"Puyo Puyo Champions ably covers the essentials of the series at a great price point. The inclusion of the Fever ruleset provides something of interest for veteran players and the most enthusiastic of new fans created by Puyo Puyo Tetris, and should be at least considered for any party game library. However, the lack of other single or multiplayer modes or a real tutorial make this less of a definitive entry-point or second helping for newly created casual fans than it perhaps could be."

About

Touring Car Champions is a DOS-era racing game that puts you behind the wheel of high-speed touring cars competing in Australia's iconic circuits. Built around the Australian Touring Car Championship and the Bathurst 1000, it emphasizes realistic handling and split-second decision making. The single-player mode focuses on career progression through races that demand precision cornering and strategic pit stops. This title stands out for its use of full motion video in 1997, a bold experiment that gave races a cinematic edge but strained older hardware. While its technical ambition is praised by retro gaming circles, inconsistent frame rates and limited multiplayer options keep it niche. A curiosity for fans of early racing games, it holds a 58% on MobyGames as a snapshot of mid-90s innovation.
