In case you missed it: Windows racers, dinosaurs, and Hyborian detours
This Windows batch darts from Dutch motorway sprints and IndyCar circuits to prehistoric activities, card duels, and Conan’s brutal fantasy realm.
1nsane
In muddy multiplayer races, off-road racing is framed around rough terrain, vehicle damage, and modes including Capture the Flag and Destruction Zone. The prospect of a battered car handling differently after a collision gives its races a pleasingly scrappy edge.
3-D Dinosaur Adventure: Anniversary Edition
the dinosaur activity collection bundles the original prehistoric exploration game with the separate Art-a-Saurus disc. Its Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous areas sit alongside activities such as Photo Safari, Dinosaur Encyclopedia, and Create a Saurus.
5 A Day Adventures
the produce-led board game turns nutrition and exercise prompts into a board filled by tokens and golden stars. Put its drag-and-drop food questions beside the rapid yes-or-no Ultimate Challenge: which would hold a young player’s attention longer?
A2 Racer
the first A2 freeway racer is presented as a traffic-weaving arcade sprint with fuel, cash, and time pickups in play. Police patrols and the need to keep moving through the freeway give it a very direct, no-frills chase rhythm.
A2 Racer II
the Dutch city sequel moves the series through Amsterdam, Den Haag, Rotterdam, Utrecht, and the A-2 motorway across six stages. Three tickets end a run, so police blockades make route memory and restraint as important as outright speed.
A2 Racer IV: The Cop’s Revenge
the European police chase takes the series beyond the Netherlands to locations including Berlin, Hamburg, and Vienna. Its checkpoint races pair traffic dodging with fuel, cash, and time pickups, while the police remain a constant nuisance.
Adrenalin: Extreme Show
the point-scoring racer counts drifting, leading, and clean driving toward a score rather than treating the finish line as the only measure. Career money goes into upgrades, while long jumps, endurance events, and car-crushing duels break up the circuit racing.
Age of Conan: Hyborian Adventures
Conan’s online Hyborian adventure begins on Tortage, where daytime multiplayer questing and nighttime story instances split the opening experience. Its directional melee attacks and defensive shield positions make combat sound far more hands-on than a conventional auto-attack MMO.
Akiko’s Trivocum
the one-hit card duels makes every duel hinge on one life point and a six-card spell assembled from Foundations, Artifacts, Creatures, and an Aurikel. Adventure mode follows Leandra through branching prose passages and card battles based on the opening of Die Bruderschaft von Yoor.
Al Unser, Jr. Arcade Racing
the IndyCar arcade racer keeps its IndyCar action focused on fifteen tracks, checkpoint events, a championship, and practice runs. Optional manual shifting is a welcome choice for anyone who wants more to do than hold the accelerator through the bends.
Which of these would you return to first: the A2 series’ police-dodging runs, 1nsane’s off-road modes, or Al Unser Jr.’s straightforward IndyCar races?
