About
1K Games Pack is a collection of 11 games and programs on a single tape. The compilation includes Slot Machine, where you start with 10p and spend 1p per play to match three identical numbers for 10p or make a total of seven for 5p; Etch and Sketch, a cursor-based drawing program for creating pictures and shapes; and Slalom, in which you align with descending gates without hitting or missing them.
Other games include Catch Me If You Can, where you move an X to catch a moving O; Space Pirate, which challenges you to dock a descending spaceship with a ship moving across the screen; and Spacefire 1 and Spacefire 2, competitive shooting games in which you and the computer fire bullets at one another, with the computer also moving left in Spacefire 2.
Car Crash has you drive down the screen while avoiding vehicles and the road edges. In Man-Eating Budgies, you avoid upward-moving budgies while collecting their eggs. Maze requires you to navigate an upward-scrolling maze without hitting the walls. The Wall has you move right while removing every section of a slowly rising wall.
