China Syndrome

Spectravision

After an earthquake has damaged the nuclear reactor of Spectra Island it is your task to prevent its meltdown. To do this you are in control of a robot arm with which you can grab the free-flying particles preferably before they have time to split and therefore raising the radiation level. The screen is separated into three sections from top to bottom (red, blue and yellow). Every section has an indicator at the bottom of the screen telling you where the radiation level is getting to high and therefore enabling you to decide on which section to concentrate your efforts for the moment. In later levels your have to be careful not to damage the circulation fans or you lose one robot arm. The game is over either after you have lost all your robot arms or you have cleared the ninth and final stage.

Gangster Alley

Spectravision

A gang of gangsters has holed themselves up in an apartment building and taken some hostages. The player has to shoot the gangsters as they slowly creep up behind the windows but at the same time has to avoid shooting any hostages. After the gangsters have appeared completely behind their windows they will shoot back at the player. Therefore the player has to act quickly. The same goes for Nitro Ed who is pacing along the top of the roof and throws hand grenades which will result in instant death, no matter how many lives the players has left.

Cross Force

Spectravision

You are in control of two space ships on opposite sides of the screen. Whenever you fire a shot, the lasers of the two ships will connect across the whole screen and destroy anything that gets caught in the crossfire - except the hostile mothership deploying new enemy fighters. Since your lasers can overheat you should only use controlled bursts of fire and since you can ran out of fuel it is imperative to shoot down the fuel pods as they appear on screen.

Master Builder

Spectravision

You are shown a construction for five seconds. Your task then is to build that construction from memory using bricks which the player can find on the left and right sides of the screen. You have to watch out for a dog which will run into you if you don't dodge it, as well for a kid who will steal your ladder. As your construction gets higher you will also have to watch out for bolts of lightening from a thunderstorm. If your replica is correct and you are at the top of the building a helicopter will carry you off to the next construction site.
