Sometimes, simple is good. And this is a simple puzzle game from Take2.
You have a square landscape onto which a quantity of water is falling.
You must control various pieces that will also fall onto the landscape to create walls and dams, in an attempt to... 1/2
With Hydro Thunder, Midway took a familiar arcade gaming concept & put a twist on it.
Instead of racing superCARS, we're racing superBOATS.
Some of the wildest water race courses can be found here with boats leaping tens of feet into the air.
Realistic? Absolutely not.
But it is enormous fun. 😊😅
ChuChu Rocket!
Sonic Team created this puzzle game for the Dreamcast.
Essentially, you had to lay down guide markers for mice to follow that would guide them to an escape rocket.

It had some technical issues, to be sure. But for sheer "feel good" factor, this succeeded perfectly.
Ferrari F355 Challenge: Passione Rossa.
Essentially, an arcade racer. There were even arcade cabinets into which you could insert your DC VMU.
And yet, if you tried to drive it like an arcade game, the handling would punish you.
That's what makes this an interesting game for me.
There are modes that are "against the clock", in typical arcade racer fashion, yet in this game, the pitfall of "trying to go too fast" was a very real threat.
