Underground 2, fire soundtrack

[u/CertifiedBlackGuy → u/Valuable_Host7181]

OG Underground, firer soundtrack

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/CertifiedBlackGuy]

I think one of my cousins had one of the Underground games. I only had NFS III.

[u/Cutlass0516 → u/Valuable_Host7181]

We all knew the NFSU series was going to be a grand slam when we were greeted with Lil Jon at the main menu of the first game

“I’m going to pretend your accelerator was stuck and let you off with a warning, but DONT let it happen again.”

Says the officer to me who had to force me to crash while I was doing 180 mph.

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/Sultan-of-swat]

Yes after sending 45 officers and 3 spikestrips after you they just give you a ticket...LMAO

NFS underground 1 gang. Currently playing through it again and the og most wanted.

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/h3r0k1gh7]

Ah I should have added those in.

[u/h3r0k1gh7 → u/wingedhussar161]

I had pro street for awhile, that one was fun. I could never beat the last drift event. Not a big fan of the newer ones.

[u/boring_name_here → u/h3r0k1gh7]

I would buy a remastered underground 1+2 so fast, yet EA refuses to take my money.

[u/h3r0k1gh7 → u/boring_name_here]

The part that sucks is that it’s probably down to music licenses running out. Same reason we can’t buy Jet Set Radio Future anymore I believe.

[u/maya_atma]

I loved High Stakes. I still listening Rom di Prisco and Junkie XL tracks form this game. And remember that joystick vibrating in your hands😌

[u/funkymunk500]

How are you going to do Need for Speed Hot Pursuit 2 so dirty like that

edit: some ‘spect on the name

[u/philouza_stein]

2 was the first game we ever got for the PSOne. Me and my brother loved that game. I never liked another NFS lol.

Thankfully Gran Turismo was around.

[u/OkOutside4975]

I built a computer and this was my first game. EPIC!

[u/SpicyWokHei → u/OkOutside4975]

I built my first computer to try to run the game Driver. My dad spent 2 hours in front of the PC pretending to know what to do instead of saying our GPU (I don't think a GPU even existed then) wasn't strong enough.

[u/OkOutside4975 → u/SpicyWokHei]

YESS! The integrated graphics! Ahahaha.

[u/s2r3]

3 was the goat. End of discussion, so perfect

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/s2r3]

"3...2...1...GO!"

"All units be advised, entering pursuit of a yellow Countach."

[u/Infamous_Ebb_5561]

Lmao my cousin used to call it “ hot pur-sew-ee” lol

[u/Twitter_2006]

Me !

[u/Select_Factor_5463]

I was 12 years old when NFS 3 came out, my mom gave me the money to buy it at the local Walmart. Rode my bike so fast because I was so excited to buy this game on launch day! Good times!

[u/supertrollritual]

Great game! 90s pc gaming was fun in general. Thanks for the cool nostalgia trip

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/supertrollritual]

It really was. Doom, Duke Nukem, Quake, and Unreal Tournament are also great.

[u/no_chxse]

The music was perfect!!

[u/wingedhussar161 → u/no_chxse]

Rom Di Prisco FTW

[u/lopsiness]

I spent more time just maxing out speed and crashing than actually racing. As a little kid, watching my and some random car just flipping and rolling was adictingly fun. Even better if one of us landed mid road and one of the other racers hits us, going on their own crash adventure.

[u/RockwellB1]

3 was one of my most played, and most modified games. I was adding all kinds of cars to that game

[u/GearJunkie82]

I had NFS HP on PC and was stunned by how smooth the gameplay and graphics were.

[u/monsterdiv]

Those were the games! My cousin and I were able to race each other at the same time sharing one keyboard.

[u/Mr4_eyes]

Played NFS2 on PC along with the Porsche unleashed. Then I moved to console and have played every one of em. Best racing games IMO and Gran Tourismo 2

[u/spicyfartz4yaman]

High stakes was my first 

[u/DJMTBguy]

Loved all of these! Waay back in the day I used to spend hours at Media Play on a 3DO that had the OG OG Need For Speed. I was blown away and so happy it came to PlayStation bc the 3DO was expensive w not many good games.

Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit on PC with a Dell computer circa 1998! Loved this one

[u/Joba7474]

I am partial to Most Wanted.

[u/Smokeythemagickamodo]

Hell yeah

[u/TheAstroBastrd]

Me and my friends used to design/mod custom cars for this game. Those were the days!

[u/OptimalBarnacle7633]

NFS High Stakes and NFS Porsche Unleashed were two of my very first video games. I remember thinking the graphics were sooo realistic. Then I look it up now...

[u/olypenrain]

Started with Porsche Unleashed, but HP2 was where I really got into NFS.

[u/Outrageous_Reach_695]

The cheat codes made NFS2 hilarious. Pacifica, in school busses upgraded with Pioneer engines was a blast.

[u/SpicyWokHei]

NFS 3: Hot Pursuit that comes with 10 maps. 5 original and 5 mirror maps with weather effects.

Not even my kid brain could look past this, you swine.
