The Need For Speed Special Edition: An LGR Retrospective

[@DisplacedGamers]

It was really awesome to hear you mention Jeff van Dyck and Saki Kaskas. These two guys put together explosive soundtracks for numerous games in the mid to late 90s, and more people should know who they are. They created music so amazing that I would sometimes just sit back and listen to playback during menu screens rather than fire up my next hockey game.

[@ADVChina]

Your story is exactly what happened with me with Test Drive 4. Sat on my shelf for months before my parents finally got a computer with a CD-ROM drive. Oh the memories. Fantastic video.

[@T4silly]

I have the need. The need, for mildly fast.

[@claudiolluberes111]

0utta S1TE Can't hold the necessity of crashing into a tree.

[@audixas1]

Gotta go moderately quickly!

[@mychemicalbromance97]

The need for going 3 MPH over the speed limit

[@meetalhoomeez]

Riiiiiiiide in toooooo the somewhat threating zone...

[@wabisabi7891]

Necesidad de ir especialmente rapid... Wait this is not a spanish comment

[@BlazeHedgehog]

As somebody who just bought Need for Speed Rivals on PS4 because it was $5 and has spent the last three weeks gnashing teeth at how simultaneously frustrating and enjoyable it is, I would love to see you keep going with the Need for Speed reviews, Clint.

[@HeadSmackable]

Can't get enough of this guy. Been watching for 10 years now! Here's hoping for 10 more :)

[@LGR]

Thanks for sticking around!

[@HeadSmackable]

No, thank you sir, for giving me a reason too

[@sega32xxx14]

LGR Clint, you ever feel as if you're burning out on this stuff? Like maybe alot of times you do videos because of obligation rather than passion? It certainly doesn't feel that way, but I worry about ya buddy.

[@LGR]

Certainly not yet. I just make sure what I make is what I'm passionate about :)

[@marksantory4405]

Yea I'm completely hooked on this channel. Thank you so much for all your hard work.

[@jeremebp]

Holy crap, I had that exact same Acer, and I haven't seen it anywhere else since back then. I remember always playing with the clicky door while waiting for the blazing fast 56k modem to connect.

[@LGR]

Haha, nice. Yeah I wore out that door on front after a couple years

[@claudiolluberes111]

Says a lot of how blazing fast it actually was xD

[@jeremebp]

Claudio Lluberes Compared to the 28.8 I had before, it felt like it. I could download a full game demo in only 3 hours!

[@RemixedVoice]

jeremebp ROFL... Yeah, the days of leaving a download for a demo running in the background of your computer while you went to school...

[@QunMang]

@RemixedVoice: ...and hoping that no one else picked up the phone before the download was finished. :o

[@MrGrandis852]

This is the first PC game that I have when I was 5, this has influenced me become a petrol head! The Viper is the car I love the most, since I born in Hong KOng, there were no american muscle to be seen. That music video really hooked me into the game and real life cars. Man I really love this game, thanks Clint for reviewing this for us :)

[@MelhodRiperton]

[@karelpipa]

i have a coworker whose name is Kalista.

[@duramirez]

What he died of? o:

[@metfan4l]

Need For Speed was really something special back then, too bad the last couple of titles were so disappointing.

[@SquibbeyJenkins]

This was generic as fuck even back in the day.

[@1flynlow]

the last couple decades of NFS have been disappointing.

[@magnumforcemopar402]

KKsHaDoWx you are insane.

[@Kan_DSU]

I enjoyed the last games too.

[@andersdyreborgjensen4579]

I actually enjoyed NFS payback =D generic story tho

[@q3aryoko]

Man, this brings back memories. i LOVED this game. I had it on the Panasonic 3DO in my mid-late teens, and i could race my buddies on my 27" Zenith tube TV. This was the game that introduced me to cars i had never heard of back in the 90s. The NSX, Supra and the RX7. The point to point highway racing in traffic was bloody awesome. In the end my favorite car was the NSX and the 911 second. My buddy always made us race two 911's. God, great memories.

[@barry-allenthe-flash8396]

[@ES72985]

I can't believe how much this review mirrors my own experience. I remember buying NFSSE when I was 12 years old at Costco, when we too did not have a PC with a fast enough processor (or a CD-ROM drive). I also remember staring at the back of the box so excited to play it. I begged my dad for a new computer, and behold for my birthday that year, a new computer with a Pentium processor at 133mhz showed up. Still one of my favorite games as a kid.

[@KonkeyVG]

This video reminded me of your "Remembering the Classic Need For Speed Games", one of my favourite videos of yours very moving at points when you talk about your sister. Keep up the excellent content Clint I love to see your channel grow.

[@LGR]

Thank you!

[@jethrowegener]

I swear, Clint could talk about the most boring topics in the world and I'd still watch these videos. I love them, and always look forward to more. Need For Speed 3 was my NFS game of choice. I had a crappy Intel Integrated Graphics chip in my PC for years, and just spent hours racing in that game after school.

[@jordandehart6905]

This takes me back. Not because I played the NFS games, but because it takes me back to that special time when you're a kid and you don't know the limits of a video game, it feels like this magical, open-ended world where everything can happen. Back in grade school, me and my best friends would swap stories about all the cool things we did in video games. Good times.

[@OhioGirl-bu2kv]

Oh man.....watching this video of these racetracks and cars is bringing SO many memories for me right now. I'm feeling very nostalgic and getting misty eyed. I used to race the Viper on Alpine (I think). I would drive that car so fast down an open stretch of road and purposefully slam the Viper into an oncoming vehicle!! I loved the sound of the metal scraping against the concrete and hearing the glass shatter in the windshield!! Such good times back then!! I played in Knockout mode and the Tournaments to unlock the special tracks!! It was very stressful and I had to play over and over and over again until I finally won!! I would love to be able to play these on a modern computer with the right equipment. I had the first 3 or 4 NFS games, I had Driver and Driver 2, I had all the Crash Bandicoot games and I also had Road Rash and Road Rash 2. All of those games played on the Sony Playstation 1. I forgot what the graphics looked like from these NFS games. I have been so used to seeing these modern games with impeccable graphics and then to see the graphics from NFS was such a shock to the system!!!! Great review on this game. Wish I could play it again!!!

[@parvanaturalia]

The Viper was pretty cool, yeah, but man, was that Mazda a bright, bright yellow that appealed to me back then. Still does, to be honest. Although, truly, the love of my life since NFS2 has always been and always will be that gorgeous Jag XJ220. Now THAT is a car.

[@crowningchristopher8273]

The immersive environments totally sold this game for me. They had rich bold colors and played smooth for a 90's racing game. Well, that and the crashes. Sometimes I thought I felt physical pain when crashing unexpectedly.

[@Spolodaface]

The need for LGR

[@T4silly]

I'd watch LGR play shirtless volleyball.

[@alexander1485]

while sweating profusely in a speedo?

[@VanguardDetonados]

20 years later and it is still my favorite racing game, i just love this thing.

[@nezimar]

NFSSE was the game that showed me racing was more than just Pole Position at the arcade. And then NFS2 SE came out with Glide support, and blew my freaking mind.

[@MetalheadEchidna]

Saki Kaskas was amazing, i heard about his passing right after it happened and i felt like a part of my childhood had left me, i spent so much time playing NFS2-HS and his music, along with Rom Di Prisco, and several artists, is the type of music i like to chill to. Rest in Peace Saki.

[@JS-wp4gs]

'you're just crying out for some rehabilitation aren't you' sounds like the start of a bad porno and I still think SE 2 was the best of the series

[@Maximus20778]

You do you ma, I still love my nfs mw 2005

[@positronicreflex.]

I remember playing this on an old packard bell. My brother and I would alternate trying to beat each others lap times. Was also the first time I used a racing wheel. The first time I actually played it was at a Playstation demo kiosk at a hills department store. It amazed me. Ill always consider this the best NFS game, no bells and whistles, just fun racing.

[@marcel5837]

Sadly the EA logo brings out the tears for different reasons these days.

[@VictorCampos87]

1:22 In Brazil, my first PC was something near it at beginning of 2000's decade. A K6-II ( with 3DNow LOL! ) at 350 MHz and 64 MB of RAM, Multimedia Kit (Sound and CD-ROM) and Win98SE if I remember well.

[@VictorCampos87]

2:07 LOL! I pressed F key on keyboard trying to put the video image on fullscreen mode.

[@VictorCampos87]

4:37 Men! I met the demo version of this game (which came with a CD-Rom from a demo-packed magazine) when I was young. The graphics looked realistic at the time. I realized that before the "good games" loaded it would appear written on the DOS screen: *_DOS4GW_* I'm fond of this thing to this day.

[@DiogoUsagi]

I never got around to try the Special Edition so some of this stuff surprised me, from the mods to the exclusive car and tracks, but the vanilla The Need For Speed was also my very first purchased CD-ROM game, at a time when my computer could barely play the FMVs without slowing down. The installation itself was mindblowing to me back then. Great stuff Clint!

[@Fazeof1p]

Holy fucking shit... I had that exact same Acer Aspire pc back when I was a kid. April 1997 to be exact. I recognize that familiar "shitload of dots on the sidepanel" design and the odd on/off switch that you had to push in. That was my childhood PC. I still has the keyboard that I use occasionally on the Windows 98 PC here on the shelf. It ran DOS games like a gem, and the mods for games like Grand Theft Auto, and games like POD, and Age of Empires, and the Build Engine games... totally made me feel like I was in paradise even though my middle school life was an absolute fucking nightmare. Even though that thing only had a 56K modem and a 3GB hard drive, I remember using that thing constantly just in awe at this thing called the "internet"... and things like Netscape Navigator, and the AOL Instant Messenger, and this PC overall helped prepare me for.... uh... typing in long winded comments in a KZbin video many years later. It was a glorious moment of nostalgia and I still miss that particular PC 15 years later. You keep talking about nostalgic childhood things that I like, LGR, and I like it.... and Empire City for NFS3 was fucking amazing, the mood, the style :D

[@Squivels]

I love how you always manage to effectively convey the broad essence childhood wonder of pc gaming from simply messing around to online mod searching, I can completely relate. Moar nfs pls^^

[@kryyptyyk]

Still one of my all time favorite "series retrospectives" from anyone ever. Best of luck to you Clint on going forward, be well!

[@LGR]

Thank you!

[@kryyptyyk]

@@LGR No no, thank YOU for the many years of entertainment and joy. :) You've helped many of us live vicariously through some genuinely cool and unique stuff (also the only way to ever experience how good thrifting once was). I try to share these classic retrospectives around whenever I get the chance.

[@wabbit234]

Fun fact: The Lamborghini featured in the videos was Richard Garriot's and they burned out the clutch doing doughnuts in it.

[@Dj3ndo]

Oh man, this brings back so many memories! This was actually my first game on CD-ROM back in '96 or so. I remember my dad got it for me and i couldn't get the car to move because you had to press "A" to set the gear to drive. I played it every day and i'm still hoping for a worthy remake with today's technology! Awesome video Clint! Keep them coming!

[@Tymkot]

YES! I've been waiting for this one! Hope NFS 2 will follow!

[@LGR]

Absolutely will. I'd kinda like to cover the first six games this year.

[@Tymkot]

That's awesome! To this day I consider them to be the best in the series.

[@windhelmguard5295]

i loved the play station version of NFS-2 so damn much. especially all the shit you could unlock with the right codes, such as the Citroën 2CV, the school bus, the box and the t-rex.

[@surgicalglitch3265]

Dude, you just unlocked a game from my childhood memory I completely suppressed for some reason. THANK YOU! I remember smashing the DOS version of this game so much.

The hours I spent as a youngin playing this, Nascar, monster truck madness 2( mostly the demo, didnt get the full version for years later) , road rash , soda off road and various other racing games is staggering. I love seeing all this again. You should do the monster truck games next!

Back in the day when Electronic Arts still had their 80's logo and were actually trying to create interesting new games.

it felt unique, you knew what a good game made by devs who cared.

[@Brissles]

@@MegaManNeo that's a cool cartoon avatar, what is it?

[@LiquidTurbo]

Man, you made a video about my entire childhood. We were poor so we could only afford very little games. I spend $15 on this game at Toys R Us and played easily thousands of hours on it. Thank you LGR for making such an awesome video to remind me of my entire childhood....!

[@liaxis_]

Oh wow, another LGR video focusing on the NFS series. I clicked as fast as I could lmao.

[@drakesterX]

When I was a kid I LOVED Need for Speed, my favourite growing up was always Hot Pursuit 2 I spent Sooo many hours in the “be a cop” mode!

[@hkoizumi3134]

I remember my friend and I used to park miles ahead and purposely block the road to cause traffic. I then drove as fast as I can and crash into them. We had so much fun doing that. Also, I vaguely remember moon level.

[@LGR]

Sounds like you're remembering the console release, which is a bit of a different beast. This one didn't have Lunar Springs or split-screen :)

[@hkoizumi3134]

Oh that's a bummer. I didn't know PC release did not have split screen and the moon level. That replay feature that PC release has could of been fun to play around with, that wasn't on the console.

[@ipauloreis]

For me, it's weird and awesome at the same the fact that my experience with this game almost equals yours, Clint. As was the case with Phantasmagoria, a game in which I spent so much time just looking at those 7 (SEVEN!!) cds, reading the manual, taking care of the box and imagining how cool it would be to play it at night, I bought NFSSE before upgrading my computer with a multimedia kit back in 1996. It was worth the wait for the two games because they ultimately have a special place in my heart. It's very interesting to notice that some people, living in different parts of the world, happen to share similar emotional memories of a particular thing. The Need for Speed Special Edition still is my favorite racing game. I gotta try to run it in Windows 10 now. I also have NFS2SE, but I didn't enjoy it as much as the original. I'm looking forward the next video you've just announced. Thank you very much for this great trip down memory lane, Clint! Take care.

[@Granturismoveloce]

You spoke my mind. I still have the original game and box. Still one of the best!

[@jcsaba84]

Man, this video is awesome. I had the exact same memories of buying the actual game before I received my first PC for Christmas 1996. By then I was staring at three boxes without playing: Duke Nukem 3d, Need for speed and Screamer 2. Ohh the good old days and you my friend just touching the exact feelings and nostalgia I am looking for :) Thank you!

[@RyuNoZero]

I have the feeling that he reviewed this game before, I would be pleased to see a Review of NFS2 ^^

[@ocell]

This game was my intro to gaming. Great video with footage that really sent me back in time. I can’t wait to see you go through the rest of the series!

[@Billiamiscool]

Hey Clint, now that you are no longer a kid in the 90s, would you ever purchase a Viper?

[@LGR]

Yes. Because I'm still a kid in the 90s.

[@amshermansen]

I for one can't wait for the inevitable woodgrained Viper.

[@LGR]

+Nutz4Gunz45 Oh I know, I've been actively tracking the prices ever since I got my license at 16, haha. Shocked how low even a great example can go for these days, but I'm waiting til I get some place with a garage to house it.

[@cpufreak101]

LGR I hope you show it off when you get one!

[@cdmccul]

LGR - get another business/commercial storage facility. drive the Viper to thrift in, feature the car in a few videos, put an LGR decal on the glass somewhere (NEVER THE PAINT) and call it a business expense.

[@fromdctomars4222]

Great video. Love the in-depth look at some of the classics that so many of us grew up playing. Keep them coming.

[@EposVox]

Great episode!

[@BaudBand]

This was my first CDROM title I bought boxed, a massive step up from the Test Drive I'd been playing until then. So many late nights with a QuickShot joystick competing with friends for best lap times. Great memories. Awesome video as always.

[@LGR]

Thanks man, glad to bring on some good memories

[@Waldimart]

[@eduardoribeirobuenonetto59]

Need for Speed SE was really important on my life! My first racing game and I still love and share some of your nostalgia points! You've made an awesome video, Clint! Cheers!!! I would love to see the next games on the franchise receiving the same treatment, because Need for Speed 2 SE was the first multiplayer racing game I've ever played! Thanks for being awesome, Clint!!

[@anginkentut1756]

[@lofi-guy]

I wish modern Need for Speed music was this cool. I have Need for Speed Rivals on the PS4 and the music sucks

[@lofi-guy]

Is that on there? My God! All I heard was a load of post Nu Metal EMO rubbish so I switched the music off completely.

[@lofi-guy]

I just looked at the soundtrack. There are a couple of decent tracks. But it looks like Spotify can be run in the background so you can play whatever you like, which is probably a better option.

[@Jervin-Music]

Lo-fi Guy the riders on the storm had a remix done with snoop in the NFSU2 game. so if you're looking for that song, that's your game

[@lofi-guy]

Fair enough

[@DesertRainReads]

Lo-fi Guy the soundtrack was done by the legendary Saki Kaskas, may he rest in peace.

NFS:SE was a celebration of disc based gaming. Videos and content blew my mind at the time.

[@Vienna3080]

Im so surprised Clint doesn’t just have like 2 real Dodge Vipers for nostalgia only

[@teknonaught]

oh man! my first CD ROM game ever is NFS2! i remember trying to run it on my dad's Acer, it's a P120 with 8 MB of RAM, choppy gameplay but i powered through, playing that game for more than 2 years (alongside C&C and later, Starcraft).. i remember envying my friend's copy of NFS2SE then saving all of my pocket money to buy it.. (also NFS3 later on and my dissapointment that it just won't run without a 3D card..) ... oooooh, thanks for the nostalgia trip, Clint..

[@Jorendo]

Never played the first, only had NFS2 special edition. Amazing game and i really miss the old Need for Speed games. I miss the creative maps, i miss that didn't finish a race within 3 minutes (as with the later hot prusuit games), i miss that it had shiny cars but didn't take itself to serious, and holy crap do i miss NOT HAVING A GENERIC CRAPPY STORY JUST LET ME DRIVE ALREADY GJEEES. EA is EA so we will never see the fun Need for Speed games back anymore, now it all has to be super shiny and way to serious, yet having stupid stories cause the people in suits hear that RPGs with stories sell well so hell they want a story in their racer cause if race fans like one thing it's a story about some wanna be street racer and all the super models and gansta rappers he meets on his road to become the best driver ever...yeah...way more fun then playing tag in splitscreen race mode (yeah me and my friends did that, playing tags with cars).

I never played this one but seeing that track editor makes me wish i did. Looking back, I have fond memories of NFS 3. The music, the tracks and the 2 player cops vs drivers split screen mode I used to play with my sisters were memorable. Not to mention the menu, especially the car showcase which I barely understood at the time. That was amazing. Thanks for reviving such great memories.

[@smexyvigoro]

You could make a video about Turbo Tax and I would still watch it.

[@JESSEQUEST]

I'm very glad to see you review this. It's certainly something close to your heart from what I've gathered from other videos, and it looks really fun. I wasn't a PC person as a kid, but I do have fond memories of arcades and Cruisin' USA. :)

you should do the burnout gaames at some point

[@shmickist]

When I was younger the family PC was always a hand me down from my dads business. I waited years to get an upgrade from our 486 to a Pentium 166 with a CD-ROM to play NFS SE. The test sequence and FMVs made me so excited back then, I got the same feeling when they appeared in your video just now :) The first retail game I bought was POD. We were on holiday interstate, so I did the same thing as you, staring at the box and reading the manual, wondering what it would be like to play. Thanks for the video LGR. :)

[@Deezy1234]

The Need For Clint

[@moramento22]

I have the need! The need for Lazy Game Reviews!

[@brianvonromanov6896]

I was born in 1995, practically the year the Need For Speed ​​franchise emerged. The first title I tried was NFS III Hot Pursuit, and since my PC when I was young had limited resources (it had a hard time running NFS Most Wanted) I squeezed everything I could out of the first versions of the franchise. This happened around 2008-2010. Then, years later, when I was almost old enough to drive, I started trying those games again but with a manual gearbox (I must say that the experience is very different), and a couple of years ago I got into motorsports (more specifically rally racing) and I have tried to implement what I have learned there in those games, with mixed results, although what I have learned in TNFS SE and NFS Porsche has been more effective (ignoring other simulators from other franchises such as Gran Turismo).

I really enjoyed that one when it came out, it did some innovative stuff. Definitely wanna cover it someday.

[@UltraVibeProductions]

One of my favourite PC games as a kid. Thanks for the trip down memory lane!

[@Ichinin]

Loved that game, i remember it also had poor physics. On the forest track with the bridge i ran into a car before proceeding over the bridge, i looked in the rear view mirror and i saw the car i ran into doing a pirouette on its front. Crashed a few seconds later because i was laughing so hard :o)

[@MaartenvanHeek]

Ichinin it actually had rather decent physics. Not the crashes, but in handling. As lgr describes it: 4wd Lamborghini, tail happy 911, and the very agile Supra Turbo :)

I had NFSSE and I would race for a bit, and inevitably get bored and do the same thing, pit maneuvering cars and slamming into them head on to see how many flips I could make my car do. Anytime I played racing games, (especially old 3d rally car racers for DOS) it always eventually devolved into finding that one spot on the track you could catch big air and trying to hit another car mid air. I love the nostalgia I feel watching these reviews.

The yellow rx-7 is fine for me, it's exactly keisuke's car

[@JDBooker]

the original NFS is the reason i bought my Rx-7 IRL :)

[@Zantrop64]

JDBooker nice :) 'm not talking shit about nfs tho,

Only YOU can make a re-review feel so entertaining bud, loved it Clint, like everyone else's comments before me.. your skills (writing, editing, etc) are just honed to youtube perfection.... keep up the great work man, I've been a sub since your first sip of tab? oh man, I hope I didn't get that detail wrong, I know you mentioned what drink it was, my gold fish memory fails me again :)

[@HoLDoN4Sec]

ah, EA back then used to bring out excellent titles every single time. now when i hear about EA i cringe. things sure changed in the past 20 years huh oh and by the way Clint, you should totally make vids about the first three grand theft auto games (Grand Theft Auto, GTA London and gta2) people today tend to forget where grand theft auto really started off from... (including R* games sadly) and besides, it would be nice to hear your thoughts about how you've seen the franchise in its earliest days. i know i spent more hours playing the first grand theft auto than the hours i spent playing GTA4 and GTA5 combined (a number which is probably at around 1200 hours total, which then again is nearly nothing compared to my entire playtime on San Andreas which is probably easily over 10,000 hours - i was so addicted to that game it was basically the only thing i've played every day for a period of nearly two years lol)

[@killyshoot9161]

You truly are the man for this right here, I remember buying this from software etc....great memories!

[@RTheren]

I have great memories on Need for Speed 2. I used to play it with younger sister back in the day. Now you can play it with 3D acceleration and TCP/IP multiplayer on Linux thanks to this: github.com/zaps166/NFSIISE So many memories...

[@iHawke]

Radoslav Fatura this looks like it could be installed on a pi

[@RTheren]

This game can run on ARM devices, also on Android. Only 32-bit little-endian CPUs are supported. So in theory, yes. Haven't tried it yet, since I don't have another RasPi to test it on

[@LGR]

Oh nice, hadn't seen that!

[@RTheren]

It was released 9 months ago, I think

[@IndygoEEI]

If there isn't a video on youtube for this showing it off, then someone needs to...

[@bagaskarahadjarputra6070]

i still agree with most game reviewers out there that said the first need for speed appeara t be more realistic than to the second need for speed when the second installment released, but sure as hell that by the time you reviewed again this good old game, it is just a tear of my eyes for the great nostalgia, really love it man, keep it up
