The player gets to race on 16 different Indy tracks across the U.S., with some tracks also in Canada and Australia.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker 

 Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is an arcade game based loosely on the 1988 movie. You and two other friends play as Michael Jackson dressed as his 'Smooth Criminal' alter ego whose mission it is to rescue all the children kidnapped by the evil Mr. Big. You have to blast all the various baddies that come at you in various waves while searching for the kidnapped children scattered around the various levels. Sometimes a rescued child will give you health which is represented as a health bar which deteriorates if you are touched or shot by the baddies. To help you on your quest you have a limited supply of smart-bombs which sees MJ start dancing with the baddies before they all die when activated. Also on each level you can see Bubbles the Chimp and if touched you turn into a robot who can now fire lasers.

Michael Jackson's Moonwalker is a isometric scrolling shoot-em-up. You follow a forced path and the screen scrolls when you move but will stop and you can only progress when a set wave is destroyed.

Michael Owen World League Soccer 99

 

 Michael Owen was England's youngest ever goalscorer and biggest hero, until superseded on both counts by Wayne Rooney. He put his name to a game balanced between the action of an arcade game and the realism of a simulation.

The game incorporates the leading international teams along with some 200 domestic teams from Europe, Japan, and USA. Each player's abilities are rated out of 10 in several key areas. Statistics including shots (in total and on target), fouls, and possession are recorded. Set pieces are controlled by moving a line to direct the ball. While trying to play a pass, the player can switch control to the footballer hoping to receive the ball.

The player can choose from competition structures including leagues and Cup championships, a practice mode, and single friendly matches, with the World Cup perhaps as the ultimate prize. It is also possible for the player to design own competitions.
