Synopsis :
Catch! Pixel and Atari are bored and want some new cat toys to play with!
Tanya, Darcy and Aerlan decide to head over to the local Pong arena to collect some bouncy balls for the cats to have fun with. There’s only one problem, James needs to start the ZPH show soon!
Help James gather his friends and convince them to come back to the ZeroPage studios, otherwise the show will start late!
This game is for two players and you get to choose which character will face James.
Good luck… for the cats!
Gameplay
James Goal: Prevent the ZPH Crew from gathering the balls bouncing around the screen, the lower the score at the end of the game the better. ZPH Crew Goal: Catch as many balls as possible for the cats to play with, the higher the score the better. Pong Wave:
James: Every time you catch a ZPH Crew member, the status bar goes down. The status bar will turn yellow when it gets low and red when it’s critical. Once the status bar reaches zero, the game ends. The balls collected by your opponent determines your score, the lower the better. ZPH Crew: Score 1 point for each ball collected. Every 20 points, it switches to the Boss Wave. The more points the better. Boss Wave (Pixel Cat):
James: Capture Pixel Cat six (6) times within 35 seconds to win the game immediately. Be mindful that each capture of Pixel restores one (1) square to the Status Bar, delaying James' ability to win if he returns to the arena. Pixel Cat: Avoid capture by James in order to return to Pong Wave so the ZPH Crew can gather more cat toys. Hint: If you’re feeling brave, you can deliberately get captured to build up your status bar, but make sure you don’t get captured more than five (5) times! End of Game:
The game ends when either the Status Bar reaches zero or Pixel Cat is caught six (6) times.

Synopsis :
E.X.O (Elite Xeno Operations.)
Your objective is to rescue your 4 team mates who are all inconveniently being held in different places.
You also need to foil an alien plot to destroy the Earth and wipe out Humanity. How rude.
Controls
Button 1 is mapped to lasers (useful for softer targets, mines, probes). Button 2 is mapped to rockets. (default is a "down" rocket, rockets can be flicked upwards by using up + button 2. Up activates thrust / engines. left and right to move left and right. Select = Bail out - only works on screen 1 of any world (used if you select the wrong level to try by mistake). See the in-game "how to play" for more details. Gameplay & Objective
Each level has a generator and a security code. To rescue the team member and leave the level, you need both. Each level also has a hidden Key Stone. Switches are used to unlock the rooms containing the Key Stones. When the final Key Stone is unlocked the screen will screen shake, notifying you something has changed in the level. You will not be able to get to the security code until you have disabled the generator and weakened the security systems that block the way. (TLDR : Generator -> Security Code -> Exit -> Boss). Rockets are limited, use them sparingly! replenishments can be found, usually 1 crate on each world. Life & Death
If you lose your ship, you will restart at either the beginning of the level or the most recently activated restart point. Restart points look like TV's, fly into them to activate them, when they are active, they are green.

Synopsis :
"Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration takes players on an interactive journey through 50 years of video games via interviews with designers, developers and industry leaders, documentary footage, product design documents, high-resolution original artwork, and a specially-curated list of more than 90 playable games. 
At the heart of Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration are the Interactive Timelines, which combine historical trivia, digital artifacts, all-new video interviews, and playable games into one singular experience. When you encounter a game in the Timeline, you can immediately play it without losing your place. 
The massive list of games spans six original Atari console and home computer platforms and generations of arcade titles, the most ever included in a collection by the team at Digital Eclipse. For the first time ever, games from the cult favorite Atari Jaguar and Atari Lynx platforms will be playable on modern consoles. Behind every game are the stories of Atari, what was happening at the company, what went into the creation of the games and the hardware on which they ran, all told by the people who were there. It is a rare opportunity to get a rich behind-the-scenes look at the history of video games. 
In addition to presenting these Atari classics exactly as they were, the talented team at Digital Eclipse has also created the Reimagined series—six new games that revisit, mash-up and reimagine Atari Classics. Each of these new games is included in Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration."

Todd Furmanski's "Harpy's Curse" for the Atari 7800 is now available on the Atari VCS!
You are a harpy - swift of wing and vicious in nature. Banished to a deadly labyrinth, you are tasked with defeating the four keepers of the maze - only then can you face the Great Sphinx, who exiled you here. The labyrinth contains legendary artifacts - feathers of legendary birds and beasts that might aid you. Power might be found here, but you genuinely wish for escape, and the only way out is through the Sphinx.
• Explore a vast scrolling maze made up of over 500 screens!

• Fly and fight your way to find new abilities and powers!

• Five bosses to find hidden among the winding passages!
Note:
The game does work with the Modern Controller, but the emulator has a feature that can lead to frustration.  Currently, the emulator has the L3 (the left joystick button) mapped as a Game Reset.  This makes it very easy to reset your game amid play.  This button mapping will get updated very soon.  For now, the Joystick is the best way to play the game, but you can play with the Modern Controller if you know the L3 issue.
