Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed

the first in series - TNFS, is the classic, is the most realistic NFS so far, and the only one NFS that i LOVE.

the physics, the engine sounds, the beautiful scenics(with correct palette, great work artists!), the winding narrow tracks, the traffic mode, the rhythm of music, the car showcase, the interface...... every thing is nearly perfect. it is a piece of art.
if it can produce sound on new PC (no DOS sound anymore), i would play it forever. i wish it would be transplanted into Windows system - i know i am dreaming.
NFS:Porsche is the only one that comes close. the other NFSs are just arcades.
i encountered TNFS when i was around 15, then i fell in love with it and sim racing. now i am 28 and i still love it.
now EA is going the other way, what a pity. PIONEER forever!
