  • Respell: search-and-replace on a typed message.
  • Bumper: steer a moving marker to collect asterisks without hitting the wall.
  • Burt’s Game: a baccarat-style card game played for stakes against the computer.
  • Elecform: seven electrical formulas, including Ohm’s law, reactance, impedance and power.
  • Fifteen: the sliding fifteen puzzle, with straight, reversed and shuffled starts.
  • Infofile: a keyword-searchable file of magazine notes, with editing, printing and tape save.
