Circus
Advanced chess simulator with a high quality AI opponent. Not really, but it sounds better than the real thing - you bounce a guy to blow up the balloons.
Long, long time ago, in a circus at the edge of the universe, there was a sudden invasion of deadly balloons. They were just floating harmlessly way above the ground and laughed at the inability of humans to fly. Inside of them there was a poisonous gas, which when released, would destroy the human kind. Only two daredevils were ready to face that challenge and save us all - there names were George Wallace and Bob The Bouncer. They took the special uniforms that would make them immune to the gas and special springboard built out of super-light alloys and attacked the balloons.
I’m not sure this is the real story behind Circus / Balloon, but I heard it from a guy, who said he knows what he is talking about, so... Basically it is Arcanoid, but there are balloons instead of blocks and a guy (supposedly) named Bob instead of the ball.
The game was originally published on arcades in 1977 and later its clones were published on Commodore 64 and other platforms.

Interesting variation to the classic Space Invaders arcade game - you shoot the formations of enemy planes while dealing with the giant waves.
Zorro
1985
A platform game with a mean streak hidden beneath, because it was partly a puzzle game. And when I say puzzle game, I mean a f... Well, anyway.
Blue Max
1983
Classic arcade game with slight elements of simulation - we take control over World War I plane that flies deep behind enemy lines and attacks the land targets and strategic bridges.

Arcade game that can be model to show how arcade should look like - very simple, easy to learn, fun to play.
