The Need for Speed (1994)
Genres:Simulator, Racing
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Welcome to The Need For Speed racing game. Here you'll find spine-tingling action coupled with awesome graphics. As you race down an alpine road in your choice of eight high performance cars, you'll be amazed by the detail and realism. The sophisticated physics model recreates the feel of the cars themselves; you'll notice the difference in handling, breaking and just plain power. Plan your strategy for each track, there are six to choose from during regular play, and each demands a different style of driving.
There's also a bonus track if you win the Tournament. There are four game modes to try, with an option to compete against another driver over a modem. With different cars, different tracks, and different styles of racing fueling your need for speed, you'll find your addiction growing to a fewer pitch. No need to worry, when you crash and burn in the game, there's always another day.Show more

I remember being blown away by the graphics at the time - nothing else was even close. And I was like "Those interiors look so real!". And it turned out they were 'real';) I've spent so many hours in it and I'd definitely play even more.
Back in 1996, this was my favorite racing game. I might have played the demo version with a friend for at least dozens of hours. The Special Edition was my first big box game, which I still have in mint condition. I remember I had to create a boot floppy disk in order to make it run properly on my AMD K5 with 8MB of RAM. It'd be great to play it again today with the 'Good Old Game Preservation Program' seal of compatibility and functionality. If GOG someday manages to release this game with online multiplayer, it's definitely a day one buy for me!
This was my first forays into the Racing Genre on my Dad's 486 that ran DOS that had a physical "Turbo" button on the Case to increase the CPU clock speed.
The Music, Gameplay, UI, and Car Showcases enthralled me for Hours, and I wanted to watch them again and again.

We got our first PC, a Pentium II 90Hz if I recall correctly. One Saturday, my brother and me were watching TV, as you did in the 90s, when our father came back from the shops. But this time, he came with a new PC-Game in his hands out of the blue and we freaked out, my brother saw this title at his friend's before and that was enough for my father to gift this to us. Apart from that dearest special incident, I remember this game was never frustrating, just made fun and I looooved the viper
The original The Need for Speed (1994) isn’t just the start of a legendary racing franchise — it’s a foundational title in racing game history. Developed by EA and Road & Track, this game brought an unmatched level of realism, style, and presentation to the racing genre in the early ‘90s. It’s more than nostalgia — it’s preservation.
Featuring exotic cars like the Lamborghini Diablo and Dodge Viper, authentic engine sounds, real-world stats, and detailed car showcases, The Need for Speed delivered a car lover’s dream. It wasn’t just about racing — it was about experiencing high-end machines in a way that few games ever had. The early versions even had police chases, replay cameras, and full-motion video segments — all groundbreaking for the time.
Bringing The Need for Speed to GOG would preserve this important piece of gaming history in a DRM-free, easily playable format for modern systems. With updated compatibility and controller support, it could find a second life with retro fans and new players alike.
GOG has become a home for classic PC games, and the original Need for Speed deserves to be there. It’s not just a great game — it’s where one of the biggest racing franchises ever began. Let’s bring it back, tuned up for today’s hardware, while honoring its place as a true trailblazer in the world of racing games.

Black & White 2In the game, the player takes the role of a god called from the void (nothingness) to help those who invoked them. However, the player is not an omnipotent style god, but rather a god who rises and falls with his believers and the player must help develop their nature according to their good or evil desires. The player also has a creature, their physical representation in the world, which takes the form of an anthropomorphic ape, lion, wolf, turtle, cow, or tiger. Its physical manifestation can grow to an immense size, and adopt a good or evil persona separate of the player's. They develop their character as the player rewards or punishes their actions. In addition to the god simulation and city-building elements introduced in the original Black & White, Black & White 2 also features elements of real-time strategy gameplay, with the addition of controllable warfare and fighting units.Top Action Fantasy Comedy Sandbox
