I would suggest that this is an

Austin Allegro.

For the following reasons:
- The indicators are on the bodywork, outside of the shrunken grille-headlight unit, as per the Allegro design (As can be seen on the pictures on en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Austin_Allegro )
- The yellow foglights are in the same position on late 70s Allegros.
- Codemasters are a UK based game company, as are the developers Infogrames UK (ex-Gremlin), where the Allegro is something of an infamous / cult car (on a par with the AMC Pacer)
- It can be seen clearly on the box art (www.mobygames.com/game/micro-machines-/cover-art/gameCoverId,53474/)

Why it is not a Fiat 147:

- The headlight-grille and indicator assembly is all in one on the 1st facelift Fiat 147s, which look more Saab-like ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fiat_147_in_Italia.JPG )
- The car is not well known in the UK, certainly less regarded than other Fiat models such as the 500/600 and 126.
- The yellow foglights on a 147 are somewhat more integrated ( en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Fiat_147_IAVA_Sorpasso.JPG ) than those on an Allegro ( farm5.staticflickr.com/4095/4827115166_91d62f4f62_z.jpg )

you can see the body shape of a Fiat 126 and the front lights are similar.

I think it's an Innocenti Mini 90L.
