Typing Game#

Appears when booting Disk 3. It's a simple minigame in which the player must type the English alphabet as fast as possible, with a mistake causing the game to restart. Upon completing, a time is displayed on-screen, and the game can be manually restarted by pressing Space.

Snake Game#

Appears when booting Disk 4, and then pressing Space. The player controls a snake that always expands and must collect asterisks to become small. Note that a piece of the snake is always left from where it last collected an asterisk. After losing, the game can be restarted by pressing Space.

Sound Test#

Upon booting Disk 5, the game will ask you to switch to Disk 2. Do so and press Space. You will then be redirected to a Sound Test menu.
