#12Motocross Madness 2 is also still up: http://www.microsoft.com/games/motocross2/
And this list wouldn't be complete without Midtown Madness (1?) http://www.microsoft.com/games/midtown/
[edit] I'm sure you can find a bunch of others by browsing through the wayback machine (http://web.archive.org/web/19980214201021/http://microsoft.c...), like http://www.microsoft.com/games/outwars/

#15I remember buying the steering wheel for Midtown Madness, which was larger than many desktop monitors today and required a near-bolting to your desk, and feeling like I was on the cutting edge of gaming.

#16I used to love this game. Wonder why they keep these sites up? I mean looking at the domain it's hardly buried deep within the MS site...
Probably because it's a few static HTML files that are stored with dozens (if not hundreds) of other single purpose sites, whose infrastructure is managed programmatically. (i.e. they have an intern run a script when they need to migrate it to a new cluster, and that's the extent of it)

Why would they take them down?

I guess they don't even know in which server it's hosted anymore.
It's probably way less effort to just leave it here. It's not like it's using a lot of space, or requires some beefy performance anyway.
