The Unofficial Need For Speed Addon: We All Need Extra Speed from 1997

The Need For Speed never received a licensed expansion pack. Unlicensed though? Well, there was at least one: We All Need Extra Speed, released by UK Gold in 1997 as a European exclusive. With 500+ custom tracks!

@@bookshelffury Yeah, or "Road Challenge" as it was inexplicably called here in the UK. I've been playing it again lately with the aid of dgVoodoo and some unofficial patch. Great fun. Only issue is, I can't get the damn game to detect two different xbox 360 controllers - one of them works... two, it thinks they're same controller. If I could just get that to work, splitscreen was a blast back in the day.

[@AmyraCarter]

I believe they're trying to get them. Electronic Farts has not been the kindest towards DRM-free distribution, paid or not. We'll see what the future holds.

I sometimes like to visualise computers as a massive physical archieves where usually everything is organized and could be found rather easily. But that track menu looked like a bunch of files dumped on The floor where you could just grab one to get a random track. :D

[@thastump]

I had a couple of map compilations for Doom and Duke3D that were sort of similar. Just a big old pile of random maps collected from BBSes and only vaguely thrown into folders on a CD. If you were lucky, there would be a readme file, but usually it was just an undocumented map file. Will it be any good? Who knows!

The earlier times when you could find unofficial addons, expansions, sequels, what have you, and the companies (for the most part) don't quickly come after the sellers. Now we live in a time where they cease things left and right. So sad.

[@KasumiRINA]

It is sad, considering that the best and most ambitious projects were shut down. Streets of Rage Remake is very likely the best 2D beatemup of all time. SEGA called... First KOTOR is one of the best RPGs ever, but the engine 8s broken and doesn't run well on modern systems or in HD (text becomes unreadable, FMVs need exotic codes etc.), remake looked very promising but EA... Worst thing is that companies don't use those licenses themselves. Just sit on them.

[@Joecoleman84]

Except that modding is built into platforms like steam providing devs and hobbyists the opportunityto make content within the limits of copyright. I do however miss this bootleg era too though!! I personally loved the "1001 games in one" cartridges for the game boy that had awful ripoffs of classic games. Oh nostalgia!!

My NFS for DOS big box is on display in my room, and has been for ~15 years. I was super excited when i saw you open this in a previous vid. Knowing you share an affection for the game / franchise, i figured we didn't have long to wait until you covered this :^D. Awesome!

[@DemonicAkumi]

When you get huge nostalgia watching a game you've never got to play. Maybe it's simply I remember the same years I used to play these types of games in general.

[@KasumiRINA]

Absolutely! When I see low-fi graphics, things like digitized sprites or prerendered stuff, it subconsciously brings up feelings we had when seeing similar style originally. It's the same process people have towards food that's similar to grandma's or their local traditions and art, even though they are not the pieces you seen as a kid, it feels like it. That's what nostalgia is. Things that you associate with the warm parts of your childhood or youth.

I remember those expansion packs you showed in the start, cool. Brings back memories. There was a lot of expansion packs back in the late 90`s, atleast how I remember it, usually from commercials through magazines. So UK Gold is a Netherland company, and US Gold is a UK company. Maybe there is a Holland Gold company from Australia, or something..

[@macbuff81]

This brings back so many memories. I first played this on my Pentium 90, a black Packard-Bell, back in the mid-90s when I was in high school. I remember playing dial-up on my dad's office fax-line with my 33.6 baud modem :) Can't belief it's been 20 years since then

As a Brit I remember these and UKGold, it's because the average person didn't really have the means to exploit BBS systems back in the day for all of their delicious innards, so we had to rely on coverdiscs and packs like these-of which there were many-to get our modding jollies. Honestly, it was a service being offered to those who otherwise wouldn't have been able to get into mods at the time. Coverdiscs were a real boon especially so, you never knew what you'd find on one. They were delightful and I'm sad that America missed out on that particular joy. Like I said though, you gents had BBSes. I'd like to see more of this. It's fascinating watching someone who'd never experienced any of htis back in the day expericing it now. UKGold was a fairly common name back in the '80s and the '90s, having published numerous home computer games for the usual suspects from Sinclair Computers, Amstrad, Atari, and Commodore.

It's officially now just called "Gold", but it is part of the UKTV company - ie. the commercial BBC channels that they aren't allowed to use BBC branding in the UK.
