game with slight puzzle elements. The player has to collect all keys to open the exit and then go to said exit before the time runs out. Meanwhile the player has to avoid the monsters and traps (which in-game are called mines). After a while the levels repeat but are significantly more difficult, as more monsters are added, with some of them moving faster. The player is able to rebind keys.

Valna is an RPG that incorporates traditional JRPG (turn-based) and action-RPG elements.

The game takes place in Uniterion, on the night of the 100th anniversary of the Kingdom. The Chief Priest Zaurzarius kills the king and also all of his servants. However, the young Princess Melfia is rescued by the hands of Guard Captain Riatos. From then on, the world is desolate and turned into a monster's nest. The brave Deal Garat sets out on a journey in search of the legendary crystal to resolve this. Many years later, Deal's son Kamil visits the Kingdom of Uniterion in search of his father's whereabouts. This is where the game starts, with the player playing as Kamil.

In towns there is a side view and the battles are turn-based, like in traditional JRPGs. Here the player can also rest at inns, buy weapons and armor and talk to some people. Outside of towns, in the overworld and in dungeons, the view is overhead and the battles are in real-time action. The player also gets ranged spells which they can fire. Killed enemies may sometimes leave gold or HP gems behind, the latter will refill HP - sometimes even to the max.

Valna also incorporates System Sacom's Novel Wware system.

A mad professor has planted a bomb in a sewer. You are trapped in his house and you have to escape it by collecting keys to open bars and get to the top of the screen, get through a jungle collecting keys to open the sewer and finally get down to the sewer, also collecting keys - but this time to defuse the bomb. The bomb will explode in a certain period of time, which the player can set at the beginning. 2 minutes, 2 minutes and 30 seconds, or 3 minutes.

In each level there are bonuses for the player to collect. Collecting these will award the player with extra points. Also each level has different hazards. The house level has turrets and lasers, the jungle has man-eating plants that are dangerous if they open their mouths, but harmless if their mouths are shut and there also falling coconuts and the sewer has vine-esque plants that will enlarge and shrink.

After the bomb is defused the game will start in the first level, the house level, again. Should the player not defuse the bomb in time the game will be over and the player can write his / her name for the high-score list.

Whomper Stomper is an arcade-action game for 1 - 2 players. If chosen to play the 2-player mode the game is turn-based, as soon as a player loses a life the other player plays.

Bill Bunion wanted nothing more but to enjoy a nice picnic lunch, but unfortunately ants foiled his picnic lunch. Bill Bunion got angry and eventually took it up to himself to stop the invasion of the ants.

As Bill Bunion it is your job to stomp the ants by using one of your foots (you can only see the foot anyways) and to stop them from reaching the picnic basket. If some ants come too close to the picnic basket, Artie, Bill's aardvark will suck them up. However, if too many ants come too close to the picnic basket they will carry it away and you will lose a life.

Next to the ants there are also birds who will throw rocks at Bill's foot and in the easiest difficulty there are spikes that will hurt your foot later on, the spikes are already in the beginning on the medium and hard difficulty. If a bird hits Bill's foot or you stomp on a spike you will lose a life. After you have stomped a lot the foot will start to blink, which means it's aching and if not cured by stomping on an apple, which will also make your foot stomp faster, you will lose a life.

You start with 3 lives, lose all 3 and the game is over.

The game also features speech.

Tube Baddies is an action-arcade game for 1-2 players.
