Video Games 1
At one time or another, everyone has enjoyed playing the games in a "penny arcade." Video Games 1 brings three of these types of games into your home to be enjoyed at any time.
Movement on the screen can be controlled by the Wired Remote Controllers or from the keyboard. For Video Games 1, certain keys on both sides of the keyboard are designated as directional keys:
Pot-Shot
This activity turns your computer screen into a shooting gallery. The display shows a randomly selected country scene, and rabbits, ducks and deer appear as targets. This game improves your hand-eye coordination by requiring you to aim and then fire at your target.
Pinball
This familiar game is programmed with colors and sounds, special targets, and a movable electronic "flipper." Watch your skill and scores improve as you get the "feel" of the game. You can't "tilt" this one!
Doodle
This game calls for quick reactions and tactics as you try to trap your opponent's spider inside your web. Look out though! Your opponent will be trying to corner you too! Play against the computer or challenge a friend.
