Track&Road Need for Speed

The Need for Speed, born in ’94, was like a turbo-charged time machine featuring eight licensed sports cars and about as varied a number of vehicles on traffic, three point-to-point tracks, and the option to race solo or dodge computer opponents. Checkpoints, traffic (limited variation in cars), and police chases spice things up.

Ports on: MS-DOS in ’95, PlayStation and Sega Saturn in ‘96. Japan even got a snazzy version called Overdrivin’ DX. And Windows users? They revved up with The Need for Speed SE (Special Edition) 😎

EA teamed up with Road & Track to get the feel of high speed driving, a sense of physics, the engine sounds, gear shifts, lengthy tracks with lush, detailed environments rendered at 640×480. The game included precise vehicle data, great stills of the cars incl details and videos set to fitting music** (the music has been left out or purposefully mamed to avoid pointless music claim bots activating).

Critics gave it a green light, praising the realism and graphics. And guess what? This turned out to be the first in a whole line of iconic Need for Speed series, leaving actual tire marks on your screen and on the racing game genre!

My Scores:
Graphics: 90%
Gameplay: 80%
Sound: 80%

I advise playing the game with a gamepad / joystick – analog controls work very well in this game. The release for original Playstation had no dual shock / analog support.

The soundtrack at the beginning of the video was licensed from Epidemic Sound. Track is also shown in the first scene of the video, the rather fittingly titled: UNIX 82 by Ben Elson
