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
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 italdesign ooh buddy
Personally Im partial to Underground 2
Riders on the stoooorm
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.
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 😂

WOW
Holy shit
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
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.
Yeah, I remember. You can actually unlock it when doing this knockout championship. I also remember that knockout was kinda buggy when playing multiplayer.
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.
Thank fuck for that, sis. I had the worst dream.
I think it’s the only NFS game to have Ford GT-90. I could be wrong though
I had a hard time finding that game after finishing NFS3, until EA finally released a box set collection.

I remember seeing an LGR and behind the scenes video for NFS2:
