The Screamer series were excellent and the first proper arcade racer on the PC, then there was nothing for years.

Don't remember the rally version at all, but Screamer itself was great

I preferred this:

Hehe, looks awful now but DX7 graphics were a revolution back in 2000

The first need for speed must have been around 96/97? Then NFS2 and one of the best arcade racers - NFS2SE. I had the 3dfx edition, amazing graphics and gameplay at the time. Bet it still looks ok for today actually

1994 (or at least the 3DO version was). NFS2 was 1997.

Games were so much better then, i played network Q for many hours. I got shift and think its rubbish in comparison to games from the 90s. Sure it looks better but thats it. Im going to install network Q tonight, pitty i cant get it to save right in dos box. I was playing hioctane and carmageddon last night

I had NASCAR - it was awesome, and Screamer 1 and 2! Great games!

I still have my original Orchid Righteous 3DFX boxed.

Xenoxide · 21 Sep 2009 at 17:20

OMG...I totally remember that game.

I ran it on an AMD K6 300MHz, 32MB RAM, and a ATi RAGE 64.

I had countless hours of fun in front of it. I even think it came free on the front of a magazine!

ahhhh the memories

the jump from software to the likes of 3DFX.
even till this day i've never noticed such a jump in graphics.
2 x voodoo 3DFX

I had that Indy car racing game! Came with my old Gateway P150 PC back in the day, along with Virtua Fighter, Descent etc etc...

Loved the intro on the Indy Car game

...."This is INDY CAR RACING!!!"
