I had NFS 1 through 3, NFS on my C-64 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.
Comment on Bro wake up it's 1997.

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

The first Need for Speed came out in 1994. And even if the grafics 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 on those days.

I played these on pc. I even got the force feedback steering wheel for the 3. Loved playing cop in hot pursuit

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.

The gameplay variety and music kept me playing for hours on end. Would still love to play with a good setup and friends.
