- The Need For Speed never received a licensed expansion pack. Unlicensed though? Well, there was at least one: We All Need Extra Speed, released by UK Gold in 1997 as a European exclusive. With 500+ custom tracks!

Here's the track file for the Rusty Springs course that I made in the video.
Enjoy the brokenness!

Thanks!
Thanks Clint. I'll have to play this.
Awesome ending :D
Should've called it "Rusty Trombone"
THANK YOU!
"We All Need Extra Speed"
...I don't need it THAT badly
I dunno. I need it pretty badly. As soon as I saw that unboxed I knew we were in for a great video.
I really do. I want to see a Fiat Punto going at 600 kp/h.
Yes, it’s true, you can never have enough amphetamines stockpiled
yes
I'll settle for more boost so I can get up to speed quicker.

Thanks for putting this up on the Internet Archive. I appreciate your dedication to digital preservation!
You bet, the world needs all the extra speed it can get.
@@LGR i agree, but kids should not use it still
@@Petar321_GT Thanks for thinking of the kids, Bill. All the best to Melinda and the rest of the philanthropists at the foundation.

Playing old obscure mods can be a weird experience. That there is this very good chance that you are the only person on earth playing this mod at this moment. Experiencing something near lost and forgotten to obscurity only to be pulled from the void once more.
Better, you could be the last one doing this for ever. Like burning a CD for the last time of your life without being aware of it
I think these thoughts too ...
little kitty Light disproves religion? What?
You've twigged a memory of a 10 year old me, watching my dad having a near mental breakdown trying to install all of this and subsequently going til 3am then giving up completely! The golden days!
How is he doing?
What we really need is Extra LGR.
Even lazier game reviews lol
you wake up and find a mysterious CDrom full of new LGR videos
the resolution is low but the voice does appear to be Clint's
the subject matter becomes increasingly more bizarre as you go down the file list, first reviewing semi-fictional parody games like Clapping Party (video runtime 46 minutes despite the game only having about 4 seconds of content), then moving on toward seemingly impossible and unlikely games with titles like Get Away From Your Own Arm and Are You Afraid of Numbers?
Finally the last one on the list is a Lazy Game Review of Polybius 4: The Polybiest
Maybe an extra channel named: XLGR? ;p
What we really need is for kuruhs to play this mod on the extra section of the current nfs marathon or for him to play this next nfs marathon
@@doodle4503 I agree.
"Your PAL", that has got to be the best unappreciated pun I've seen all year.
Was looking for this comment lol... I love it and immediately commented when I noticed it.
Two time mention on LGR things? Life is great 😁
Very glad you enjoyed this.
Thanks for sending this to him so we can all marvel at its oddness
I like the detail of the card being from Porto (Portugal). :-)
Deckard Games what was the second one?
@@psionski it was the opening mail video 😉
@@MyHeadHz My pleasure
Now I know why "UK Gold" sounds familiar. There's an "Are you Ready and Alert" CD right next to my desktop.
I was trying to recall where I'd heard of UK Gold... then realized it was probably Yukon Gold, a totally different recreational item, if I remember correctly!

21:10 Haha, that shadow first and then the car dropping in is just pure nerd-bliss.
Another fun fact about the 288 GTO artwork: the car was only built with left hand drive. The artwork on this and the Amiga box is of a nonexistent car!
I really wish they'd release the old NFS games on GOG - NFS 4, for example, is still an utterly fantastic game with brilliant track design and satisfying driving physics.
High stakes?
@@bookshelffury Yeah, or "Road Challenge" as it was inexplicably called here in the UK.
I've been playing it again lately with the aid of dgVoodoo and some unofficial patch. Great fun. Only issue is, I can't get the damn game to detect two different xbox 360 controllers - one of them works... two, it thinks they're same controller. If I could just get that to work, splitscreen was a blast back in the day.
I believe they're trying to get them. Electronic Farts has not been the kindest towards DRM-free distribution, paid or not. We'll see what the future holds.
PSX version had new tracks and campaign. PC version was just a reskin of 3
@@FeelingShred uh, the PC version had all the new tracks (plus the 3:HP ones) and the campaign too...
I sometimes like to visualise computers as a massive physical archieves where usually everything is organized and could be found rather easily.
But that track menu looked like a bunch of files dumped on The floor where you could just grab one to get a random track. :D
I had a couple of map compilations for Doom and Duke3D that were sort of similar. Just a big old pile of random maps collected from BBSes and only vaguely thrown into folders on a CD. If you were lucky, there would be a readme file, but usually it was just an undocumented map file. Will it be any good? Who knows!
@@thastump Yep - the good ol' days of figuring shit out by yourself :P
We all need extra speed.
So much so you clip right through the map.
O love your choice of background audio! It just forced me to dig out my copy of descent 2 for windows! I hope that you are going to do a episode about the turbulent history of Parallax software and there abrupt end.
Should watch the replay on that AI running around on your track, just to see how in the hell it managed to fly like an eagle.
@@smpmuzpid for the first time i feel alive
your voice cracks so many times in this vid and i love it so much because it feels so natural and uneditted
Oh boy, I never played NFS on the PC, but this video brought back some memories of how unbelievably cumbersome early modding tools were! Modding was really a chore back in the days.
"We all *need* _extra_ speed."
*Need.*
_Extra._
If there exists a surplus of speed, would that not mean our requirements were satisfied?
No
"extra" in this case is synonymous with "additional", which makes the sentence make sense again.
@@Dragondraikk it made sense anyway
My PC need some speed
Ndlanding Come at me scrublord, I’m ripped.
The earlier times when you could find unofficial addons, expansions, sequels, what have you, and the companies (for the most part) don't quickly come after the sellers.
Now we live in a time where they cease things left and right.
So sad.
It is sad, considering that the best and most ambitious projects were shut down. Streets of Rage Remake is very likely the best 2D beatemup of all time. SEGA called... First KOTOR is one of the best RPGs ever, but the engine 8s broken and doesn't run well on modern systems or in HD (text becomes unreadable, FMVs need exotic codes etc.), remake looked very promising but EA... Worst thing is that companies don't use those licenses themselves. Just sit on them.
Except that modding is built into platforms like steam providing devs and hobbyists the opportunityto make content within the limits of copyright. I do however miss this bootleg era too though!! I personally loved the "1001 games in one" cartridges for the game boy that had awful ripoffs of classic games. Oh nostalgia!!
That's why fan game remakes should be announced only when completed and with download link.
@@nikomiku11 yup
@FluffY PenguiN The distinction between Developer and Publisher.
00:57, the italian text.
"Sedetevi sul seggiolino di guida"...
Which translated in english is "Climb into the driver's booster seat".
Perfect translation I see 👌
Bhe oddio ce ne sono di peggio dai
The portuguese text has mistakes as well.
The driver MUST be Hammond if he needs a booster seat

Apple Maps: "I don't see anything wrong"
It’s like someone tried porting STUNTS tracks to NFS and said good enough
My NFS for DOS big box is on display in my room, and has been for ~15 years. I was super excited when i saw you open this in a previous vid. Knowing you share an affection for the game / franchise, i figured we didn't have long to wait until you covered this :^D. Awesome!
1:10 kinda makes sense. It's an import/distribution company. US Gold was one of the biggest importers of American games to British market, by that logic, U. K. Gold would bring software from the Islands to the mainland Europe... I guess?
Turbo Cup actually features the Porsche 944 and no Ferrari too, lol. I had it on the Atari ST.
I want to see more tracks now!
Thanks for sharing
When you get huge nostalgia watching a game you've never got to play.
Maybe it's simply I remember the same years I used to play these types of games in general.
Absolutely! When I see low-fi graphics, things like digitized sprites or prerendered stuff, it subconsciously brings up feelings we had when seeing similar style originally. It's the same process people have towards food that's similar to grandma's or their local traditions and art, even though they are not the pieces you seen as a kid, it feels like it. That's what nostalgia is. Things that you associate with the warm parts of your childhood or youth.
Yup
Oh man, this brings me back to the need for speed days. On free NETZERO dial up downloading cars. Good days. Thanks for the great content LGR
TheGoldenWolf lol netzero. Thanks for the memories😂
I had this growing up. It brought so much nostalgia when I saw the box in your unboxing video. I never owned NFS but that didn't matter. This was a source for some excellent games (the shareware games folder) that I probably spent hundreds of hours playing. I mean, Whacky Wheels, Sky Roads (that I like), Lamborghini - American Challenge. I loved them!
Theis Andersen sky roads is freeware now
what a coincidence I was just re-watching your NFS retro reviews
Love to see all these add-ons. Had no idea when I was a kid that these even existed. Thanks for another great vid!
This actually reminds me of the Doom Developers Kit. I have a copy of it somewhere. Tons of WADs and utilities (map editors, etc.) but not really a centralised menu system beyond a catalogue.
Watching you do all this seemingly on the fly is something to see!
This brings back so many memories. I first played this on my Pentium 90, a black Packard-Bell, back in the mid-90s when I was in high school. I remember playing dial-up on my dad's office fax-line with my 33.6 baud modem :) Can't belief it's been 20 years since then
That last track is some road runner type shenanigans.
I saw UK Gold and thought it would be a subsidiary of U.S. Gold (1984-1996). The well known British video game publisher.
Pretty sure they were bought by Eidos Interactive in 1996.
"What a magnificent and high quality track" - Clint of LGR, 2019
😂
This feels like an old LGR Plays Episode and I love it!
Please, feel free to make more videos like this. I very much enjoyed seeing you have so much fun messing around
Take a drink every time LGR says "track."
a drink of water, so you're properly hydrated
You have such a great laugh, I love when you're having fun regardless of what you're playing.
Thanks for sharing this bit of vintage fun Clint! This was very enjoyable to watch.
I remember those expansion packs you showed in the start, cool. Brings back memories. There was a lot of expansion packs back in the late 90`s, atleast how I remember it, usually from commercials through magazines.
So UK Gold is a Netherland company, and US Gold is a UK company. Maybe there is a Holland Gold company from Australia, or something..
I could easily watch a half hour vid of you reacting to broken tracks of your own creation!
Thx for this "LGR Thing", & yes I absolutely enjoyed every bit of it 😀
Keep up the great content love random stuff like this from childhood years.
You should start a series purely based on Expansions! I love videos like this where you go through all the installation stuff and then review the stuff on the disk!
Fantastic, had to stop the video at the end of your custom track I was laughing so hard, and seriously the way the ai handled that track join was a maze ING !!! Thank you for the effort in making these vlogs
weird, i was just binge watching your vids and stumbled on this new one... nice!
LGR is the only channel that'd spend over half of the video going through the file structure of the CD. But that's not a criticism: That's exactly what I would've done if I got ahold of this, and you basically gave me all of the satisfaction of investigating this weird gem as if I had it myself. LGR is like the 90s PBS of videogame content and I love it.
"This Old House" but for retro tech.
Man, this one came out of nowhere... Props to your dedication to the preservation of the Need For Speed archive!
Thank you so much for the uploade ;D and archive ing it :D
Oh my gosh, by the end I was laughing just as hard as you were! Thanks for a well-needed couple of chuckles, Clint. :)
I spent many, many hours on Need for Speed, brought back many memories. Thanks for sharing!!
I loved that intro, it was short, highlighted what this will be about and the animation of your logo is great!
Funny seeing that ‘are you ready and alert’ .. I remember buying that box back in the day!
I love your racing game vids. It's an excellent crossover between my love of retro computing, and anything automotive.
Wow I thought this was an older LGR review that I some how haven't seen yet. Love seeing more game reviews!
This is the most fun I've had with an LGR video :D Also funny trying to visit all those ancient URLs and finding them gone.
I've had dreams where I'm a passanger in a car and we go up a steep hill that's as steep as the bit at the end of the edited track. Also, I think that Alpine track was awesome. Forget ten year old me, I love that now!
That was a trip Clint. Interesting mods to the course. Photo negative versions would have been the 'cherry on top of the cake.'
That was a great fun watch! Love content like this. Thanks.
That ending oddity on the custom track reminds me of the steep slopes in Mario 64 that you can walk up with no issue
LGR, your videos make me happy!
Can someone in the community create a compilation of Clint saying "the fact that this exists amuses me" so I can sleep better at night?
Maybe
@@nimsi4508 ❤️❤️
Where does he say it exactly
In this video is at like 50-54 but in other videos u might find in the oddware playlist , I don't have time to look this up, and if u do not either , is totally okay man ! Live on and thanks for the comment ! ❤️
As a Brit I remember these and UKGold, it's because the average person didn't really have the means to exploit BBS systems back in the day for all of their delicious innards, so we had to rely on coverdiscs and packs like these-of which there were many-to get our modding jollies. Honestly, it was a service being offered to those who otherwise wouldn't have been able to get into mods at the time.
Coverdiscs were a real boon especially so, you never knew what you'd find on one. They were delightful and I'm sad that America missed out on that particular joy. Like I said though, you gents had BBSes.
I'd like to see more of this. It's fascinating watching someone who'd never experienced any of htis back in the day expericing it now. UKGold was a fairly common name back in the '80s and the '90s, having published numerous home computer games for the usual suspects from Sinclair Computers, Amstrad, Atari, and Commodore.
NfS 4 High Stakes had the best mods by far.
@21:29 I laughed out loud harder that any other time watching one of your videos. When the Miata came falling straight outta the sky I lost it! Thanks for the laugh Clint! 🤣🤣🤣
Never knew mods existed. Now I have to go make my own tracks somehow!
Man, NFS has one of the most iconic game covers in my opinion.
Yes, I saw the Porto logo in the letter... Nice touch. 🇵🇹
This Reminds me of
Cruzin World (N64).
I used to Love that Game when I
was a kid. 😎👍
Always wanted to own the 3DO because of this game. Finished up playing on the PS1, a decent version as it turns out. Split screen and decent handling. Probably the first time I felt 'weight' in a car, almost a sim in its day. Great memories.
I had this when new, bought it from a Costco style store here in the UK called Macro during a visit with my mum. If I remember correctly I had more fun playing around with all the extra shareware software that came on the disc. Probably still have the disc at my parent house.
I love all of your Need for Speed videos
So UA-cam in all their greatness unsubscribed me from your channel and for some reason I couldn't remember "LGR." After months of searching, I found you!
Could you do a review of the 1990s simulation series “Great Naval Battles.” It’s a hidden gem that hasn’t really been covered by any channel.
No. 5?
I just ordered a copy of The Need for Speed SE for the PC along with High Stakes and HP3 II, and Porsche Unleashed for PC from Ebay. Hopefully they will work with my windows 10 pc :) Also great video as always man keep up the great work!!!
Would love to see more dives into the modding scenes of old retro games like this!!
I know this is a big ask, but will you review Waterworld: The Quest for Dryland? The game play it's self is not that interesting, but the cut scenes are all live action and it was a technical achievement in video compression, which is interesting!
Sounds interesting. Are you interested in water, oceans, islands, and marine features in general?
@@vcolinc Yes, in a way! I create videos about the 1995 film Waterworld. I am currently scripting and researching a video on the surprisingly rich history of tie-in video games for the film, when I came across The Quest for Dryland and its super campy live-action cut scenes.
@@TheAtoll Well although it has been a few years since I've seen the movie, it was still quite a while after it was released when I did see it. Waterworld was much better than critics made it out to be at the time. I was surprised at how good it was when I watched it. It always helps to have low expectations, but I think I would have really enjoyed it nonetheless. To my surprise, it was a great adventure movie set on a brilliantly large scale. I wasn't aware there was a Waterworld video game or video games, but I can see how that leaves plenty of scope for imaginative gameplay design.
More than that though, the film is quite philosophical. It examines several things about life in a fictional dystopian future. It is quite allegorical and full of symbolism. It's much more than just a "mad-max at sea" movie and certainly not a "washout" or some such hackneyed pun like so many hacks who thought they were being funny at the time said.
I will check out your channel and have a look...
@@TheAtoll that sounds pretty cool, subbed and will marathon later!
@@vcolinc Thanks for you thoughtful reply! I agree, Waterworld is definitely large scale, almost to the films detriment, which makes it fun to be a fan of!
I've been waiting for this video! xD
Awww, remember when you 'tagged' other channels and commented a lot on video's that were in the same realm you were in. :')
It's nice to grow ! :)
Your laugh is great. Lol ♥ I love your videos. (Hello from North Dakota!)
This video reminded me of it and I had to check if you've done a review before, I was surprised to see that you have not reviewed Stunts!
stunts holds a very special place in my heart, it was one of the first games I ever played on our family computer growing up. I would very much like to hear your review on it, if you're able.
wow @18:15 that was probably the most 90swave thing you've ever put on the channel for me
There was a British company in the 80s and 90s called US Gold so I’m guessing UK Gold was a direct parody
Seeing you play your modded Rusty Springs track was funny as hell. :)
Fun fact:
UK Gold also used to be the name of a TV channel here, they showed reruns of all the old sitcoms from the 70s and 80s. I think they're called UKTV Gold now. I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong
It's officially now just called "Gold", but it is part of the UKTV company - ie. the commercial BBC channels that they aren't allowed to use BBC branding in the UK.
My Dad had a copy of Ford Simulator I played as a child. It was on a 5.25" floppy disk that was white if I remember correctly. Played like a B&W version of Outrun. But I do remember it would have little cockpit segments like the owners manual to show you how the car operated.
Thanks for sharing this awesome bit of memory lane. :D
wow. good video! and taks for the iso addon
That Family Game Night 1 for xbox 360 music really takes me back
That track at the end looks like the exit of Rock Bottom in Spongebob
Heehhehhee. That name is so, so funny and weird. 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks from the laughs Clint. You are indeed the best UA-camr of all time. 👍
This was a fun video. I'd love to see more of those ancient custom tracks.
