Play Caltron's 6 In1 Games Online

I picked up Caltron's 6 In1 Games for the NES back in 1989, a cartridge from Caltron Industries Inc. that tried to offer a bit of everything. It was a common type of release for the era, a budget compilation aiming to compete with more polished titles by sheer volume of content.

You control different characters across the six games, from a cop in a 3D style shooter to a man pushing boxes in a warehouse. The main objective changes with each game; you might be popping snake balloons in a platformer, painting floors in a maze, or shooting down enemy ships. Signature mechanics include the screen by screen exploration in the puzzle game Porter, the into the screen shooting in Cosmos Cop, and the single screen platforming of Adam and Eve. The pacing is generally fast, though the difficulty can spike unexpectedly between the different titles. Playing it feels like flipping through a sampler of early arcade and console ideas, some more successful than others.
