In Army Men, you are cast in the role of Sarge, an onscreen hero who is responsible for fulfilling a variety of mission objectives set down by Green Army headquarters. You move your character around huge maps, picking up, using, and discarding different types of weapons; scooping up medkits, air support markers, and other items; hopping into and out of vehicles; and coaxing any accompanying troops into battle.
Following the precedent set by Command & Conquer and Warcraft II, Dark Colony allows you to build a base and proceed to construct technology buildings around it radially. On the human side, these buildings yield anything from space-suited troopers to scampering mini-mechs to a cyborg Special Forces unit simply dubbed "S.A.R.G.E." The grays prefer to breed their weapons in the form of artillery-packing creatures, such as the Atril, which hurl a fleshy sac of explosive mucus at the humans with intent to kill. During a game, both sides can uncover Martian ancient artifacts that award the finder with destructive abilities.
Outlaw Racers is a completely different driving simulation game. For the first time, you can race around city streets and highways without being confined to a specific route or track. Turn left or right at traffic lights, or burn straight through them. But don't forget that the police may be on your tail! Randomly generated worlds are provided for each environment, according to player option, for both in city and highway driving. You can go through four-way intersections and use up to three different driving views. Watch for various driving conditions, including fog and rain. There is multi-player support for up to four players, and the 3-D positional sound force feedback supports joysticks/wheels.
