Peak cheese in the best ways. A just-clunky-enough power system, Ice-T in the lead role, but more importantly, it's one of the "Lost" Monolith Productions games from their early years of the LithTech engine.

I remember buying this when it came out solely because Ice T was in it. Nobody else I knew had it and I kept trying to get people to play it but they all were like "so it has 'cards?'" and I couldnt get them to understand that they were just the power loadout that you could change. Now that everybody loves card related things it's time for Sanity to get a modern release, lol. This would be a day 1 buy for me.

I remember installing this game that I have found on one of the demo disk but that version of a game was bugged as none of the keybindings were saving and you couldn't move. All I remembered from this game was the very first location where you start the game and the UI. I managed to find a copy of this game last year and finally finished it. It was worth waiting all these years.

Twisted Metal
Twisted MetalTwisted Metal consists of a series of arena-based battles against an increasing number of opponents in increasingly large arenas. These battles culminate in a face-off with the winner of the previous year's competition, Darkside, who drives a large armored car which fires multiple missiles at once. Players can choose one of 12 different vehicles with which to enter combat. Each vehicle has a distinct driver and special move. The controls consist of accelerator, brake, "tight turn" (essentially a handbrake) and turbo on the face buttons, with main weapons and machine gun selection and control on the shoulder buttons. Arenas are populated with weapon pickups to re-supply missile stocks, repair stations for repairing damage to your car, pedestrians, and course stewards armed with either machine guns or missile launchers.

Bram Stoker's Dracula
Bram Stoker's DraculaBram Stoker's Dracula is game loosely based on the 1992 film of the same name. It was released simultaneously for multiple consoles and while the plot remains largely the same, there are differing styles of gameplay and graphics across platforms. The DOS version is played from a first-person perspective, similar to other games like Doom or Wolfenstein 3D. In this version, Harker must traverse several large stages to locate and purify a varying number of coffins with holy wafers, while warding off various monsters with either a pistol or a knife. When all of the coffins in a stage are purified, Harker must then confront Dracula in one of three forms (his old man, young man, and original knight form).
