The Original The Need For Speed

[Mcc457]

I was digging through my garage yesterday, and happened upon a copy of The Need For Speed, the original one from the mid-90s, it's on 3 floppy disks. I popped it into my Dell Optiplex GX520, which has 1 floppy disk port. The first time installing I get a "data read error" so I close the Command Box, and skip the first step. It installs like normal, unpacking its files, taking out disks and inserting the new ones. I go to the folder, and tried running it in normal mode and compatibility mode. Does anyone have any knowledge of this? Thanks!

It may just not work. I had a NFS 2 CD that was from like 2002 or something. Wouldn't run on any newer system 32 or 64 bit evenin compat mode. Didn't even do setup. Said it wasn't made for the system. Old games rock man :/

Gosh can't remember what I did for NFS II and Hot Pursuit (I consider it NFS III) but they both work on my Windows 7 Laptop.

I think NFS II may've needed an emulator or special driver download-- I remember torrenting something, a patch or set of files... YOUTUBE tutorial maybe?

For NFS III it was more straightforward-- just compatibility settings I believe.

I have the NFS I SE disc (road and track edition) and can try it on my PC and see what happens if you'd like (On second thought it might be at home, but next time I'm in MD maybe I can grab it up).
