Typing Game

Appears when booting Disk 3. It's a simple minigame in which the player must type the english alphabet as fast as possible, with a mistake causing the game to restart. Upon completing, a time is displayed on screen, and the game can be manually restarted by pressing Space.

Snake Game

Appears when booting Disk 4, and then pressing Space. The player controls a snake that always expands and must collect asterisks to become small. Note that a piece of the snake is always left from where it last collected an asterisk. After losing, the game can be restarted by pressing Space.

Sound Test

Upon booting Disk 5, the game will ask you to switch to Disk 2. Do so and press Space. You will then be redirected to a Sound Test menu.
