Mario vs Luigi by Chris Sumsky, Daniel Sabio, and Sam Rickles.

Release notes:

In this game, a two player battle between the Mario brothers for the love of Princess Peach, Mario (we mapped him to WASD movement and fire button ‘1’) and Luigi (we mapped him to the arrows for movement and fire button ‘space bar’) are controlled by humans with goal of traveling to the middle to pick up Princess Peach (by running into her) and then carrying her back to your starting point. Running into the other player will steal Peach, and shooting them with a fireball will send Peach back to the middle. Scoring resets the screen for a new skirmish on a new map, and 5 scores by a player wins the game! Space bar will reset from the win screen. Good luck and enjoy!

Falldown is a relatively simple game in which the player controls a ball which falls indefinitely to the right. You control the ball by moving the joy stick up and down. You lose when the walls push your ball all the way to the left side of the screen. There is no way to win, you are just trying to get the high score. When you lose you move the joystick to the right to start the game over.

Espionage is a one-player game wherein one takes the role of a spy trying to steal data from the computer-controlled police. The basic premise is a game of capture the flag, with the court divided into two portions: the computer’s side containing the flag, the playfield, and the defender against the player’s side containing a base to capture the flag. Only the player can cross the line between both sides.
