Alcazar: The Forgotten Fortress	Activision;Telegames	1985	a	Hundreds of years ago, massive fortified palaces were built in Spain. Built to withstand the most unbearable siege. With defenses that have become, frankly, legendary. And the grandest castle of them all was Alcazar. Said to contain the riches of a dozen rulers, folklore also whispered of fantastical demons and unimaginable peril. Today, Alcazar still stands. Overlooking a forbidden land, it lures and tempts. The forgotten Moorish stronghold, its drawbridge down and its treasure yet untouched, dares to be awakened. But first, even to reach its entrance, you will need to venture through a broad countryside of ancient castles. Each one harbors within its confines fire-breathing griffins. saber-swinging guards, bottomless shafts and much more. Through over twenty castles with hundreds of rooms, you will be driven to call upon every ounce of strength and intellect you possess. To decipher both visual and unique audio clues. To discover valuable tools. To simply-survive.*** [52]
Alphabet Zoo	Spinnaker Software	1984	a	It's a race. It's a chase. It's ALPHABET ZOO. And it teaches children the relationship of letters and sounds. And also how to spell while they're having fun. ALPHABET ZOO is two letter-skill games in one. In both, children develop essential vocabulary skills as they race through the maze after letters that fit the picture on the screen. Different playing levels allow children to concentrate on vowels or consonants, or to be challenged by the entire alphabet. And children also strengthen their spelling skills. With colorful graphics and great sound effects adding to the fun, ALPHABET ZOO lets your children laugh and learn at the same time. Dale Disharoon, author of ALPHABET ZOO, is a teacher, programmer, and classical guitarist who specializes in educational games for young children. Educational Value: ALPHABET ZOO helps children strengthen their letter recognition skills as they associate letters of the alphabet with the sounds they represent. The program also helps sharpen a child's spelling skills. Ages: 3-7
Amazing Bumpman	Telegames	1986	a
Antarctic Adventure	Konami	1984	d	All dressed up and no place to go? Not so with Frostbite Freddie! He's on a goodwill mission, visiting as many bases as he can before time runs out! Catch fish and collect flags for bonus points! And be on the lookout for curious seals and holes in the ice! Speed counts! Is time on your side?* [126]The player takes the role of an Antarctic penguin, racing to disparate research stations owned by different countries in Antarctica. The gameplay is similar to Sega's [url=http://www.uvlist.net/game-1341-Turbo]Turbo[/url], but plays at a much slower pace, and features platform game elements. The penguin, later named Penta, must reach the next station before time runs out while avoiding sea lions and breaks in the ice. Throughout the levels, fish jump out of ice holes and can be caught for bonus points. The game, like many early video games, has no ending – when the player reaches the last station, the game starts from the first level again, but with increased difficulty.

Donkey Kong	Coleco	1982	b	NO, It was created by Nintendo, who authorized Coleco to make reproductions under its license, in an entire legal framework that is absolutely registered, which is why Coleco always presented its version of Donkey Kong, under the Nintendo license. It can be argued who manufactured the catridge, or ported the programming from one system to another, but in terms of creation and development, it is purely Nintendo's. "The difference is that manufacturing is more repetitive steps to have some product over and over again. Software Development is more about creating things almost new, each product is different for each custome"*The little man that you control in-game was originally named Jumpman and was latter renamed to the Mario that you know today. Mario was also a carpenter and latter changed jobs to a plummer.[media=youtube]nI9WwdVb-_A[/media] [126]* [48]* [48]*There are 16K and 24K Digital Data Pack tape versions. Also available on 5¼ disk.
