Not my 1997; we were way too poor for that. My asshole first stepfather would be alive again and I would be back in the latter half of highschool, so a pass all around from me (but y’all feel free to enjoy good memories :) )
Goo goo ga ga (I’m 1 year old)
Oh yeah, the days when there was no fucking AI and other shit.
I think it’s the only NFS game to have Ford GT-90. I could be wrong though
This post right next to Free rule, you say?. What a coincidence.
The dumbest thing Neo ever did was choose “the real world”. What a dumbass. I would choose the fantasy pill and live every single moment as extravagant bliss.
WAKE UP!
NFS2 Special Edition was so good. My favourite of the series. The menu music alone were bangers.
Especially the Hollywood map to could access with a code from the menu. That rocked so hard.
Yeah, I remember. You can actually unlock it when doing this knockout championship. I also remember that knockout was kinda buggy when playing multiplayer.
Personally Im partial to Underground 2
Underground 2 was the best.
Riders on the stoooorm
I had a hard time finding that game after finishing NFS3, until EA finally released a box set collection.

I remember seeing an LGR and behind the scenes video for NFS2:

Need For Speed II - 24 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective
-
Making of - Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2 [Behind the Scenes]

NFS 3 Hot Pursuit was my absolute jam when I was a younger man. The graphics were amazing for its time and it still ran like a dream on my trash homebrew.
That game made me want an MX5
Hot Pursuit was the best one IMO
My favorites where Underground and Underground 2. The Soundtrack was awesome.
The gameplay variety and music kept me playing for hours on end. Would still love to play with a good setup and friends.
Hot Pursuit and the Porche one were my favorites; I remember steering with a force feedback joystick.
Porsch Unleashed was quite a bit more simulator-like, at least the steering mechanics and coefficient of friction. I always kind of enjoyed the arcade physics of the original trio, without going completely slot-car, as keeping racing lines and risking shortcuts was still heavily rewarded. They all had really good soundtracks though, with that late '90s techno and grunge. Or at least that’s what my nostalgia tells me.
I had NFS 1 through 3,
NFS on my C-64(nope, Test Drive, the memory is so fallible sometimes) and the later two on my PCs. All were great fun, but I do think Hot Pursuit was the favorite simply because of the way it was set up for game play variety. I can still see one of the tracks in my mind a lot, the road through the hilly area during the fall, the leaves being scattered as I blew past the speed traps. Obviously much clearer in nostalgia vision than it probably was.The first Need for Speed came out in 1994. And even if the graphics do look old, never ever did this run on a C64. It was a DOS game, maybe you confused it?
You are absolutely right. It was Test Drive I was thinking about.
I was about to chime in: Test Drive 2 was my jam back in those days.
I played these on pc. I even got the force feedback steering wheel for the 3. Loved playing cop in hot pursuit
The italdesign ooh buddy
Playing this as an Aussie teenager, the Australia track was kinda hilarious, I was always like damn, this loop through that scenery should take about 32 hours minimum
Haha, that’s great! What related landmarks does that track allude to?
Been fucken ages, but it has the Sydney Harbour Bridge, plus a bunch of the cliffs on the freeway north of Sydney (which are sadly much less majestic since a freeway expansion on the early 2000s). Then it also has some red desert which is at least 1000km away, plus some old mining towns, which is somewhere in between.
I just looked up a lap of it on youtube though, and the graphics are waaaaay worse than I remember… I guess I had low standards in the 90s 😂
Mark my words: the Ford Indigo and GT90 are the future of cars. By the time the year 2000 gets here, we’ll all be driving them shits.
Underground 2 please
ROM DI PRISCO BABY
