Paranoia Scape is a first person action pinball game that features the designs and sounds of Screaming Mad George. The gameplay is about going around each creepy stage of the game using the ball to destroy the enemies.
Kitchen Panic is a whimsical 2D platformer starring a potato. An army of cans and other foodstuffs have taken over the kitchen, and Potato must stop them! Each sprawling level is designed for both exploration and speed, as in each stage there are ten kettles of special sauce hidden around, but the game also keeps track of your fastest time on each stage.
Potato has a unique special ability to aid him: he can spin in mid-air like a certain hedgehog, and use the force to launch himself further and faster than he can run. A forward spin will launch him forward, and a backspin will launch him straight upward. This greatly aids in exploration of each stage, allowing for very long or high jumps. There are also a number of power-ups to be found, including Ice Potato and Rocket Potato.
The game is made up of a number of zones, each with six stages. At the end of each zone, Potato must face off against a food-themed boss enemy, such as a stack of plates or a giant ice cream cone.
The game is set 100 years in the future. Players race against the clock through obstacles and enemies, including bosses, and can change into three mech modes anytime during gameplay: rally mode, bike mode and robot mode, each varying in stats. There's an "Anergy" meter that slowly ticks down from 99, displaying the percentage of full power, and if it hits zero, the game is over. The meter ticks down rapidly every time damage is taken.
VR Baseball 99 contains all 30 major league baseball teams and stadiums. Each team consists of the 1998 opening day rosters.

Season mode features a variety of options and statistics, including all-star voting. Leaving a pitcher in too long, colliding with a wall or another player, or a bad slide can all lead to injuries. When injuries occur the player is listed as day-to-day or is placed on the disabled list.
