A sports game as the name implies, is a foosball game. A couple of players control three lines of players: the goalkeeper, three center defenders, and two assailants. To control the goalkeeper, the player to one side needs to utilize the up-left and down-left headings of the joystick. To control the center defenders, the player utilizes the all-over bearings. To control the aggressors, the player utilizes the up-right and down-right headings. The contrary applies to the right player.
The ball stops each time it contacts a moving footman and bounces back on the off chance that it contacts a still one. The score is set apart with "/" (for one point) and "X" (for two places) images. The game finishes when one of the players arrives at ten places (XXXXX).

A 2-player tank game. Is one of Ataris launch titles. This game is where where the players attempt to shoot each others tanks or planes. Hitting the enemy vehicle pushes it back and gives the player one point. The game contains 27 levels, each of which has different rules and playing field layout. On the tank levels, the players have a selection of two different mazes or no walls at all, while on the plane levels, the players can choose to play with clouds that obscure part of the screen. The Atari 2600 difficulty settings can be used to change the range of a players missiles, as well as the speed of ones airplanes in levels 15-27. All games have a time limit of 136 seconds.
The levels include:
1-5: Tank levels. Levels 3 and 5 are straight missile levels where the players projectiles simply fly forward. On the guided missile levels (1, 2, 4) the projectiles can be controlled with a joystick after firing.
6-9: Tank-pong levels, where the players missiles bounce off walls. In the billiard hit levels (8 and 9), theres an additional rule that a missile must bounce at least once before it can hit the enemy tank.
10 and 11: Invisible tank levels, where the tanks only become briefly visible when they shoot, bump into a wall, or are hit by a missile. Both of these give the players guided missiles.
12-14: Invisible tank-pong levels. Levels 13 and 14 use the billiard hit rule.
15-20: Biplane levels, where the players fly planes that are constantly moving forward and wrap around to the other side when they fly off the screen. Levels 15 and 19 use guided missiles; 16 and 20 use straight missiles; on 17 and 18, the players use rapid-fire machine guns. Additionally, level 19 is a 2 vs. 2 level - both players have two planes each that move and shoot together - and level 20 is 1 vs. 3, where one player has three planes while the other has a single large plane.
21-27: Jet fighter levels. The jet planes move faster than biplanes, but other than that gameplay remains similar. 22, 24, and 27 are straight missile levels, the rest are guided-missile levels. Additionally, 25 and 27 are 2 vs. 2 levels, while 26 is a 1 vs. 3 level.")
