The Ford Racing series, and more specifically FR3 is a big ever-present part of my life. I was born into a PS2 with FR3, and I played it so much my dad had to sand down the CD multiple times throughout my life. It was fun by myself playing all of the unique game modes and with my dad or the rare friend coming over for 1v1 split-screen racing. I want to see GOG do something to re-release this game, as well as other games in the FR series because I want to garner a modern audience to enjoy these games, and for myself to possibly attain better PC ports of these games, as they all have numerous issues. FR2 has jank music drivers that may or may not work on your system, FR3 has a leftover debug HUD and lots of minor stability issues, and none of the games support widescreen natively on PC (but there is a really good universal fix for most of the games by AuToMaNiAk005). If anyone at GOG can get a hold of the source code for any of the FR games, I think they can do great things with it to ensure it'll look and run better on modern systems than it ever could've with the original builds. More in-depth moddability would be a great plus as well, but I wouldn't mind having absolutely no additional features if there is even the sliver of a chance at an actually stable build of this game that feels just like any other modern PC program.
I remember Ford Racing 3 as a fun, underrated arcade-style racing game with a surprisingly diverse lineup of Ford vehicles, from classic Mustangs to massive F-150 trucks. The tracks were vibrant, and the game had a smooth, enjoyable driving feel, even if it wasn’t the most realistic racing sim. Of course, it is not NFS, but still one of the best games that I have ever played.

Rayman RushRayman Rush is a on-foot racing game developed and published by Ubisoft, based on the Rayman universe. In many ways, it is like half of a port of Rayman Arena, featuring conversions of the same race tracks, the same introduction movie and also character theme songs (it, however, lacks the battles from M, and the character roster is different). It is a 1-2 player game, and each race has 2 characters running (1 in certain game modes). The game was released 4 months after Rayman M/Arena.
Races take place on 12 tracks in four worlds and there are five main modes of play: Training, Championship, Time Attack, Lum, and Target. Some of the modes of play in Rayman Rush concern more combative contests, as opposed to straightforward racing. Success allows players to unlock new characters and play modes. Two Rayman Rush players can race head-to-head, split-screen style.

True Crime: Streets of LATrue Crime: Streets of LA is a free-roaming driving and action game similar in concept to Grand Theft Auto III. The game's structure is mission-based; most of the missions are dictated by the story and initiate following a cutscene that advances it. Failing a mission still allows the player to continue playing through the chapter and undertake subsequent missions; in some cases this will lead to branching paths and optional missions. However, in order to complete the whole chapter the player must eventually succeed in all the main missions.Open world Action Science fiction Stealth Sandbox
