	Caterpillar By A.R.D. 1982. Gamepack G1. Paul Thacker's August 1, 2021 archive notes for this program say, "It's a Centipede clone. Move left and right with the joystick and pull the trigger to shoot at the caterpillar and occasional spiders. You only fire when lined up with the spider or the head of the caterpillar. There's no up or down motion, so you lose a life if the caterpillar or spider reaches the bottom of the screen. The speed is good for BASIC, but it gets difficult to see the caterpillar through the background mushrooms as the game progresses." This is an excerpt from a review first published in "The Game Player" column #4 by Michael Prosise in ARCADIAN 5, no. 3 (Jan. 14, 1983): 50. This review covers Gamepack G1: "CATERPILLAR is very similar to the coin-op CENTIPEDE. In this game, you control the left-right movement of a shooting device at the bottom of the screen, and try to shoot the head off of a slowly descending "caterpillar" and an occasional spider. Again, this game does not appear to be written in Machine Language and thus plays somewhat slowly, but not too slowly. Our players found the game "cumbersome."" This archive includes three screenshots (two from the MAME emulator and one small jpg from real hardware) of the game and a full review of Gamepack G1. Caterpillar (Screenshot) - This PNG image is taken from a video of this game played on a CRT screen.

	Galactic Hitchhiker By A.R.D. 1982. Gamepack G1. Paul Thacker's August 1, 2021 archive notes for this program say, "I found it difficult to figure out how to play this, an opinion shared by the review in Arcadian volume 5, issue 3. I think you use the joystick to steer around obstacles rushing toward you in a first person view. But I'm not sure what you're supposed to do when it tells you to avoid rays." This is an excerpt from a review first published in "The Game Player" column #4 by Michael Prosise in ARCADIAN 5, no. 3 (Jan. 14, 1983): 50. This review covers Gamepack G1: "GALACTIC HITCHHIKER is an exercise in frustration. It is extremely difficult to play. In fact, three players simply threw up their hands and walked away, and the others eventually gave up trying to merely understand the game. GALACTIC HITCHHIKER should go take a hike." This archive includes a screenshot of the game, a full review of Gamepack G1, and some notes about the program by Ken Lill.
