Dark Arms features a girl, Meghan Loughlin, whose job is to defeat and contain an outbreak of demons and act as a mediator between this world and the next.
The player can collect the spirits of the various demons and zombies they fight in the game with a gun known as “The Catcher”.
The player-character can then use captured spirits to ‘feed’ their weapons and evolve them into more powerful forms. For example, the Handgun evolves into the Sub Shotgun, which can evolve further into the Shotgun.
Batman Returns on the Atari Lynx is a side-scrolling action-beat ’em up game where players take control of Batman through four increasingly difficult stages fighting against multiple adversaries such as the Red Triangle Gang in order to stop both Catwoman and the Penguin from spreading terror across Gotham City as the main objective.

The second stage pits Batman against the police on the rooftops with Catwoman as the end level boss. The third stage is about defeating Penguin’s forces in the sewers, while the Penguin is fought for the last time in the fourth stage.
Along the way, Batman can grab a variety of items to aid him on his journey against enemies such as batarangs and bat-shaped health pickups.

Cool Cool Jam is a
In Cool Cool Jam, your object is to form a band. You can choose between a boy and a girl, and from there on you walk through town, jamming with villagers and ‘Men With Hats.’
If you do well, you get pieces of instruments. To jam, you first have to please people by clapping to a certain tune.
Each instrument requires you to hold your NGP in a different position, and the controls are different for each instrument. To play the guitar, for example, you have to hold your NGP upside-down. The strings are controlled with the two buttons, and you pull them with the joystick. You have to pluck the strings when the matching color reaches the respective string’s end.
The mysterious enemy known as DOH has returned to seek vengeance on the Vaus space vessel. The player must once again take control of the Vaus (paddle) and overcome many challenges in order to destroy DOH once and for all.
Revenge of Doh sees the player battle through 34 rounds, taken from a grand total of 64.

Arkanoid is a block breaker video game. Its plot involves the starship Arkanoid being attacked by a mysterious entity from space named DOH. A small paddle-shaped craft, the Vaus, is ejected from the Arkanoid.
In Arkanoid, players maneuver a paddle-shaped craft named the Vaus along the bottom of the screen.
The player controls the “Vaus”, a space vessel that acts as the game’s “paddle” which prevents a ball from falling from the playing field, and attempts to bounce the ball against a number of bricks. The ball striking a brick causes the brick to disappear.
When all the bricks are gone, the player advances to the next level, where another pattern of bricks appears. There are power-up capsules to assist the player (expand the Vaus, multiply the number of balls, equip a laser cannon, break directly to the next level, extra Vaus, etc.), but the gameplay remains the same.
On the final stage the player takes on the game’s boss, “DOH”. Once this point is reached, the player no longer has the option to continue after running out of lives, making this segment more difficult.
The game is over regardless of the outcome.
