8JUILGeneRally is a simple, moddable, top-down arcade racing game for 1-6 players - available for free. The game was originally developed by Hannu and Jukka Räbinä. The game is heavily inspired by older arcade racing games, particularly Slicks 'N' Slide. PC Gamer described it as "A minimalist Micro Machines". The game has an included Track Editor, which allows users to easily make their own tracks to race on.
14JUILLondon Racer II is another iteration in the prolific Racer series by Davilex. The races take place primarily in the streets of London and Edinburgh, with additional tracks in Las Vegas, New York and Chicago. There are three single player modes available: Single Race, Tournament and Time Trial. In Single Race, the player is free to choose any of the 6 characters available, any of the tracks and any of the unlocked cars. In Tournament mode, the player races in a series of tracks while collecting money prizes and unlocking new cars. In both modes, players race against other racers while avoiding being caught by the police. In the Time Trial mode, players race against the clock trying to beat the best time for each track. Each car (driven by a different character) has different stats in acceleration, top speed, handling, breaking and strength. The cars can also be upgraded using money collected from winning races and collecting money tokens during races. The cars also take damage when hit and can break into total loss if the damage bar is full. Repair tokens can be collected during races and if a car finishes a race damaged, it can be repaired before the next one using money. Nitro tokens can also be collected and bought, and the cars' colors can be changed. There are also two split-screen two player modes: Duel and Cop vs. Driver. In the Duel mode, players race against each other in any given track. In Cop vs. Driver, one player is the cop and the other a regular racer, and the cop player must try to crash the driver within the time limit. The game can be played from either first (hood camera) or third person (behind the car) perspective.

9JUILIt's a dark and stormy night when Mickey and friends drop in at a haunted house looking for directions; the front door slams shut, locking the group in, and the five of them spread out to search the house for keys. The house is haunted by three friendly ghosts that only Pluto and the player can see; Shaky, Quaky and Clyde, who assist the group by making keys available as Mickey and pals solve six puzzles. Silverware dances, a stuffed bear yawns and stretches, spiders scurry about as the player clicks on items in the six rooms; often two characters will converge in a room and hold a short conversation while the player is idle. Gameplay uses the mouse; to move from room to room the player clicks where the cursor becomes an arrow - at the edge of the screen, on the staircase and the secret passageway.
