The Need for Speed

Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed is a 1994 racing video game, released on the 3DO and ported to MS-DOS, Windows, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It is the first installment released in the Need for Speed series. The premise of the game involves racing in sport cars, including several exotic models and Japanese imports.

There is practically no player who has not heard about the game The Need for Speed, but not many people know that this game originally appeared on the 3DO Interactive Multiplayer! 

Next it was made for Sony PlayStation, DOS, Sega Saturn and Windows. 

The game struck the players with a special realism and a rather high level of detailed 3D graphics for both the 3DO system and 1994. Together with Road & Track, realistic car physics was developed, a real gear shift system. Therefore, the full name of the game Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed. The game "Need for Speed" uses real sports cars now called supercars: Lamborghini Diablo, Ferrari 512, Dodge Viper, Chevrolet Corvette ZR-1, Porsche 911 Carrera, Toyota Supra Turbo (Mark IV), Honda NSX, Mazda RX-7, and also a bonus Warrior car.

The game was noted for its realism and audio and video commentaries. Electronic Arts collaborated with automotive magazine Road & Track to match vehicle behavior, including the mimicking of the sounds made by the vehicles' gear control levers. The game also contained precise vehicle data with spoken commentary, several "magazine-style" images of each car interior and exterior and short video clips highlighting the vehicles set to music.
