This trilogy of games is extremely special to me. It's when I finally had a PC of my own, and could play these games at my leisure. The music was absolutely spectacular, especially Underground 1's OST. I still jam it to this day
All 3 of these games might very well be the gold standard of what a street racing game can be. Underground introduced so many people to the world of car tuning, Underground 2 had a truly fun world to drive in, and Most Wanted might be the peak of racer on cop action outside of Hot Pursuit 2010. It's a true shame that the only way you can play these games currently is to either pirate them on PC (since they're abandonware), or find the console versions. Having these games on GOG would not only help perserve history, it would make it far easier for people to get to experience the best of this wonderful series.

Starsky & Hutch
Starsky & HutchStarsky & Hutch is an arcade racing game based on the popular TV series from the 70s, released to tie in with the film. The game includes 18 missions, each based on an episode of the TV show and introduced by Antonio 'Huggy Bear' Fargas. There is also a free roaming mode, in which the player explores the GTA-esque environment looking for action and trouble. Like the film, the game does not entirely play it straight. Starsky & Hutch are actually shooting a TV show, and the scoring for each mission reflects how ratings-friendly your driving is. You are awarded gold, silver or bronze medals for each mission depending on performance, and must get at least 1 gold and 2 silvers on season 1 for a second season to be commissioned, and 3 golds and 2 silvers in season 2 for there to be a third for you to play through. The overall goal in each mission is usually to chase and destroy a criminal's car. There is always a secondary target as well. In addition, the player will gain viewers by hitting the bad guy, pulling off elaborate jumps and skids, nearly hitting civilians, and hitting the bonus targets such as canisters which are strewn through the levels. Hitting civilians will lose viewers.

Need for Speed: Underground 2
Need for Speed: Underground 2Need For Speed Underground 2 takes place in Bayview after the events of Need for Speed: Underground. The prologue begins with the player driving in a Nissan Skyline R34 in Olympic City (though the racing scenes are actually in Bayview), the setting of NFS:UG. He then receives a race challenge from a rather ominous personality who offers him a spot on his crew, but "won't take 'no' for an answer." The player races off — despite Samantha's warnings — only to be ambushed by a mysterious driver in a rage that totals his Skyline. The driver, who has a unique scythe tattoo, makes a call confirming the accident, and the flashback fades out.
