Here we are with the second NFS. Considering that Ive done the first two, the next one in line should be a no-brainer. I will say that I do plan on venturing to other games, but for now Id like to concentrate on the racing series thats pretty much responsible for my unhealthy obsession for cars and scenic drives.
The sequel to TNFS, Need for Speed II, released in 1997 was the first in the series to have a global theme for its track locations. Like the Special Edition of TNFS, NFS 2 SE received a PC only release later that year. Among many new features was the addition of a Mexican coastal track, Last Resort. This totaled to 8 tracks, with Monolithic Studios as the bonus. Seriously, the Hollywood stage has got to be the strangest, most interesting track in NFS history.
NFS 2 SE was also the first to have optional 3dfx graphics provided you had a 3dfx Voodoo card installed. While it may not look like much today, back then it was the best looking game that I owned, which was soon surpassed by NFS 3 once that rolled in. The differences between 3dfx and software render mode were significant, with different sky textures and even weather effects on some tracks. If youre curious to see what non-3dfx looks like, check the PS1 version out as theyre quite similar. The obvious downside to 3dfx is that you lose the nifty 2D cockpit view.
Oh, and one last trivia Id like to mention: you can drive a T-rex in the game. Yes, you heard me, a T-rex (via cheats). Think thats strange? How about driving your T-rex in traffic... filled with T-rex?! I tell you, what other racing game lets you do that?

Enjoy the ride. ;)

![Cruise Mode - Second Wind [Out Run 2019 - Feel the Beat/Steal into the Night]
Second Wind - May of 2013 marks 10 years since I bought this car. Figured I should do something special (or silly) for the machine that has given me much grief and pleasure over the years.
Out Run 2019 music by Shigeki Sako. Feel the Beat and Steal into the Night composed and performed by Dual Noise and Systematic of Rhythm respectively. Both recorded from a model 2 Genesis.
