GAMBOL (unexpanded VIC): Collect the white energy containers. You can move boulders as well. Beware of the monsters.

Interesting, the music is "Walzing Matilda", a traditional Australian song - you will hear Aussie Rugby Union fans sing it at international games after the national anthem has been played. IMO, it is actually a more stirring and patriotic tune for members of a penal colony. It tells the story of of a man, who after stealing a sheep, dives into a billabong (pond) and drowns rather than being caught by the authorities

Here is a short video, yes I know this is at a soccer game :D

I agree.
A game called Question Marks where "the magician looks at me weird" is definitely worthy of a translation!

KUPKA-KOLA (unexpanded VIC): Put the empty bottles on the lower conveyor belt onto the top conveyor belt. You can hold up to three empty bottles at once. If you need to stop the belt you can do so three times by hitting the space-bar. After you sorted 10 empty bottles in the bonus round try to remember the music and replay it with keys 1 to 5.

PAC (+8K): Another Pac Man-clone. This is one uses a very large screen.

Tokra, thank you very much for this huge work of preservation. A lot of games were fun to play, with some real gems. They really give us the flavour of those days, when typing games in and save them to tape was the only way to play :wink: .
