: Need for speed SE (Special Edition) works under DOS and Windows 95
: (DirectX).
: It has 2 more tracks and works better than the old version.
Whether or not it "works better" has been under debate for a
while :-). Some people claim that NFSSE refuses to work at all on their
computers, whereas NFS did. Regardless, these are the differences:
-As mentioned, two new closed-circuit tracks, which are pretty good
but hard to see if you happen to be running in low-res.
-In-car music. A selection of ***rock and so-called techno.
Is it so difficult to program a Screamer-esque CD player?
-Time of day option lets you drive at dawn/dusk/daytime/night (only
two possible choices per track). Really just a palette shifter.
And no headlights!
-In-car map. Somewhat handy.
-8-player networking. Great if you have a network...
-Points-based championship, instead of must-win-to-advance.
-Run any track in mirror image if you win the championship. Wow.
-Slight gameplay tweaks and visual changes. Probably my imagination
but there does seem to be a bit more body roll in SE.
