Cosmic Guerilla is a two-dimensional fixed shooter game. The player takes control of a laser cannon at the bottom of the screen whose movement is limited to left and right, and must fire at the aliens above. In contrast to Space Invaders the aliens are arranged in a single vertical line on each side of the screen, with their movement being towards the centre, one or more at a time, in an attempt to capture and remove the player's shields. The aliens cannot be hit by the player's shots until they begin to move, and the player may only fire one projectile at a time, preventing weapon spamming. Once a row of shields has been removed, one of the player's "lives", is exposed and able to be captured. Occasionally a very fast "mothership" will appear and traverse the screen just above the player dropping bombs.

Cutie Q is the third in a series that includes Gee Bee and Bomb Bee.

Like its predecessors, Cutie Q plays like a mix of pinball and Breakout style games. The playfield has features derived from pinball games, such as a spinner in the middle, various rollovers, an entry lane for the ball (though without a plunger), and drains in the bottom corners. However, as in Breakout, the ball is unaffected by gravity, and continually bounces. You control a pair of paddles that slide horizontally across the screen, and there are rows of blocks to break.

A legendary single-screen shoot-em-up that took everything that made Taito's ground-breaking "Space Invaders" so good, and improved upon it on every level. Each screen starts with a wave of multi-coloured aliens moving left and right at the top of the screen; the aliens quickly break ranks and start dive-bombomg the player - either in single units or in usergroup of three - dropping multiple missiles as they descend. All of the aliens need to be destroyed before the player can progress to the next wave.

This was the first video game released with 100 percent of its graphics displayed in true R.G.B. color.
