Games
All games were conceptualized by Mac Senour, the producer for both the hardware and the software.
- Frontline : A rail shooter where players engage in combat with enemy vehicles in the desert (probably a reference to Operation Desert Storm).
- Pest control! : A shooting game where players defend a pizza from insects while in the dark.
- Ready, Aim, Tomatoes! , tomato shooter with ToeJam and Earl in which players assume the role of ToeJam who is shooting tomatoes at many of the enemies from ToeJam & Earl, including boogeymen, mad dentists, and even a battalion of chickens who use a tomato cannon.
- Rockman's Zone: another rail shooter which players shoot at cutouts of criminals while trying to avoid shooting cutouts of innocent civilians.
- Space Station Defender: a sci-fi shooter where players fight against extraterrestrial aliens which appear in pods. This game is notable for allowing players to select whether they want to play the game using a fixed pattern or a pattern where the aliens appear randomly.
- Whackball! : The only game in the Menacer 6-game cartridge where shooting is not involved. Instead, the player uses the menacer as a mouse to strike a ball in an attempt to change the color of the tiles before time runs out.
