Need for speed SE improved on an already impressive game and made the first steps at becoming the well known franchise it is today.

Classic. Somehow, I never managed to play NFS during the DOS era (probably because none of my friends had a copy I could “borrow”), Test Drive however was more my jam.
My first NFS was NFS III on Windows, got hooked on to it and continued playing it all the way till Most Wanted (2005). Overall, I’d say NFS: Porsche (2000) was my favorite in the whole series.
NFS III is amazing. I got it working on my pentium 200 MHz win 98 machine with a voodoo 1. Still extremely fun!

Ahh the memories.
I first saw this game running in a computer shop on a 3DO and thought it looked awesome.
Then later, my regular PC magazine featured a demo on the cover CD. The presentation blew me away and I played it repeatedly. I loved the videos for the cars, the demo featured the videos for the Dodge Viper and I’ll never forget the music to this day.
I bought the game pretty quickly once it came out and loved it.
Yeah, this game introduced me to the dodge viper. As a European the dodge is not often seen in the wild. (at least not back then. These days there are a lot of Ram imports, but the roads aren’t made for huge american cars here) I loved the look of the viper!
Great memories of this, one of the first games I got for our first ‘proper’ home computer with a Cyrix 6x86 CPU. It was a gateway to getting into sim racing for several years thereafter, particularly with GP3 and Grand Prix Legends.
