Family Jockey is a horse-racing sim in which the player chooses a horse to ride and wins races to rake in prize money. The races get progressively harder and there are some raising sim aspects to help the horse run faster and make sure their stamina bar lasts longer. There's also a mode where players can gamble on AI races.

Family Jockey was remade a few times on other systems, such as the Game Boy, PC-Engine and, eventually, the Wii.
