The game of Astro Fighter consists of 4 waves and a refueling stage, which are then repeated with increasingly higher difficulty. The player's task is to eliminate the four successive waves of different types of attacking craft, while avoiding being hit by missiles and bombs, and then refuel by shooting the 'GS' ship before repeating the process. The player starts with 3 lives and receives a bonus life on reaching a score of 5000. 300 bonus points are received for shooting each 6 falling bombs and for 950 for hitting the GS ship accurately on the first shot. A very large bonus of 10,000 is given for getting through 4 waves and refueling by using exactly 2 shots more than the minimum needed. As the higher levels of Astro Fighter are difficult to survive consistently, even for the best players, the highest scores have been achieved by the achieving the 10,000 bonus deliberately.

Meikyuu Hunter G is a multi-directional shooter arcade game which got released by Data East Corporation in 1987, only in Japan; however, it was later adapted by Data East USA as The Real Ghostbusters (under the license from Columbia Pictures Television, as it had been based on their animated series of the same name) for the United States later that year, and added a third yellow-suited player (Egon Spengler, as the unnamed blue- and red-suited protagonists for this original Japanese version became Peter Venkman and Ray Stantz). Two extra stages and an ending sequence were also added for the US version as the original Japanese one started over after the eighth one, along with several new powerups (including Slimer, although he is only referred to as "Green Ghost") and ghosts that appear after the unnamed enemies are killed (which can be beamed up, and put into "Ghost Storage" at the end of a stage); beaming up 100 ghosts is worth an extra life.
A "Galaxian" type game. Shoot the flashing car (alien) on the screen the clear the level. HWY (pronounced Highway) Chase was released in December 1980 in the Japanese arcades. It was the very first video game made for this system (Cassette No. 01) along with Sengoku Ninja-tai (known as Ninja out of Japan) and Manhattan. It is said the title HWY Chase (HWY instead of Highway) was selected to easily recycle source code and materials made for 'Mad Rider', released earlier as a PCB, and known as 'Mad Alien' out of Japan.

Heavy Smash portrays a futuristic, armored, no-rules version of handball. The player is allowed to select one of various national teams (plus a robot team with a space station as home turf), some of them with an unique armor design reflecting some kind of perceived national tradition (a samurai armor for Japan and a sort of sci-fi football outfit or USA, for example) and some other being just palette swaps. Each team has a distinctive special shot, which has to be loaded up with a power gauge and each team member, in addition to tackling and roughing up opponents with no penalty whatsoever, can even perform a ranged attack in order to gain ball control. At its core, it's the typical “win or go home” coin-op sports game, with increasing difficulty and opponent skill each match.
