I do not know how to express my feelings... 1997 when I was just 15, today Im 40 and next week is my birthday... :( NFS for me was kinda legend. I used to play every every day, with my brother we were racing, screenshot, music, cars... Too many memories... Thank you for sharing this. Greetings to all friends here, I read the comments and happy to see we all have shared same past.. Nothing will replace 90's...
I loved playing this as "A Senna" in the McLaren F1 (always my favourite supercar), tournament, and not touching a barrier or another car. So satisfying to hear "LAP RECORD" at the stripe! That menu music after the Proving Grounds race is epic; wish I could download it.
I got this on CD and we played it on split screen all night.. played tag most of the time.. f50 on a manual gearbox with headphones was just addictive..
Soooo many memories!🥺 If I'm not wrong, there were a shortcut In the canadian race, after the start, there were like a parking you could go through it, and get faster to the other side of the curve!
What I found most interesting with the game is that it includes multiple different physics models the player could choose from. *_Arcade_* which makes the game handle easily like well, an arcade racer, increasing top end acceleration and including an early form of tap-to-drift functionality, something which would later become standard in future arcade games. Think Ridge Racer V or Hot Pursuit 2010. *_Simulation_* which takes oversteer and understeer into account as well as lift-off and powersliding, while making cars accelerate and brake more realistically. Think Gran Turismo 1. And *_Wild_* which sends the car's momentum and grip levels into the stratosphere, as well as reducing collision weight, causing wrecks to look more spectacular. Think Asphalt 5, or Burnout 2.
I miss features like this in games, simple in changes to the physic or landscape can make a long way into making a game that can be replayed for years!
Oh my gosh.. it hurts so badly.. take me back to the old good days.. My childhood memories.. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t have time to play.. 😞 life is stressful now..
10 years ago used to play this game at my grandparents home in the summer vacations where all my cousins joined us too. Now watching this video together at the same place and the same room, remembering those days and memories.
This evokes feelings, my heart melts watching this game. I used to play this in a past. Now I’m watching it and I can’t catch my breath. So hurting. Memories 😭😭
As an adult you can appreciate how meticulously the whole game was designed. A masterpiece. As a 7 year old in Germany in the late 90s, racing these tracks before our long walk to school with my Italian friend .. simply epic times and tooooo nostalgic. Mexico, Greece and mystic peaks were our fave tracks!!
Man, this game is pure nostalgia ❤️ i really miss 2000's it was the greatest time for kids. Funny how we all who played this game are now grown up and having responsibilities and family etc..
Fantastic longplay from one of the best racinggames all the time! Voodoo-power, creative trackdesigns, legendary cars. And this moment when i remember all shortcuts of each track. :)
We used to play NFS 2 SE LAN in late 90's at one of our friend's house 6 players yes ! 6 truley physical players (Knockout Mode) Few People may know this : If you held the Computer by two Cars ( let say you & your friend ) in (Mystic Peaks) Track and let your Friend pass while you still held CPU , he will go Crazy !! and if let him go you'll see him in the map like a bullet! from 0 to 1000/mph !!
I have played this game and absolutely loved it. Also, I have played this game on LAN. It was the most fun multiplayer game I have played on LAN. I just hosted the game and had my friend bring his laptop. We have managed to play it on lan and it was a blast. If any of you got this game, try to play it on LAN with a friend and you will of what I mean. Let’s not forget the kick ass soundtrack too.
This, and Roadrash... The ONLY two video games I have played in life. Absolute privilege to have been able to do this. I'm going to try and see if I can somehow run it on a Mac.
These memories ... When PCs the first time were capable to produce mind-blowng 3D graphics you couldn't imagine before, thanks to the awesome 3DFX add-on cards. The music, the video sequences, altogether a milestone of pc race games. Today it is hard to understand the magic of this, but the step from low fps, low res blocky software rendering to constantly 30fps and above, hi res and dithered 3D hardware rendering with additional graphic effects was like water to wine.
I remember playing this as a kid , I knew the name and was remembering the lava stage......It was much better in my mind. That time was awesome. Getting older now :)
me, I had an old commodore as a kid, and I had this entire stack of cd ROMs that my sisters and I would play off of. But this game was my absolute favorite, and it still is, it also reminds me of halo 1.
Man, every track brings back memories, I still remember the first pc My Dad got had windows XP, With 40 gb hdd. Back then we never cared about hardware only thing that mattered was a car running on racing track. Damn.
Ah man, me and my cousins used to play this so such back in the day. We never did get it to look right though. We never had the right drivers or whatever. We knew it was supposed to look different, like in the gameplay video that shows up on the menu if you leave it alone for a minute or so. I still have the game and a 2000 Gateway Select with a 950 MHz AMD Athlon to play it on. (and a really nice, large, flat Dell / Sony Trinitron CRT as well.)
Aaron Storm Some years ago I used to play old games that only supported direct connect through a VPN aplication called *Hamachi*. That's what most people often use to emulate network play when behind a firewall or gateway without having to configure the later.
My friend had some of these NFS games around the late '90s. I love the music in this game, and other racing games at that time often had similarly great music. I literally put this on so I can work with something that sounds energetic in the background.
That's why i love TH-cam because you can see some Details from a PC Game which can't you see yourself if you don't have the Special Edition, a old Windows or the right Graphikcard on your PC.
I really don’t know how to explain this bring me so many memories from my childhood when i had PANASONIC TOUGHBOOK CF-27 PENTIUM II/300 MHz LAPTOP which was dad’s gift of my birthday now I’m really so happy that remind me to that golden days of my life
Im gonna cry :'( this brings so many memories...I remember playing this with my dad as a kid. How did the years gone by so fast...
ana rainbow true me2
Awww.... that's cute
What have you even done with your life
same same..
same memory
I cried when the menu music hit. This game was such a huge part of my childhood. Growing up is rough
Exactly, a huge smile when it hit. O the memories
@@dutchinfinity59912024, even those menu musics in NFS II still hit hard.
Music got me too man it still goes so hard
Remember when Need for Speed was fun, had actual, creative tracks and amazing music?
EA sure doesn't.
Lol
Justin Wilson , oh god those were the days , I still think n4s2 is the best racer ever made , n4s today is total crap
So very true that! The old NFS games are so epic, and just as fun to play today as they were back then!
EA really has lost their creative touch. I wish we had classic EA-esque original titles like this again for modern gen.
Pepperidge Farms does

I was born in 92 and I miss the 90s as well. This game will always be a great memory for me.
@@rahmanmahmud2566the 1990s racing games always is the best. And this one is no exception.
@@babyjazz101NFS II still is a beloved racing game even in June 2024.
Man, my childhood! So many memories. I didn’t have my own computer, but I would go to my relative’s house and play for hours. So many good memories...
Yeah
Ford GT = Audi Sports Car
Yeah me too
How much I loved that. 2 PC connected + pizza + cola playing career mode and unlocking final secret map. Awesome memories!
Came here just to remember that. Unlock the final secret map :)
In 2004 i played it
That was my first NFS! Still getting goosebumps from the menu theme (Romulus 3).
same here mate, this song is amazing
That was my first game, music is awesome for sure :OOO
same here, just perfect.. good old times
Same here bro.
The single most awesome track.
Absolutely love the menu music. Ahh when nfs was actually really fun to play. I love the 3rd one.
cough MOST WANTED 2012 cough cough
well can't say I've played Most wanted 2012 hardly much of a single player campaign but I still play 2005's most wanted though fun times
Yeah NFS 3 Hot Pursuit is love
@@HavenMarches Need for speed most wanted 2012 its worst!
@@Victor_2000s Yeah it was very online focused, but as the top comment said, it's really fun to play. At least in my experience.
This was the first game I ever played on PC! So many good memories.
Same bro my journey also started with this game only
The videos and musics in this game brings tears to my eyes. Their vision of future was beautiful!
I cannot believe that this amazing game was out roughly 20 years ago.
Don't even mention that please. It's hard to bear. Oh God I am old.
Now 2021 this game is still legend.
I rememember how impressed I was with N4S2 at the time. We have come a long way with racing games and graphics!
I still miss those intros in old video games
The nostalgia is strong in this one. Thanks!
I was addicted to this game 😭😭😭😭😭 really missing those days

Awesome comment. You're right. There was a shortcut in Canada race.
Man this just brought a BIG Bright Smile to my face. It's these small moments. Beautiful 😊
damn I miss the days when need for Speed was this perfect
I love the music on the aussie track
1998... first PC at home , playing this game every afternoon after-school, such good memories
"And the McLaren F1 wins!!!"
my favorite car
Best car
Yaa that's the most stylish and fastest car
Just lap
Mine too!!!!😞❤️
10 years ago i used to play this with my dad, one of my favourite games since there
As a 7 year old playing this game on my old mans PC the graphics especially on the jungle level were amazing!
the bad thing with the youth is that you pass through it when you are young
im here for the music. oh yesss
KaiSoDaM lol kick ass music dude
back when need for speed actually respected itself....
This is not just a game a emotion of childhood
Classic Need For Speed, super cars.
57:24 for instant karma
LOL
this was the first nfs game i owned the opening sequence brings back nostalgic memories
NFS2SE was the first game that i played in NFS series.....😢😮
Love those days
❤💙💜
This surely needs a remake :(

First nfs i ever played and watching this is reminding me why i loved it so much. Tracks and music are both sick.
This made me cry cause it made me remember all the times I spent hours of playing this game
Oh my gosh.. it hurts so badly.. take me back to the old good days.. My childhood memories.. 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 I don’t have time to play.. 😞 life is stressful now..
I can’t believe this. My first car game, unbelievable this memories 😭❤️
back then the game was so cool...bought it as a 11 year old and i had a lot of hours in it...FZR 2000 baby ;)

Need for Speed II SE is so awesome on the PC!!
This is the game i was playing the most during my childhood. 😭
I just want those memories back.
3dfx, baby!
Класс, до сих пор самая любимая гонка)) увы... ни как не могу запустить, смотрел со слезами на глазах.
Да, классная игра была!
А запустить можно с помощью 3DFX эмулятора. Или DOS BOX
In 97 my brother could not stop raving about this great game he played on a friend's PC. This was Wow back then. Especially the weather effects.
We used to play NFS 2 SE LAN in late 90's at one of our friend's house 6 players yes ! 6 truley physical players (Knockout Mode)

and let your Friend pass while you still held CPU , he will go Crazy !! and if let him go
you'll see him in the map like a bullet! from 0 to 1000/mph !!
I loved this game, this game was one of my first games, it brings me lots of memories...
my sweet memories....love you dude
Wish you would have done the showcase for the Mclaren. I always enjoyed that. Cool music and cool video for a badass car!

Who the hell was the voice actor previewing the courses? Jesus. Give that man a raise!
NFSII & NFSII SE are pure nostalgias for me.
This, and Roadrash... The ONLY two video games I have played in life. Absolute privilege to have been able to do this. I'm going to try and see if I can somehow run it on a Mac.
So sad they never change the camera view. This game had DETAILED interiors of each vehicle and it was SO AMAZING!
this is my first game which i played in the PC during childhood days, brings back my old memories
This game will never get old for me in terms of graphics, tracks, music and cars....NEVER!!!!
No game can match the beautiful scenery of this game. The environment in every stage is just out of this world.
Still remember each n every track - its like a dream and u r awake :(

@@gamepad3153 My old one has a Gforce FX 5200 and Windows ME.
I love this game. Used to be with me when I was home alone in my childhood
FLASHBACK, GOOD TIMES
My version of the game did not include any soundtrack at all. What a killer OST this game had 🔥🔥🔥
My friend had some of these NFS games around the late '90s. I love the music in this game, and other racing games at that time often had similarly great music. I literally put this on so I can work with something that sounds energetic in the background.
Amazing sound track!
Nice job dude.
I used to watch the title just for the sake of it. Beautiful!
Cant wait for NFS3 Hot Pursuit Longplay!
FZR 2000 baby...
Wow brings back memories ❤️
My childhood was my real life🥺🥺🥺
Mine too had so much fun and was happier too 😁
Its my favourite Childhood game.The existing feture was two player can play together. Lots of memory bring this game. I wish I can play again 😔😔😔
I really like 90s music. Music today just blends into everything else. 90s music is a thing in its own right.
The menu music just brings me back to childhood, had so much fun,
This was special, back in the day even more
i remember the crazy cheat codes you could do to enable you to drive random items from the game
i remember when this game came out... it was a dream come true. honestly every NFS was just amazing.... until maybe NFS 7-8 or so
I've Never Played This Game In My Memories Before. I Think I'm Gonna Cry. :'(
Volvi a mi infancia por un corto momento.
oh wow the Rain effect so cool :D
A recuerdos de la infancia, cuando need for speed me gustaba y tenia un OST espectacular
I also played this game before . man, I loved it and I still wish to play this game again

Admit it that the downfall to our life starts after we stopped playing this nfs2 game
That Track at min 2:00 is definitely the best track ever made from tmall the series it brings so many good memories.. :`)
This is the best childhood memory I have wid my brother!
