Lamborghini: American Challenge

Parent game
The game is essentially an upgrade from Titus Interactive previous entry in the Crazy Cars series, Crazy Cars III. It adds a two player mode and a few more options. The objective of the game is to become the undisputed champion of illegal races in the U.S.A.. To do so, the player must race against a group of computer controlled opponents in a variety of illegal races across the country. The races are divided into three leagues, each one with increasingly harder opponents, and the player needs to regularly upgrade his Lamborghini Diablo in order to keep him above the rest of drivers, by using the money from bets as well as the bonuses obtained when finishing races in the first place. The races themselves take place in a variety of scenarios (mountain roads, the desert, urban settings) and they include weather conditions such as rain and snow. At the end of each league, and in order to be able to join the next one, the player has to go through a "challenge", consisting of a timed race in a highway infested with trucks. Despite the game obtaining mostly positive reviews, a major source of complaints came from the saving system. Players are allowed to save their progress once every four races. Since the game requires the player to always finish in first place in order to progress further into the game, this means players needed to win four races in a row before saving their progress.

SBK 2011 pushes the SBKFIM Superbike World Championship franchise to the limit. Always keeping the focus on realism, simulation and accessibility, this brand new version is faster, more exciting and with more adrenaline than ever before. The driving model has undergone a series of major changes, succeeding in what seemed to be impossible: the game is now more realistic and at the same time it’s easier and more satisfactory for both newbie and seasoned players. Three levels of realism are available to let the player customize their riding experience, building at the same time a smooth learning curve. Playing with the Low Sim is perfect to learn the tracks and the bike behavior, Medium Sim model eases the reactions of the powerful SBK bikes, but leaves to the player the possibility of doing incredible late braking maneuvers, Full Sim gives the player the full control of the monster machines of the game. Before getting to the track, the player can set up his bike in the pits using all the options that a real race rider can use. If he doesn’t know how to improve his bike, an engineer is available to do the right fixes based on the player feedback about bike handling. All the player has to do is to tell how handling his bike felt and the engineer will do the setting changes he needs.
Micro Machines 2: Turbo Tournament featured cars that require different handling techniques for each course and also hovercraft and helicopters. There are different playing modes including "head-to-head", in which each player earns points by driving a full screen ahead of the opponent. TV presenter Violet Berlin features as a playable driver. The MS-DOS version featured a track editor. A selling point for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive version was the J-Cart, a cartridge including two control ports, thus eliminating the need for a 4-player adaptor. It also included a 'pad-sharing' feature which allowed 2 players to share a single joypad; thus it enabled 8 players to compete simultaneously, on certain tracks.
Dirt Rally 2.0 dares you to carve your way through a selection of iconic rally locations from across the globe, in the most powerful off-road vehicles ever made, knowing that the smallest mistake could end your stage.
A game where you can race over the most infamous freeway in the Netherlands: the A2. In A2 Racer, you join a band of illegal streetracers whose only goal is to get from A to B as fast as possible. You must weave your way through the regular traffic on the A2, grabbing power-ups like fuel, money and time and making sure the police can't catch you. Be sure to be #1 in this game, for the rest are considered losers.
A2 Racer II again allows you to race on the well known Dutch A-2 highway. But also race tracks have been set out through 3 major Dutch cities: Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Den Haag (the Hague). Like in the original you join illegal street races. There are six stages in the game. The first stage takes place in Amsterdam, the second on the A-2 towards Den Haag, the third in Den Haag itself, the fourth on the road to Rotterdam, the fifth in Rotterdam, and the last from Rotterdam past Utrecht back to Amsterdam. Each city has been carefully recreated in a completely new and improved 3D engine. Racing is made difficult by the police who try to block you by setting up blockades or pushing you off the road. Each time you get caught you get a ticket and lose time. With the third ticket you are out of the race. The game doesn't have a visible damage system, but if you get into too severe a crash you are also out of the race.
