    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

    • Gerudo@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Hot Pursuit was the best one IMO

        My favorites where Underground and Underground 2. The Soundtrack was awesome.

      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.

        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?

        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.

      • rustyredox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        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 only videogame my dad has ever gotten into (other than Pong) was NFS II SE. He wouldn’t race, he just liked driving around at 35 MPH and looking at the scenery. He enjoyed this so much he bought a wheel and pedals for it. I loved this game as a kid, and the fact that I could play it with a wheel. The song “Headless Horse” off the soundtrack is pure 90s cool as well.

    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 :) )

    source
    • minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Create some new memories now. NFSmw 2005 can still run on W11 and it has a patch on Github that unlocks and tweaks everything. You can turn off the rubberbanding cheating that the games does and you can actually enjoy the game!

  • PraiseTheSoup@midwest.social ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    This game gave me a life long love of the 1997 McClaren F1. Fastest street legal sports car at the time. Top speed of 232 mph.

    If I became a multimillionaire tomorrow I would immediately seek out a 1997 McClaren F1. I never liked the look of the newer models.

    This one was gold. they’ve been trying to rechase this dragon for years.

    to their credit, i’ll say that N4S rivals was pretty good.

    and I forget the original on Xbox but that wasn’t bad either as I recall.

    source
    • Oisteink@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      The next great one for me was Project Gotham Racing. Like with SSX the first one was gold while the 2nd was at times over the edge. Like with how THPS3 went to the edge, except that was the best

      What do you mean by rechasing the dragon?

      source
      • Markus29@feddit.nl ⁨22⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        My guess would be: reliving your first time high, newer games will not live up to the nostalgia.

    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.

      • dingleberrylover@lemmy.world ⁨15⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        Yeah, I remember. You can actually unlock it when doing this knockout championship. I also remember that knockout was kinda buggy when playing multiplayer.

    I think it’s the only NFS game to have Ford GT-90. I could be wrong though

    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

    source
    • rustyredox@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

      Haha, that’s great! What related landmarks does that track allude to?

      source
      • naught101@lemmy.world ⁨19⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

        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 😂

      The F50 is amazing. Modern Ferraris look so ugly.

    I had a hard time finding that game after finishing NFS3, until EA finally released a box set collection.
