The player controls Pac-Man through a maze, eating pac-dots. When all dots are eaten, Pac-Man is taken to the next stage, between some stages one of three intermission animations plays. Four enemies (Blinky, Pinky, Inky and Clyde) roam the maze, trying to catch Pac-Man. If an enemy touches Pac-Man, a life is lost. When all lives have been lost, the game ends.

Invaders from space have landed on Earth, but you have a housewarming gift they're not going to like. Hop into your Solvalou and take back Earth in Xevious, part of the NES Classics Series on the Game Boy Advance. In this vertical-scrolling game, it's up to you to shoot air targets and bomb ground forces in the effort to bring down the alien motherships. Each level contains hidden bonus points, extra lives, and more secrets.

The Adventure of Link bears little resemblance to the first game in the series. The Adventure of Link features side-scrolling areas within a larger world map rather than the bird's eye view of the previous title. The game incorporates a strategic combat system and more RPG elements, including an experience points (EXP) system, magic spells, and more interaction with non-player characters (NPCs). Link has extra lives; no other game in the series includes this feature.

The game features sprawling levels with numerous puzzles and features a multiplayer mode that supports up to 64 players at www.captainclaw.com. The Internet site includes a player forum, a high-scores listing, rankings, art, tips and codes, a treasure guide, and many Claw site links as well.

Sticks and stones might make him groan, but clay really ticks him off! Bad Mister Frosty is the name, and action is the game. Fists and feet will fly (and other parts) as Frosty and his friends smack it out in head-to-head fighting action.

Bad Mister Frosty is buffed up and faster than greased lightning. This surly snowman has mayhem on his mind... but there's some bunny new in town with a hare-trigger temper. You can bet the fur will fly as this wild hare unleashes a barrage of blistering rabbit punches on Bad Mister Frosty. Could there be a new top bunny in town, or will he get his cottontail kicked?

Clay Fighter 63 1/3 is categorized as a beat 'em up and was released by developer and publisher Interplay in 1997. It uses stop motion animation and claymation as opposed to traditional computer animation to produce a unique effect. Play characters like Bad Mr. Frosty (a snowman gone terribly bad), Bonker the nightmare clown or even choose a green, slimy Blob; each fighter has his own fighting style and a range of moves that no clay animated character has ever attempted before, including throwing chickens, clay and plenty of other objects.
