In this book of listings for the Commodore 64, the authors have attempted to include games to suit everyone's tastes. There are fast-action arcade type games using both sprites and user-defined characters.

There are also word games and adventure programs: the programs have been produced using the Commodore VIC-1520 plotter printer to give clear listings. This printer however does not reproduce the control character symbols or the graphics character available in the Commodore 64 character set.

Instead it produces its own set of symbols to replace these: a complete list of the symbols and their meanings is given though and Rem statements have been included where possible in the program listings themselves to explain the symbols.

A sample of the games in the book are Space Challenge, Worms Alive, Treasure Trove, Robot Attack, One-armed Bandit, Gunfighter, Battleships, Missile Base, Time Maze, Realm Of The Undead, Hangman and Nine-hole Golf.
