White Butterfly by Linley Henzell is a vertical shoot ’em up with 3 stages. There are four playable ships (plus one unlockable one) – each ship has three different attacks.

Clock by KHS is a digital seven-segment 24-hour clock. Set the time with arrows, toggle between NTSC and PAL with A button, toggle the visibility of unlit segments with B, and press start to start the clock. The clock should be more accurate than exactly 50 (PAL) or 60 (NTSC) frames per second.

24 Balls by KHS shows 24 16*16-pixel balls that bounce off walls. The balls don’t flicker because there’s never more than four of them (eight sprites) per scanline. (That’s because there are no more than two balls per scanline at the beginning and all balls have the same vertical velocity.) The color palette changes every 8th frame.
