[2] Atari marketed the games as being good for the development of hand-to-eye coordination.

The first game is a Space Invaders clone called Chickenvaders in which Captain Link Hogthrob runs along the bottom of the screen firing sausages at egg-dropping chickens, and at Gonzo who occasional flies across the top of the screen in a flying saucer.

The second is Pastaroids, a Frogger clone in which Miss Piggy must dodge flying pasta and meatballs to cross the screen from bottom to top to reach the ship USS Swinetrek.

[1][3] The game was designed by Michael Sierchio in collaboration with Jim Henson, and programmed by Bill Aspromonte, Robert Zdybel, and John Russell.

[7] In the 2011 book Classic Home Video Games, 1972-1984 A Complete Reference Guide, Brett Weiss gave a mixed review as "derivative (if nice looking) games" and criticized especially Escape from the Planet of the Gonzoids, which he described as a "dull, repetitious shooter".
