Top-down racing games used to be a dime-a-dozen. Lost in that shuffle was Accelerator, a late-release (1997) for the ill-regarded #CD-i. Oft overlooked, it was one of the more enjoyable games on the platform.

The Madden football series made its debut in 1988 and has appeared on countless consoles, the most obscure perhaps being the 1993 Turbo Duo release - the first CD-based version in the series.

AV-modded #Famicom from Taiwan. Roughly about 5,000 or so of these were estimated to be produced before the market there settled on simply importing Japanese ones. Differences? The Chinese spelling of #Nintendo on the front banner as well as the other labels.

Nintendo's Famicom (Japan's NES equivalent) had a semi-successful supplement disk drive called the Famicom Disk System. 200 games were released from 1986-92. The last one, Janken Disk Jō (pictured), starred the console's mascot Diskun.

Two boxing games for the FM Towns series of computers. "Final Blow" will also run on the Marty console. Better known in the U.S. as Buster Douglas Knockout Boxing. 4D Boxing, EA's second boxing title (after TKO), will boot on a Marty, but is basically unplayable on the console.
