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 :) )
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!
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.
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

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.
Thank fuck for that, sis. I had the worst dream.
The OST in Special Edition still holds up wonderfully. Especially Proving Grounds and the Main Menu.

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 😂
That stupid dinosaur… every. fucking. time.
Oh yes, my jam!!! I still have my copy for GameCube. Loved the chases and the mechanics.
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
Damn. It’s 2025 and I just booted that one up last night!
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.
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?
My guess would be: reliving your first time high, newer games will not live up to the nostalgia.
