Contra is a run and gun video game developed as a coin-op arcade game in 1986 and released in 1987.

Home ports were released in 1988 for computers and consoles, which were also a critical and commercial success. Contra is set in the distant future of the year 2633 A.D., when the evil Red Falcon Organization have set a base on the fictional Galuga Archipelago near New Zealand in a plot to wipe out humanity. Two commandos, Bill Rizer and Lance Bean of the Earth Marine Corp's Contra unit, are sent to the island to destroy the enemy forces and uncover the true nature of the alien entity controlling them.

Tempest is an arcade game released in 1981 that is notable for being the first video game with a selectable difficulty. The game is a Tube Shooter, where the environment is fixed, but is viewed from a 3D perspective. The object is to survive while shooting aliens as they attack from the player controlled spaceship along the near edge of the playfield. The game has 16 unique screens, some of which are tubes that allow the player to fly 360° while others are left to right open fields. When all 16 screens have been played, the sequence repeats with different colors and increased difficulty. Each sequence of levels adds faster and more deadly enemies. The numbered levels stop incrementing after level 99 and become random.

Captain N: The Game Master is a series that aired on television from 1989 to 1991 as part of the Saturday morning cartoon lineup. The show incorporated elements from many of the most popular video games of the time, and also spawned a comic book version, though it was actually different from the show in many ways. At the outset of the first episode the hero of the series, Kevin Keene, a teenager from Los Angeles, California, and his dog Duke are sucked into a vortex called the Ultimate Warp Zone that formed in his television, taking them to another universe known as Videoland. To fulfill an ancient prophecy, Kevin is destined to become the hero "Captain N: The Game Master" and save Videoland from evil forces.

Joust is an action game developed by Williams that released in arcades in 1982, and began porting to consoles and PC's the following year. While not the first two-player cooperative video game, Joust's success and polished implementation popularized the concept. Player 1 rides an ostrich, player 2 a stork. Repeatedly pressing the flap button gains altitude, while a two-directional joystick controls direction. In a collision with enemy knights riding buzzards—or the other player—the higher rider dismounts the other. The game was well-received by players and critics, and the mechanics influenced other games. Joust was ported to numerous home systems and was followed by a more complex and less popular arcade sequel in 1986.

Zork is a text-based fantasy adventure game series that was first released in 1977 under the title Dungeon. The game was made for PCs, the first version being made for the PDP-10. The game features no graphics or art, and is entirely text based, playing out like an interactive book.

MoonPatrol is a Japanese arcade video game developed and released by Irem in 1982 and licensed to Williams for distribution in North America. The player controls a moon buggy which can jump over and shoot obstacles on a horizontally scrolling landscape as well as shoot aerial attackers. Designed by Takashi Nishiyama, MoonPatrol is often credited with the introduction of full parallax scrolling in side-scroller games. MoonPatrol was among the five top-grossing arcade games on North America’s monthly RePlay charts by January 1983 and received a Certificate of Merit in the category of “1984 Best Science Fiction/ Fantasy Video Game” at the 5th annual Arkie Awards.

ColecoVision is a second-generation home video-game console developed by Coleco that launched in August 1982. Launching with an initial catalog of twelve games on ROM cartridge, the console offered a closer experience to more powerful arcade games than competitors. Approximately 136 games were published between 1982 and 1984. Coleco released a series of hardware add-ons and special controllers to expand the capabilities of the console. "Expansion Module #1" allowed the system to play competitor games, and a later module that converted ColecoVision into the Adam home computer. Ironically, the ColecoVision was discontinued in 1985 after the costly failure of the Adam, resulting in Coleco withdrawing from the video game market altogether.

On-Line Systems was renamed Sierra On-Line in 1982, and they moved to Oakhurst, California. The "Sierra" name was taken from the Sierra Nevada mountain range that Oakhurst was near, and its new logo incorporated the imagery of a mountain reflecting that. By early 1984, InfoWorld estimated that Sierra was the world's 12th-largest microcomputer-software company, with $12.5 million in 1983 sales. Sierra became a public company in 1989, trading on the NASDAQ under the stock ticker "SIER". Additional investment from public funding allowed the company to engage in further acquisitions over the next several years. In 1990, Sierra released King's Quest V, the first Sierra On-Line game ever to have more than 500,000 copies sold.

Crystal Castles is an arcade game released in 1983 where the player controls a bear who has to collect gems located throughout trimetric-projected rendered castles while avoiding enemies, some of whom are after the gems as well. Crystal Castles is one of the first arcade action games with an ending, instead of continuing indefinitely, looping, or ending in a kill screen, and to contain advance warp zones. Crystal Castles has nine levels with four castles each, and a tenth level with a single castle—the clearing of which ends the game. Each of the 37 castles consists of a maze of hallways filled with gems and bonus objects and also includes stairs, elevators and tunnels that the player can use as shortcuts.
