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

Personally Im partial to Underground 2

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.

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

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

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

Need for Speed II SE - Play in Browser for Free - Retro Online https://retroonline.net/Windows/Need%20for%20Speed%20II%20SE

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.

Underground 2 please

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 :) )

NFS2 Special Edition was so good. My favourite of the series. The menu music alone were bangers.

That stupid dinosaur... every. fucking. time.

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.

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

I fuckin' wish.

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:

• Need For Speed II - 24 Years Later: An LGR Retrospective

Damn. It’s 2025 and I just booted that one up last night!

ROM DI PRISCO BABY

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.

Wait but if it's 1997 I wasn't even born ye...vanishes from existence

Goo goo ga ga (I'm 1 year old)

I had this on PC when I was really young. Barely remember it. i could probably find the CD at my parents'.

I would be crying.

Time to go 8x8 XP farming in UO.

Methamphetamine addiction: part 2

Oh thank god... so the queen's still alive?

Oh yes, my jam!!! I still have my copy for GameCube. Loved the chases and the mechanics.

They didn't really go well for me. I would only go back if I got future knowledge in my dreams. Like PTSD style flashbacks (would not want to be a 30 year old man stuck in a toddler's body)

Neat! I finished Need for Speed 4 like a year ago. I was never able to beat it as a kid. That felt good.

The OST in Special Edition still holds up wonderfully. Especially Proving Grounds and the Main Menu.
