NFS3 will kick with Supercops!

All these companies have to do to get it right, is look at Need For Speed 1 and Test Drive 2 - The Duel. Both are excellent examples of fun arcade racers with just enough sim elements to keep us coming back to try and beat our best times. Add to these 3dfx graphics and some decent controller configs... give us some decently varied choice on car models, tracks ..especially STAGED courses and tada... they would have a hit on their hands. But then again I said the same thing when NFS2 came out <sigh> Cheers. --John (Who still drives NFS 1 all the time) -- *kludger AT zipcon DOT com* Seattle, Washington USA.

Don't forget a dashboard view.. moving between NFS1 and NFS2:SE it's really glaring. The steering wheel view adds a lot. Also w/ fingers crossed for NFS3. -- john4 [at] GTE [dot] NET, Seattle, Wa Did you know, Mame32 .29b lets you play 258 classic arcade games code on your PC?

I agree 100% It is not a complicated formula--why can't they just build on what is already good and quit trying to "improve" things.

Hi all, when EA called for ideas for NFS2 I suggested (amongst other things) more of a bias towards muscle cars, as opposed to sports cars. Sure having the option to drive the latest and fastest super cars is fun, but the beauty of NFS was how the 911 and the Viper were very noticeably different. Wouldn't it be great if NFS3 contained older "classic" muslce cars. Maybe even some from around the world, not just America. For example, from Australia we could have the brutist grunt of the Ford GT-HO Falcon (made in the 70s and still the fastest aussie sedan EVER built), or the agility of the Holden GTR-XU1 (126mile/h six cylinder). From the UK we could have the E-Type jaguar, the Mazda RX3 from Japan (13B Rotary engine - early 70s)....even the Yank's Daytona - you know, the one with the looong body and the huge rear wing.... Anyway, if your sick of super cars that may as well have been invented by the programmers let 'em know! Here my vote. Oh yeah, another idea...why not be able to just drive around...(like you can in carmageddon) even have working petrol stations and garages and speed shops. Have a great new year every body! jason

If this game has cops that also means that it has staged courses, becasue I don't think there where cops on the circuits in nfs where there?

Do you know where I can get a 3dfx patch for nfs1? Thankyou -- Darrel Taylor

That would be nice, but there isn't one.. the only 3dfx treatment you can get on the NFS series is NFS2:SE, a commercial package. Screamer 2 now has a patch though fwiw. -- john4 [at] GTE [dot] NET, Seattle, Wa It's what happens when you take arcade machine code and run it on your PC: Mame32 .29 - 258 classics from 1978-1989 Get it at www.davesclassics.com & http://208.8.142.105/mame/ :Do you know where I can get a 3dfx patch for nfs1?
