A mission-based Sims game was just what consoles needed. Everyone should experience this game and the one that came before it. They were very fun titles. This is a side-series (console Sims) that was never the same when The Sims 2 came out.

Les Sims : Permis de sortir est le deuxième jeu de la série à sortir sur console, mais il n’a jamais connu de déclinaison PC, ce qui en fait un parfait candidat pour le projet GoG Dreamlist. S’il est possible de créer sa propre famille de Sims dans un mode annexe, en partie lié à l’aventure principale, le jeu se concentre surtout sur la vie d’un seul Sims dans un mode Histoire qui le mènera à prendre sa vie en main, gravir les échelons promotions après promotion, pour finalement se venger de l’égoïste Christophe Rapat-Sité qui reprend tout ce qu’il avait donné aux différents Sims de la ville. Si le jeu n’est pas exempt de défauts (IA qui a du mal à trouver un chemin optimal, actions particulièrement longues au vu du défilement du temps), il reste bien fun et permet, par le biais d’objectif à remplir au sein de chaque maison et vis-à-vis de chaque personnage, de débloquer toujours plus d’objets, de véhicules et d’interactions. Les codes de triches sont aussi très pratiques et simples à utiliser, il suffit d’invoquer un nain de jardin. Voir le titre revenir et surtout arriver pour la première fois sur PC serait une très bonne chose.

IndyCar Racing II
IndyCar Racing IIThe fourth Papyrus racing game is the sequel to the 1993 IndyCar Racing. It uses many of the improvements which were introduced in NASCAR Racing. There are fifteen tracks in total, and the major features are 640x480 SVGA graphics, multiplayer support for two players, pit telemetry data for realism, interactive driving schools, enhanced artificial intelligence, in-game communication with the pit crew supporting speech recognition technology, and digital stereo sound. You race in open-wheel cars and there are different driving views, with detailed physics and a realistic simulation of damage and controls. You can call up information about your car (fuel, tires, wings, wheel stagger) during the races at any time. Aside from the in-game paint shop, there was an active modding community at work with many custom car sets available online.

TOCA 2: Touring Car Challenge
TOCA 2: Touring Car ChallengeTouring Car Challenge: TOCA 2 is the sequel to TOCA Championship Racing. Rather than focusing on traditional racing elements, Codemasters has taken the mechanics and structure of British Touring Car Championship and slapped it into a PlayStation CD. Because of this, the TOCA series is considered a niche racing game; something on the outskirts of the mainstream.

Spacewar!
Spacewar!Spacewar! is one of the earliest digital computer video games. It is a two-player game, with each player taking control of a starship and attempting to destroy the other. A star in the center of the screen pulls on both ships and requires maneuvering to avoid falling into it. In 1971 it was unofficially ported into a coin-operated PDP-11 machine and renamed Galaxy Game. As an arcade machine it was installed at the Tresidder Union at Stanford University in September, 1971, two months before the official release of Computer Space, the first mass-produced video game. Only one unit was built initially, although the game later included several consoles allowing users to play against each other.
