My first ever videogame, I still remember the day my father brang it home and how mesmerized it left me. All the hours we shared driving through Hometown, Atlantica and Empire City are a treasure will always live in our hearts, and revive them will be a big present for the father and the son who grew up with it.
One of my first games ever. It has a R129 SL and my parents' have the same gen SL. NFS is what got me into cars also. The soundtrack is amazing, with lots of drum and bass tracks and I still listen to the soundtrack to this day.
"Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit" and "Need for Speed (6): Hot Pursuit 2" are, in my opinion, the best and defining Need for Speeds of the pre-Underground era. Instead of the city-centric tuning-car fantasy of the later games, the early NfSs titles were all about racing with sports cars in exotic places, being chased by the police - or chasing others as the police. As a result, is has a very different vibe, with a focus on more rural but very beautiful environments. There is a certain world-building "vibe" that got lost in the search for coolness/edgyness of the later titles. The Home-Town map, which I played for endless hours in split-scree-coop has to this day shaped my perception of rural America.
I had been a fan of the NFS series since we got our copy of the original NFS SE, but NFS III: Hot Pursuit is when the series hit its stride. One of the first games we had that supported full hardware 3D rendering, coupled with an amazing soundtrack was just the tip on the iceberg for this arcade racer. The exotic cars, simple progression system, fantastic locations with alternate routes made for hours of entertainment, and of course the re-introduction of the Police, best in the series until NFS: Most Wanted. Post launch there was also a big modding scene, using custom utilities to browse and modify the game files at will. This will always be the nest NFS had to offer in its long line of titles.
Need for Speed 3, 4 and 5 were my favourite games in the series. If you do bring it back, PLEASE remove the polygon limit and the 50 car limit and perhaps allow us to add unlimited modded maps. Add on cars and tracks is what made those games thrive for years after release.

This, alongside NFS4HS, was the first racing game I ever played. I loved the beautiful track design, and looking back, I love the cars of that era - the Pontiac Firebird and BMW e39 were gems. Getting away from the police Crown Victorias going 300 kph was a major achievement. And unlike most other non-racetrack games, it has dashboard view. (The biggest difference between NFS3 and NFS4 was that in this iteration, the dashboard was 2D, while NFS4 had 3d dashboards.)
Playing this game with other people at a few times and the chaos that occured was unforgettable and when playing by myself against the CPU drivers can be annoying at times but humourest when they bug out. This is one of the few racing games that I enjoy and I would love to own it again
NFS III was the first game I saw using a 3DFX card and I was blown away by the graphics. I picked the game up and it was amazing but unfortunately I did not have a 3DFX card and had to use the Software Renderer until I was able to get an ATI Rage card that did little for the game. The game was awesome though and I love it to this day.
NFS III was an amazing Arcade Racer that was a blast to play, escaping the police at breakneck speeds. So much fun.

Ace DriverAce Driver made extensive use of the CPU Assist technique whereby a trailing player would be given a significant speed boost to allow them to catch the leading player. However, the speed boost continued for a short while after the losing player had overtaken the leader - leading to a tactic known as boosting where a player would deliberately allow themselves to lose the lead, then during the last half of the last game lap would easily take back the lead with no hope of the opposing player catching them.
Boosting also meant that straight skill races were difficult to have as CPU assist would be continually changing the losing players speed and position.
