Gauntlet is a fantasy-themed hack-and-slash arcade game developed and released in 1985 as one of the first multiplayer dungeon crawl games. The core design of Gauntlet comes from 1983 8-bit dungeon crawler, Dandy, and also bears striking resemblance to the action-adventure maze game Time Bandit. The arcade version of Gauntlet was released in November 1985 and was initially available only as a dedicated four-player cabinet and a two-player cabinet variant in June 1986, aimed at operators who didn’t have sufficient space for the four-player version. The game is set within a series of top-down, third-person, orthographic mazes where the object is to find and touch the designated exit in every level.

Robotron: 2084 (also referred to as just Robotron) is a multidirectional arcade shooter released in 1982. The game is set in a fictional world in the year 2084 where robots have turned against humans in a cybernetic revolt. The aim is to defeat endless waves of robots, rescue surviving humans, and earn as many points as possible. A two-joystick setup was implemented to provide the player with more precise controls, and enemies with different behaviors were added to make the game challenging. Gameplay was designed to instill panic in players by presenting them with conflicting goals and having on-screen projectiles coming from multiple directions.

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.

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.

'PuckMan' was the original Japanese title of what would be one of the biggest arcade games of all time. Released in Japan in May 1980, the name was changed to 'PacMan' for international releases later that year as a preventative measure against defacement of the arcade machines by changing the P to an F by those wacky English-speaking kids with their permanent markers.
