• Zuma: Patterned after Tetris, in Zuma, you have to obliterate the balls by shooting one and have it line up with similarly-colored ones in the line. One ball is added after every second, pushing the balls closer to the “black hole.” Prevent this by clearing all the balls in the level.
• Pac-man: This is one of the more famous Nintendo games during the 80’s. Eat up all the dots in the level while avoiding being caught by the rag-like enemies, which you can also eat if you devour any of the four power-ups within the stage.
