an obvious guess: commander keen?

The second game was included in a pack of games, all on CD. One was a racing game that I also cannot identify in which you could upgrade your vehicle with weapons. Another involved cavemen. This game was a life simulator, I guess, with a cyberpunk theme. You walk around a city trying to make money, sell things, buy things, interacting with people. It started in an apartment that I think had white walls. You could buy "implants" that gave you knowledge or health or whatever. I know at one point I had the user manual but I lent it to someone and never got it back.

racing, cavemen, cyberpunk, walking around, what?!

The racing and cavemen games were separate but included in the same pack (I remember either six or eight CDs laid out on in a thin cardboard box). I am sorry if I did not make that clear. I just identified this one as Circuit's Edge by browsing Moby Games:

The graphics are even worse than I remember. And the racing game I remember is Deathtrack:

They were both included in a PowerHits Sci/Fi compilation set:

So maybe that is the collection I am remembering. I may be confusing two different collections, one my cousin had and one I had. The caveman game was definitely my cousin's, though. Sorry for wasting everyone's time given how easily I found the name of the game once I started thinking about genres and platforms.

Yes! That is it. I was thinking "robo" rather than "micro." Thank you so much. I never would have found this one.
