Hi,
Has anybody out there figured out how to get the optional "night" tracks
to work in the special edition of Need for Speed?? I read thru the
manual twice and tried every keystorke I could think of and it still
doesn't give me the option. I also, applied the "patch" and that
didn't seem to make any difference. The "time of day" option is only
mentioned on the back of the package as a "new" thing. I tried in
DOS mode and Win95. Thanks!!

You are right!! What a rip-off!! None of the tracks have all three of
the time-of-day settings and it's hard to tell the difference between
morning and evening. My son was dissapointed that there were no
headlight beams showing (like "Palm Night" in Screamer). At least with
the "Cheat patch" you don't have to enter the "EAC" codes anymore.
On top of that, I couldn't get the Win95 version to load at all. I have
DirectX loaded from the Monster Truck Madness trial and SE just locks
up when I try to install it. Luckily for me, I was just trying to see
if SE would load on my machines (tower and notebook) for a friend, so
I won't have to buy it. I feel sorry for anybody who upgraded from the
Dos NFS.

I have the Playstation edition (I have a Mac (and yes I like it) and of
course they make it for everything CD-rom except Macs) and it includes
this feature (just regular NFS, the other is not availuble except PC). I
don't like the nighttime one cause you cannot see the track and they do
not give you headlights either (like who would race at night without
headlights?). At dawn is when they do that really wierd orange-ish tint
(which only serves to make the sky look wierd).

: tracks aren't up to par with the original tracks as they look like
Curious, what two new tracks are these anyways?
: their designs are afterthought and thrown together compared to gems
: like the alpine, coastal or vertigo runs. Nice snowjob EA. Selling
: the same game twice...you're better than Microsoft.
Couldn't really tell what the difference was from the boxes anyways (The
SE version just has a prettier box it seems).
