This is a compilation of games for the ABC 80 computer.

The following games require a joystick to play:

• Star Wars is an action game in which the player engages in a space dogfight. The player must try to align the sights of their weapon with the imperial ship and shoot them down. There are multiple difficulty levels. The player loses health and points when hit and gains points when shooting down an enemy ship. Enemy ships can also escape for a loss of points.
• Luffs is a computer version of Tic-Tac-Toe.
• Breakout is a computer port of the classic brick breaking action game. The player controls a paddle and bounces a ball at bricks to score points.

• Invasion is an action game in which the player must fight of an invasion of enemy ships. The player starts with 100 points and loses a point for each time they fire. Large amounts of points are gained for hitting and destroying enemy ships. Large amounts of points are lost when getting hit by their bombs or nuclear charges.
• Othello is a computer implementation of the classic game in which players take turns putting their tokens on the board and flipping any enclosed markers to their color. The goal is to have the most board coverage at the end of the game.
