Personally Im partial to Underground 2
Underground 2 was the best.
Riders on the stoooorm
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.I played these on pc. I even got the force feedback steering wheel for the 3. Loved playing cop in hot pursuit
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.
The italdesign ooh buddy
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.
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.
Underground 2 please
I fuckin’ wish.
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!
That stupid dinosaur… every. fucking. time.

This website’s expectations are apparently almost as old as the games it provides. Still awesome though.
I had a hard time finding that game after finishing NFS3, until EA finally released a box set collection.

I LOVED this game! Every part of it, I spent so many hours playing it…
I used to watch the intro every time as I thought it was the coolest thing ever https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUCj2Uyats
ROM DI PRISCO BABY
Oh shit. I’m playing this in Morgan Thorne’s basement at 2am, while he sleeps, because my home PC won’t run this. Good times.
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 😂
