Grid is an original arcade game from Chromasette. It is a two player only strategy style game. The object is to fill in as much of the grid with your player's color (either red or blue). One does this by "tagging" the player's start square (where the yellow box is behind the player's side of the board). Then using the joystick, the player moves along squares of their own color, until they get to one they don't. Pressing the joystick button while facing the direction the player wants to capture will change that square to the player's color, and then the player has to navigate back to their "home" square and click the button to reload.
Each player also has 4 bombs (designated by the yellow dots on the player's side of the board). The player needs to navigate to their square that is next to the bombs in order to pick on up (using the button). Then the player can move and click the button to take over any square to their own color (including any owned by their opponent). If a player gets cut off so that they can not return to their home base square, they can hold the button down for 10 seconds, which will then teleport the player back to their home square.
