It contains the following games:

• Violator: A vertical scrolling shoot-em-up, the player flies a helicopter through a terrain full of enemies. Planes fly at the player in formation. Turrets are capable of firing in eight directions in order to attack player.
• Nitro Boost Challenge: In this action driving game, the player must drive through five different stages, including a car chase, a boat race, a forest rally, and jumping the Grand Canyon. This game was originally called Super Stuntman and was released on the Commodore 64.
• Super Grand Prix: The updated 16-bit version of Codemasters' Grand Prix Simulator. The game now has four different modes of play. The player can race with Formula 1 cars, compete in drag racing, ride motorbikes, as well as use a variety of vehicles in the fourth mode, including go-carts, police cars, and a tank (which is mostly only useful to shoot other cars and act as a blockade against those behind the player). Up to six cars can participate in a race, and each race can be three, four, or five laps. Four people can race against each other, with two on keyboard and two with joysticks.
• Pro Powerboat Simulator: This is a boat racing game more than a simulator, in which the player must use their power boat to compete against other boaters on water-based tracks, using bridges, bombs and the player's very boat against others. Ramps can be used to skim over the top of other racers, and bombs can be placed in order to gain points as they explode when other players run over them. The player must pick up extra fuel and bombs without crashing into the bank. The player must also avoid a helicopter which flies overhead and drops bombs.
