I hadnt read OP's post (only the title) when I decided what my guilty treasure would be, but coincidentally its another Lego game.

Mine is Lego Racers for PC. It's a simple but solid kart racing game that just felt good. It had me addicted for way longer than it had any right to. If I had known as tween what speedrunning was...lets just say my life could have been very different (referring to the fame and riches I could have accrued from my mastery of this game). It had really satisfying power-ups and shortcuts. There were a few bosses with their own themed circuits, and a car/character creator where you could mix and match themed pieces from the boss cars after you beat them.

To be honest, I'm not well enough in-the-know to about "little known/covered" it is/was, but its not a game I've seen or heard of many people playing, so hopefully it counts. I would still recommend this game today to anyone who enjoys arcadey racing games.

This is thoroughly ridiculous and ridiculously thorough. I love it.

Ooh, cool prompt, thanks @topcyclist!

I feel like this combo might just be wild enough for someone to invest too much money in it. But also totally not realistic and feel free to ignore. I just couldnt waste my shot in the elevator on anything less than my ideal.

1. Lemonade Stand-style clicker

2. Augmented reality mobile game

3. Competitive "invasion" style multiplayer.

If you are actually itching for some The Sims any time soon, I seriously recommended skipping The Sims 4 and going for The Sims 3 instead. The difference is black and white in terms of feeling engaged with the game, not just watching animations.
