Play 4 Fun in 1 Online

I picked up 4 Fun in 1 for the arcade back in 1985, a release from RetroGaming Studios that bundled four separate games into one cabinet. It was a common approach at the time, offering variety for a single coin, and it felt like a solid deal compared to some of the more focused, expensive titles. You got a little bit of everything without too much commitment, which was perfect for short sessions between classes or waiting for a bus.

You control a different character in each game: a spaceship in a vertical shooter, a knight in a side scrolling platformer, a paddle in a brick breaker, and a car in a simple top down racer. The main goal is just to survive as long as possible and post a high score, since none of the games have an ending. Signature mechanics include dodging patterned enemy fire in the shooter, jumping over bottomless pits in the platformer, and angling rebounds in the brick breaker. The difficulty ramps up aggressively, especially in the shooter and racer, where later stages become nearly overwhelming. It feels like a genuine time capsule, a direct and sometimes punishing slice of mid 80s arcade design.
