Oh my goodness. You have no idea how much I played this game after receiving a christmas gift copy of it. My parents came to hate the very idea of Fifa 98 after seeing how many hours I ploughed into it :) Along with Tomb Raider 2 this was my go-to-title in the late 90s, just an absolute joy to play with.
The music was amazing, Blur and others. The graphics, out of this world at the time. The controls, easy to learn (Ctrl + W for the Cruyff turn!). You had all the 200+ Fifa members available to play in qualifying and then you could play the World Cup 98 itself. Plus you had training mode, seasons from all major leagues and many people's favourite, the indoor games.
All in all, a fantastic game well worth the price. But please, only restore it if you can keep the original soundtrack intact, otherwise it's half the fun.
BlurMade by the masters behind Project Gotham Racing and Metropolis Street Racer, Blur is a racing project by Bizarre Creations that aims to take arcade-style action and realistic driving physics to a whole new level. The game drops players into heart-pumping, electrified racing action with 20 cars on a track all targeting the finish line and battling each other as they trade paint and collect intense power-ups, including the ability to blast other cars out of the way with huge bursts of energy, boost their speed, and more.
While controlling photo-realistic cars, gamers can use offensive and defensive attacks as they battle for the lead and careen through real-world track locations ranging from L.A. and San Francisco to the streets of Hackney, UK and the treacherous roads of Barcelona, Spain.Action Science fiction

The remaining population resides in the last "green" city, a sanctuary shielded from the desolate wastelands that cover the rest of the planet.
To select the most skilled and resourceful individuals for a crucial space mission, the city's leaders organize an intense competition known as the "Galactic Gauntlet: The Ultimate Interstellar Challenge." This competition consists of a series of grueling obstacle courses designed to test the physical abilities, problem-solving skills, and mental fortitude of the participants.

Throughout the competition, you'll face fierce rivals, uncover hidden secrets about the mission, and make critical choices that will determine your fate and the fate of humanity. Only the most skilled and resilient will earn a place on the space mission, where they will venture into the unknown to secure a future for mankind.
In this intense competition, players will navigate through treacherous obstacle courses, each designed to test their agility and quick-thinking. You'll need to dodge, jump, and strategize your way past various hazards that threaten to send you back to the last checkpoint you passed. Your ultimate goal? To ascend the leaderboards, outpace your rivals, and etch your name in the annals of the Galactic Gauntlet as the fastest, most cunning competitor in this ultimate interstellar challenge. With each run, you'll hone your skills, learn the nuances of each course, and strive for that flawless run that will secure your place among the stars.
The game's controls are designed to be intuitive and responsive, giving players a sense of agility and precision as they navigate the courses. You can run, sprint to gain speed, slide under obstacles, leap over gaps, and even master the art of wall scaling by deftly jumping back and forth between surfaces. These mechanics not only add depth to the gameplay but also allow for a wide range of movements that make each attempt at a course a thrilling and unique experience. Mastery of these controls is key to making swift progress, avoiding setbacks, and ultimately dominating the leaderboards with grace and style.Action
