I remember countless hours playing this game as early as 9yrs old. The game taught me the basics of driving and learning when to shift.

I really spent quite a lot of time in the original game 30 years ago. With just joystick and 2 buttons, it feels like driving. Good game overall.

I'm a big fan of old games, especially for racing games, so this game has been my main priority to get working on emulators! :) Unfortunately, I could not get it working on a school Chromebook with DOSBox (Using the Linux development environment so basically Linux DOSBox) but WILL work on a windows gaming laptop at home.

you have to install it and use DOSBOX ECE which is a modified version of Dosbox, you can find it in Web Archive and download from there... use VESA_NOLFB as videocard and it works, the other options did not work for me... CD command is: imgmount D .\NFS.ISO -t iso

This was the first game i ever saw on pc. We had C64 before, and this was the first ever interaction of a PC back in the early 90's :D Nostalgic :D For me, that was a beginning of an era :D

If you want to play DOS games on Android, then get Magic DosBox. There is a free version that has a limit of 1 game.

If you are running the RIP version and do not have sound, go to the folder where you installed Need For Speed and then click on NFSSOUND, I chose sound blaster. (Do not try to run NFSSOUND through DOSbox, because it is not a dos file). Then go back to DOSbox and run NFS. you should now have sound. this worked for me, anyway.
