Bullseye	Creative Computing	1978	Bullseye is a simple text-based simulation of the perennial pub game of Darts, for up to 20(!) players. The target board is divided into zones of 10, 20, 30 and 40 points, and each player in turn selects a move: fast overarm, controlled overarm, or underarm - the type of throw dictates the probable outcome. Once all throws have been scored, a new round begins, until one or more players win by reaching 200 points.

Life for Two	Creative Computing	1979	Life II is a two-player game based on the rules of Conway's Game of Life. Both players start out with three live pieces that they may place anywhere on a five by five grid. The pieces will then behave like in Conway's Game of Life: Any live cell with fewer than two live neighbours dies, as if caused by under-population. Any live cell with two or three live neighbours lives on to the next generation. Any live cell with more than three live neighbours dies, as if by overcrowding. Any dead cell with exactly three live neighbours becomes a live cell, as if by reproduction. After each turn the players may place an additional piece. The goal of the game remains elusive.

Concentration	Millennium Group	1984	Five variants of Concentration and a tutorial game to teach players how to select items on a grid by typing Letter+Number (therefore how to play). Three variants of increasing difficulty are 1 player. The last two of increasing difficulty are 2 player only (no computer players provided). When one player has scored more than half of the available points, they game ends and they are declared the winner. Each variant has two or three difficulty levels as well. The hardest game is Morse Code Concentration. At the hardest level, when a card is selected, a Morse Code is played from the Apple's speaker and the visual image on the card is not shown. When a match is made, a visual of what the code represents is shown on the cards. Thus, it teaches Morse Code.
