Kingmaker
Kingmaker (known as Kingmaker: The Quest for the Crown in Europe) is a turn-based strategy game published by Avalon Hill in 1993. It was developed by American studio TM Games based on the Kingmaker board game. Kingmaker simulates Wars of the Roses. Kingmaker reproduces the look and play of the board game almost exactly, allowing the player to compete with up to five computer controlled factions. The major change from the board game is the addition of a battle interface where the player can control his or her army in combat, but it is very simplistic and the option to resolve battles by the original method remains. Choose to be either Lancaster or York in the famed "War of the Roses" in medieval England. The goal: have your faction secure a royal heir, get him (or her) crowned King (Queen Regent), and then keep him (her) alive whilst you exterminate all the other royal pretenders. Solid AI, original premise (you can "assign" lots of titles to your vassals, and abduct several heirs apparent), and excellent music despite simplistic battle interface.
Arch Rivals
Arch Rivals is a basketball video game released by Midway for arcades in 1989. Billed by Midway as "A Basket Brawl", the game features two-on-two full court basketball games in which players are encouraged to punch opposing players and steal the ball from them. Games generally follow standard basketball rules; a full game consists of four quarters, with four minutes each. Each team has two players, and the objective of the game is to outscore the opponent until the final buzzer sounds. A player can call for his teammate to pass him the ball or to shoot it in this battle royale. The difference between Arch Rivals and other basketball titles is the ability to freely punch an opposing player without penalty and steal the ball away. The referee will only call shot clock violations. Also unique to the game are various on-court hazards such as soda cans and candy wrappers thrown onto the floor. If a ballhandler steps on those, he falls onto the floor allowing his opponent to steal the ball from him. Players could also fall over the referee in the same way as the objects on the floor, as well as steal the ball with a maneuver called the "flying leap" where the player would jump forwards at the opposition ball carrier. If the maneuver missed, the player would roll along the floor. If successful, the player would tackle the opposition holding the ball. In the Arcade version the "flying leap" would pull the opposition's shorts down, revealing the opponent's underwear.
Paperboy 2
The game was much like the original: the player controls a paperboy (or papergirl) who must navigate a series of obstacles, such as tires rolling down a driveway while a car is being repaired, or strange houses like a haunted house, while trying to deliver the morning paper to various customers on a street (though unlike its predecessor, papers had to be delivered to houses on both sides of the street). Like the original, the game is renowned for its difficulty. There are four specific actions that can be taken somewhere in the middle of each stage that reward the player with a front-page photo on the newspaper afterwards. Such actions included breaking a window with a paper, where the next day's paper would read "Mysterious Vandalism Baffles Police", showing an angry policeman looking at broken windows. Others could be coming across a gas station being robbed and hitting the gunman with a paper behind his back, then having the next day's paper headlined with "Paperboy {Papergirl} Foils Armed Robbery" or seeing a runaway baby carriage and stopping it with a paper, and the forthcoming headline being "Girl {Boy} Saves Breakway Baby". Both heroic stories would show a happy policeman rewarding the paperboy with candy.
3D Galax
As the name implies, 3D Galax takes the Space Invaders/Galaxian concept into the third dimension. Seen from a first-person cockpit perspective and utilizing flat-shaded polygonal graphics, waves of aliens advance towards the player and must be destroyed with a laser cannon. Unlike in the originals, the aliens never shoot back: the only danger they pose is that of crashing into the player. If any aliens from a wave survive an attack run by not being destroyed before they pass the player, they will try again and again, until either the entire wave or the player is destroyed. The alien formations change every four waves, but not before a bonus stage involving navigating an asteroid field is passed.
The Mummy
The famous movie The Mummy also has its own game adaptation from 2000. It is a third-person action-adventure game. Set in Hamunaptra, there are 15 stages. There is also a bonus stage called "Cairo". Rick O'Connell is the main game-user, and the players have to defeat enemies such as Slave Mummies and Scarab Beetles. The task is simple, but not easy to accomplish. To stop the evil priest Imhotep who wants to take over the world with his dried mummies. Along the way, you have to collect various ancient objects and you have to watch out for Americans, Scarabs, mummies, as well as a lot of obstacles that sometimes plague you. As for weapons, you start with only revolvers and bayonets, but later on you get the famous shotgun or the shiny saber that cuts mummies in half a joy. The game is rendered in 3D graphics accompanied by music from the film. Unfortunately, this is really just a bad copy of Tomb raider benefiting from the license - imprecise controls, not very nice graphics, maybe only the music is good.
DiRT (Colin McRae)
Colin McRae: Dirt is another part of the series, which, unlike the previous parts, takes a different path and approaches closer to the arcade. On the other hand, the authors managed to carve out a very believable damage model, which gains its importance especially during long stages, when every scratch plays its role. In the game, you have several types of cars to choose from, such as WRC cars, trucks, buggies, front-wheel drive cars or offroads. The game also includes the Pike's Peak track (hill race). Dirt also includes simple multiplayer, in which you join a server with up to 100 players, with whom you compete for the best time on a given race section.
Sports Car GT
Sports Car GT is a racing simulator released in April 1999 by Electronic Arts. The main game mode is Championship, in which the player competes in four GT classes. It starts in the GTQ class, then the player gets to GT3, then to GT2, and finally to the GT1 class. At the beginning of the game, you will be allowed to buy a car up to 50,000 dollars, which you can modify with the money you earn or exchange it for a new one. Brakes, exhaust, engine, transmission, aerodynamics or tires can be changed on vehicles. Another mode is Arcade, where the player chooses a car, a track, the length of the race and can go racing. Time Trial is a classic mode in which you try to drive the given circuit as fast as possible. It can also be used to test car settings.
Streets of Rage 3
In the third installment of the Streets of Rage series of beat'em'up games, Mr. X returns, planning to replace all public officials with his own robots. Only the old familiar heroes Axel, Blaze and Skate can stop him, supplemented by a new member of the team, Dr. Zan. Each of these characters now has a special strike available after filling up the rage gauge, which is different for each character. Newly, special attacks can also be performed with raised weapons from enemies. Dr. Zan turns all raised weapons into energy balls that he can throw at enemies. All characters can now run, which in the previous installment only Skate could. The game contains several endings that can serve as motivation for repeated play.

Meanwhile, criminals began to reappear in the streets and fighting and looting began anew.
