Microsoft Golf definitely harkens back to a certain era of PC gaming that I think would be hard-pressed to hold up today - it's nostalgic, but that's about it. San Francisco Rush actually does still kind of hold up a little bit, so long as you're playing it in an arcade and not on an N64, which really sort of takes away from the frenetic energy of an arcade racing game.

Die Hard is the only game in this 8 pack I've never heard of and uh... well it looks kind of amazing in an "I could see Slowbeef and Diabetus cracking jokes over this" kind of way. Gonna guess this was not originally a Die Hard game in Japan. MMX3 is not exactly the crown jewel of its series but it's competent enough.

I've never played Twinkle Star Sprites before but I've seen it and it looks like it kinda slaps? 8-year-old me would probably never have given the magical girl theme a chance but 31-year-old me is all over it. 1v1 competitive shmup is an interesting idea. The hype for Duke Nukem has always been pretty lost on me, to be honest.
