Brick

Commodore PET - Released - July 5, 1978

Brick is a one-button game in which the player must prevent a brick from breaking a window. The brick is thrown at the window with a variable speed. Halfway its flight the brick will turn invisible. The player can stop the brick in mid-air and any given time by pressing the Y button. The closer the brick is to the window (without breaking it) the more points the player scores. Breaking the window costs the player many points. The average of all throws counts. Published in Cursor Magazine issue #1.

Godzilla

Commodore 64 - Released - 1983

Godzilla threatens Japan and it’s up to the player to use the combined force of Japan’s army, navy, air force, and nuclear arsenal to defeat him. Godzilla is a turn-based game played out over Japan and its surrounding waters which are mapped out on a grid. Godzilla starts randomly on the map and moves erratically from tile to tile. On the player’s turn, the player can attack Godzilla with available units in the same sector as Godzilla, move units to an adjacent sector, launch a missile at Godzilla or authorize an atomic strike. At the end of each turn, the game tallies the damage done to Godzilla and the corresponding loss to Japanese forces and the civilian population. The game ends either with Godzilla’s death or with Godzilla victorious over a devastated Japan. Published in the book "Commodore 64 - Fun and Games" / Digital Marketing PD #103
