| Program Name | Source | Comments |
|---|---|---|
| 3D Graphic Demo | Tape ? | |
| 3D Tic-Tac-Toe | Tape 17 | October 1981 |
| 3D Tic-Tac-Toe (Improved) | Tape | September 1987 |
| Alien Invasion | Tape 14 | April 1982. Full page in Arcadian, Vol. 4, Pg. 67. |
| Ayatollah Dart Board | Tape 8 | October 1981 |
| Black Lagoon, The | Tape 2 | 1981 |
| Bombardier | Tape 3 | October 1981 |
| Candy Man | Tape 18 | January 1983. This is one of the best looking games for Astro BASIC, and it is also one of the most fun. The sequel to this game was released as a cartridge. Includes review. |
| Claim Jumpers | Tape 1 and Tape 14 | October 1981. This is the classic paper game where there is a grid of dots and two players draw lines between them. Simple, yet highly addictive. One or two players. |
| Crazy Ball | Tape 8 | November 1980 |
| Exitor's Revenge (Demo) | Tape | Full program on Tape 16. Created with Andy Guevara (Bit Fiddlers). |
| Exitor's Revenge | Tape 16 | October 1982. Created with Andy Guevara (Bit Fiddlers). |
| Galactic War 2002 | Tape 9 | December 1980. 300 Baud (Converted to 2000 baud). An Astro BASIC version of this game was released, but this is the only version that would archive. This is a very bland BASIC game- it's VERY early and should NOT be used as an indicator of how good a BASIC program can be. It here for historical purposes, and for use as comparison with program that would come later and show a little more of what BASIC could do. |
| Magic Jack-O-Lantern, The | Tape (Sept 1987) | By Bill Loos of (L&M Software) |
| Meteoroids | Tape 3 | January 1982 |
| Mummy's Treasure, The | Tape 16 | October 1981. Move around by selecting room numbers. Interesting setup. |
| Nautilus | Tape 17 | October 1982. Sequel to Exitor's Revenge. Includes review and demo. |
| River City Gambling | Tape 18 | October 1981. A dice game. |
| Secret of Pellucitor | Tape 15 | September 1982. Written by Greg Miller, with music by George Moses. The standard descriptor file contains the full text of the advertisement (which are instructions, of sorts). There is also a review included. There is a spelling peculiarity with this game. The advertisements in the Arcadian use "Pellucitar," while the tape and program use "Pellucitor." |
| Space Quest | Tape 6 | November 1980. 300 Baud (Converted to 2000 baud). An Astro BASIC version of this game was released, but this is the only version that would archive. This is a very bland BASIC game- it's VERY early and should NOT be used as an indicator of how good a BASIC program can be. It here for historical purposes, and for use as comparison with program that would come later and show a little more of what BASIC could do. |
| Video Tape Screen Utility | Tape | September 1987 |
| What-Zit | BASIC Express, 3, no. 2 (May/June 1981): 22-23. | May/June 1981. This game is very-much like the board game Mastermind-- except you don't need a second player, and the entire game can be played with the hand controller. |
