This probably might be a controversial opinion but I thought Lego Racers 2 was slightly better than it's predecessor. Granted, it didn't have a lot of the themes from the previous game but it made up for that with the mini-games and exploration elements.
If I remember right I bought this with my own money when it came out and even though it took some getting used to I loved it all the same. Did open world racing well before Forza Horizon and the unique hub worlds were genuinely mysterious and exciting to explorea long with some interesting twists on racing such as being able to deconstruct enemy cars with weapons. It drive a lot more like a sim-cade racer than the more kart style of the first game but it's excellent in its own right.
This & the first Lego Racers should definitely be on GOG; they're wonderful games kids can enjoy while building their aptitude for racing in 3D (like I did). Albeit, this game was confusing to me at first. Building off what I knew from the first game, I just got lost in the first level and could not tolerate the vague nature of the mission structure, the landscape & how it integrated into the races, and just how everything felt so different from the first game. So I stayed with the first Lego Racers until 3 years later, then I started to understand this game a lot better and almost beat it. It would be awesome to go back to this series and see it I can beat it this time.
I remember when I would watch my brother play this game and when he got to the end he had a hard time beating the final race. When I was able to played through it, I had such a blast and as my older brother watched me beat the last race on my first try, he was in disbelief that I beat it on my first try. I also had a blast racing against my brother on his computer, a windows 95. those were the days and I hope that we can bring old games like this to modern consoles.

Q*bertQ*bert was a popular arcade game that was released on a large number of consoles in the early 1980s. It was developed and published by Gottlieb, and became their most successful game. The concept serves as a precursor to the isometric platformer genre, where the title character must work to turn all cubes to a certain colour in a psuedo-3D world, made 3D through isometric graphics in the same way that the Penrose Stairs was made. The game was widely successful and has become a highly recognizable brand of the 1980s gaming era.Action Comedy

Bust-A-MoveBust-A-Move (also known as Puzzle Bobble) is a real-time puzzle game in which the player controls a device called "pointer" at the bottom of the screen, aiming and releasing randomly colored bubbles upwards. Depending on the aiming, the bubbles may float up directly or bounce off the walls, changing their trajectory. The goal is to aim the bubbles in such a way that they will touch identically colored ones. When such bubbles form a group of three or more, they pop and disappear from the screen.
If the ceiling of the area is covered by too many bubbles, it will gradually descend; the game is over when it nearly reaches the player-controlled pointer. Should the player fail to release the bubbles within a specific time limit, they will be released automatically, unaffected by the pointer's aiming.Fantasy Comedy Kids
