I had NFS 1 through 3, ~~NFS on my C-64~~(nope, Test Drive, the memory is so fallible sometimes) and the later two on my PCs. All were great fun, but I do think Hot Pursuit was the favorite simply because of the way it was set up for game play variety. I can still see one of the tracks in my mind a lot, the road through the hilly area during the fall, the leaves being scattered as I blew past the speed traps. Obviously much clearer in nostalgia vision than it probably was.

The first Need for Speed came out in 1994. And even if the graphics do look old, never ever did this run on a C64. It was a DOS game, maybe you confused it?

You are absolutely right. It was Test Drive I was thinking about.

I was about to chime in: Test Drive 2 was my jam back in those days.

I played these on pc. I even got the force feedback steering wheel for the 3. Loved playing cop in hot pursuit
