Description:
Need 4 Speed games always took a slight step into sequels, but this time it's like a totally new dimension of playing. There are about 20 or such cars to choose, and you can play split-screened on the same computer, or via modem. You can hunt or be hunted, either way it's difficult, but driving in the moonlight with fireworks in deep distance makes it worthy at least a look.


Notes:
Imaged from my Original in CloneCD format. Box and jewelcase scans are included. (600dpi/jpg)
This is The Australian Release, it includes local Manufactured cars, Ford Falcon AU XR8 and Holden HSV SV99 
Protection is SafeDisc 1.06.000

Setup:
Out of the box, the game is dedicated to run under Windows 9x, The Cloned Image was tested and runs fine under WinXP Sp2 using D3d settings (no system updates or game update patches) using Directx9c + Geforce7600GT. However there are problems getting it to run under XP32 with "Service Pack 3" and XP64 Sp2 without patching.  

I have included patches to run the game under XP-Sp3, Xp64, Vista and Windows7 (32/64bit) with tutorials.


Notes:
Mobygames has the wrong Release Date information. Disc creation dates and Copywrite is verified as 1999.

The image MUST be mounted as the first available CD/DVD drive. Drive letters can be assigned to virtual drives using windows disk managment, or burn to a CDR disc with a burner capable of reproducing Safedisc Protection.
