The forgotten "cousin" of games like Dragon's Lair, Space Ace and Time Gal. While all those have gotten a steam release or a remaster, this game seems to have been forgotten. Which is a shame because it was a lot of fun, giving a different experience by combining those games with driving. I hope this gets on GOG eventually.
Those games also need your vote!

Full Auto
Full AutoFull Auto gives 'gun it' a whole new meaning. It's a driving auto combat game in the vein of burnout and twisted metal. You'll drive through various courses set all over the world in all sorts of different environments and blow stuff up. You'll go from level to level completing various objectives and trying to get not only a great destruction score but first place to the finish line. If you’re unlucky enough to get blown up by someone, you can always ‘un-wreck’ and turn back the clock to get a second chance and turn the tables. When you’re done wrecking the AI, you can take the road war onto Xbox live where you can race and blowup up to 8 opponents.

Crazy Taxi 2
Crazy Taxi 2Much like the original, the core gameplay in Crazy Taxi 2 centers around picking people up at destinations which are highlighted with colored rings, and dropping them off at stated destinations. Crazy Taxi 2 added multiple pickups, which enabled the player to carry multiple passengers, (previously it was restricted to one passenger per journey). The game also saw the introduction of the "Crazy Hop" feature, which allows the player to jump over certain surfaces to save time, as they taxi passengers around the locations. By performing moves such as the "Crazy Hop" and the "Crazy Dash", the driver accumulates tips from their passengers, which increases the total score. This sequel includes a modified soundtrack with rock bands The Offspring and Methods of Mayhem. The game also has some online modes in the form of a scoreboard, and replay-sharing.
