Overview
Description

In Off-World Interceptor you play a Trashman bounty hunter racing against a criminal mastermind across harsh alien planets. The game blends high‑speed racing with a full‑motion video storyline that’s humorously riffed on like MST3K. Upgrade your vehicle with bounty cash, race against the clock to block the boss’s escape, and challenge a friend in vertical split‑screen deathmatch. It’s a fast‑paced, retro‑styled experience that rewards skill and quick reflexes.

SpyHunter revives the iconic 1983 arcade experience with modern graphics and intense action, putting players behind a weapon‑laden car on a mission to thwart global threats. The game blends fast‑paced racing with strategic combat, offering both solo and multiplayer thrills. Available on PC, Mac, and PlayStation 2, SpyHunter features split‑screen multiplayer, a variety of upgradeable weapons, and a nostalgic nod to its arcade roots, all wrapped in a T‑rated package for gamers seeking adrenaline‑filled driving action.
