Retro Gaming #1: The Need for Speed (Road & Track)

[Milli]

Final review is: Old game, graphics are not great... it is a hard game, and the physics are impressive accurate for a 1994 game. You can feel the physics very well while racing the 512TR.

 

Good game. In my opinion. 7,2/10. :lol:

My remarks are very similar. In various way the physics are more accurate than today's NFS games (Black Box titles). Of course they had the advantage of using cars that generally were pretty rubbish at handling in real life too :lol:

 

If you've got the mental skills to install and configure a PlayStation emulator (or know how to use Google and read instructions), it's worth getting this game to see how good you are at it (I've yet to get a podium place, I'm sure that'll change when I start using MT though). Also best if you have a gamepad.

 

One thing I liked were the tracks, visually the PSX version leaves a lot to be desired (as do all PSX games played on a 1080p screen), but the track layout, esp the point to point checkpoint tracks (which are split into 3 segments) were pretty cool.

 

My score, pretending it's ~1994, is 7.6

How the hell did you get this running on DOSBox? I tried and tried for months but it never worked :( So I went with NFS XNA and that still wasn't fulfilling what I wanted..
