3D Silicon Fish

Commodore 64, VIC-20 1984

In the distant future, the Earth depends on silicon for its technology. Unfortunately, silicon reserves are running low. A new source of silicon has been located in a distant part of the galaxy. The problem is that it is very dangerous to collect as it has a tendency to explode. Therefore, a mercenary named Sillo is sent to the site with a vehicle known as the Silicon Fisherman to collect this necessary but dangerous material. D Silicon Fish consists of a maze set on a river that floats from the top to the bottom of the screen. The player navigates the maze with his vehicle while searching for the silicon that floats with the current. The silicon is collected by positioning the vehicle towards the part through which the silicon will pass and throwing a net to catch it. However, the player is not alone in the maze. All around him something called a kryllon forms out of nowhere and explodes after a short time. If the player is within range of the explosion, he will die.

Giant's Revenge

Commodore 64 1984

Giant's Revenge is the sequel to Jack and the Beanstalk. Jack was last seen crushing the giant in the depths of the earth. Several months have passed and Jack's life seems to be bland and boring again. One morning he wakes up to find a freshly dug hole under his garden, where the giant had fallen to earth with a huge thud. Jack approaches the hole and sees a strange glow coming from the depths. After exploring its wonders, Jack returns to the side of the hole the giant created, a parchment in his hand. The giant had only been stunned by the fall and had built a series of subway caverns, which are now his domain. The giant seeks revenge and tells Jack that there are many treasures underground, including the 'Elixir of Life'. A series of traps await Jack in the seven caverns. Jack can leap over these traps and can jump to certain points in the caverns, but he must be careful where he steps or he will fall to his death.

Jack and the Beanstalk

Commodore 64 1984

Jack and the Beanstalk has the player control Jack, a young man determined to steal the giant's treasures. The game consists of four levels. In the first level, Jack must climb up a beanstalk to the top while avoiding worms, spiders, and birds. Jack can obtain a weapon in this level and use it to kill them. In the second level, Jack climbs a series of brick walls while avoiding the same enemies, and collects the money bag at the top and exits the screen at the top left. In the third level, Jack climbs up the chimney to reach the golden goose in the cage, and then climbs down a ladder to the bottom. Finally, on level four, Jack has to climb up the giant to reach the table, where a huge bag of money resides. The game ends when Jack completes his objective or when all lives are lost.

The House Jack Built

Commodore 64 1985

After collecting loads of treasure in his two previous adventures, Jack and the Beanstalk and The Giant's Revenge, Jack was able to afford his own house, which has several rooms, some basements and caves, a garden, a large maze and even a roof that leads to the moon, where there are more places to explore. Jack arrives in the living room and has to go through the house collecting items. All this luxury comes at a price for Jack; his pets don't like his new house and have gone crazy. Jack must be careful not to get in their way. Unlike the other two games, the player is free to go wherever he wants, not just along a very narrow, pre-established path. If the player touches any pet, he will lose his life. In this case, Jack returns to the place where he died, instead of having to start over. Scoring is by percentage of objects collected.
