Underground 2 was the best.

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.

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.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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?
Markus29@feddit.nl 3 weeks ago
My guess would be: reliving your first time high, newer games will not live up to the nostalgia.

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
rustyredox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Haha, that’s great! What related landmarks does that track allude to?
naught101@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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 😂

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 www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASUCj2Uyats

This website’s expectations are apparently almost as old as the games it provides. Still awesome though.

I had the special edition and had a great time playing it. My favourite was the F50. I still watch the intro video and listen to the menu theme once in awhile
eru777@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
The F50 is amazing. Modern Ferraris look so ugly.

The music of the SE was so good. m.youtube.com/watch?v=QvMimQ9YD1Y&list=PLE730706C… goes so hard

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.
dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
NFS2 Special Edition was so good. My favourite of the series. The menu music alone were bangers.
viking@infosec.pub 3 weeks ago
Especially the Hollywood map to could access with a code from the menu. That rocked so hard.
dingleberrylover@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.
LoafedBurrito@lemmy.world 1 week ago
Oh yes, my jam!!! I still have my copy for GameCube. Loved the chases and the mechanics.
tiredofsametab@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
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 :) )
minkymunkey_7_7@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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!

MITM0@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I think it’s the only NFS game to have Ford GT-90. I could be wrong though
bigbabybilly@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
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.

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.
SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Oh yeah, the days when there was no fucking AI and other shit.
rustyredox@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I had a hard time finding that game after finishing NFS3, until EA finally released a box set collection.

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 3 weeks ago
Hot Pursuit was the best one IMO
Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
My favorites where Underground and Underground 2. The Soundtrack was awesome.
Rhaedas@fedia.io 3 weeks ago
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.
Atherel@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 weeks ago
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?
Oisteink@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
I played these on pc. I even got the force feedback steering wheel for the 3. Loved playing cop in hot pursuit
Zombiepirate@lemmy.world 3 weeks ago
Hot Pursuit and the Porche one were my favorites; I remember steering with a force feedback joystick.
rustyredox@lemmy.world 3 weeks 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.
