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

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

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

The F50 is amazing. Modern Ferraris look so ugly.

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.

Hot Pursuit and the Porche one were my favorites; I remember steering with a force feedback joystick.
rustyredox@lemmy.world 7 months 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.

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

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.

What do you mean by rechasing the dragon?
Markus29@feddit.nl 7 months ago
My guess would be: reliving your first time high, newer games will not live up to the nostalgia.
Oisteink@lemmy.world 7 months 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

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.
