There's something about the menus of this game that I absolutely adore. As a kid I used to stay in the menus browsing the cars and listening to the fantastic music just as much as I played the races.
You hit the memory central, just like drugs hit the dopamine, rofl. Same, man. Back when developers thoroughly cared about their games overall quality. There are no tracks to skip. Almost every original PlayStation game soundtracks were carefully crafted and designed. We, 90's kids are blessed with these. Bought my first PlayStation back in '98, reminiscing the fuck out of it till to this day.
I feel the same way. The way the menu is designed in this version of NFS:HS is very simplistic yet professional, and gives off a mysterious vibe; a surreal showroom of cars with car manufacture slowly displaying itself on the screen as the car, with its lights on, lights up into view from pitch black rotating slowly. This is what I call giving the players just the right amount of information.
I remember how hard was this for me in the psx (12 years ago). But when I finally beat nemesis and bullit in this championship I felt realized for an entire month, the best achievement in my life (those times)
bring back my childhood memories.. my fav racing game beside granturismo saga. it was the most realistic with damage to car and environtment, gorgeous showroom, incredible soundtrack and the sound FX was very nice for ps1. i was fed up to race with mclaren on last championship, because it's a fast car and the AI getting stronger. what a memory!
I remember when I was like 6 years old and i could not race this car, always crashing into the walls and stuff. Now I play this game on psx and I race the f1 gtr longtail like a boss. nice video man.
I miss this game so damn much. Instead of the controller, I had a steering wheel and gas/brake pedal combo system when I was younger, did pretty damn well with it. 😭
It seems that you didnt played NFS1 and 2 on PS1. They are both way more harder than this, both for the AI and the clunky controls. Bad track design doesnt help either.
@@sebastiankulche I just beat NFS 1 & 2 on ps1, never struggled harder to beat a race or tournament than his right here, pretty sure it's because I got by playing on automatic instead of manual all the way until this tournament. It's going to force me to play manual
@@scottdecowski4913 Or you just have so much free time or you dont remember how the game was. I literally spend hours to win a single race in both games. In comparison the 3do version i can win the three races in hard difficulty without too much effort.
This was my favorite race out of all. Listening to electro optik knowing this was the last race and if you don't finish first then what a crappy way to end the tournament.
i also remember playing this game with the steering wheel and gas/pedal combo set back in the day, fucking crazy that it's been over 10 years since i played this game
I remember racing against this car in this game with, I believe a porsche 911 turbo. And lose consistently. I think I was like 7 or 8 at the time. But I finally beat it one day in single player. I thought would get the car but I didn't and it pissed me off. But this game made me fall in love with the McLaren F1 GTR. I hope they put it in GT sport. Hope.
Specifications explaine my personal feeling of driving mcLaren. Especially weight distribution F/R. Thnx. By the way, you're very good in control car on the road. I envy ;)
I remember the PC version being pretty boring imo, I remember specifically the cars looking god-awful though, they made the cars look like toy hotwheels which did not fit the sim-cade racing vibe that I assume they were going for.
worst *EVER* made is crazy, back in the day this McLaren was absolutely dominanting racetracks, Other teams had actually began investigating because they thought McLaren was using parts that weren't regulated for the races, but nope, all race-legal power. Not to mention, it looks cool.

same dude, i miss those days
Same. I always stick around at the main menu just to see what they will play on the screen
The song Paradigm Shifter always hit the spot in the menu.

YOU BEAT THE LAP RECORD!!! YOU WON THE RACE!!! man it still feels good after 17 years.

Ahh memories! Same here, I got this game when I was 7
How did you avoid this game drifting everywhere? This was where i had to stop playing since this car control was so bad.
@@benjaminmcewan7492 it drives very loose . best with manual gearbox and using on and off throttle control .
@@benjaminmcewan7492 the CLK was easier to drive
Never realized this but the crowd roars at 6:05 when you beat the lap record. Nice detailing!
Wow. Didnt notice that
I always loved the showroom while looking at the beautiful cars, ahh the memories
Oh my gosh.. the menu and the music.. nostalgia overload! I LOVED this game back in the day!!
I was mesmerised as a kid when I started the races, the engine revving sound sounded so great
i fell in love with mclaren f1 from this game
Yep same.
My first need for speed game ever. The memories man...
I miss this game so damn much. Instead of the controller, I had a steering wheel and gas/brake pedal combo system when I was younger, did pretty damn well with it. 😭
the key to this game..... never use brakes.
Sad but true! :D
Game have huge deacceleration when u release throttle and steer
10:53 I don't know if Bullit was just being clumsy, or attempted to end your entire career. LOL I would've expected that from Frost.
Raceway in this championship is one of the HARDEST RACES EVER in NFS history
Agree. The top 2 a.i always run away very quickly

@@sebastiankulche I actually played both of them a few months ago and you're right

I remember playing this game as a kid. Man, I beat that last circuit so many times. I had a Mclaren in every color. Blue was my fav.
Need For Speed High Stakes and Gran Turismo 2 both these racing games hold a special place in my heart!
Childhood memories,I'm now 36 but the fascination is still there.
Great driving, man! This championship is so hard!
I could never win it 😭
This was my favorite race out of all. Listening to electro optik knowing this was the last race and if you don't finish first then what a crappy way to end the tournament.
I can smell the nostalgia on this NFS. Gosh what a time these games were and still.
Nice license plate!!(Speedr!)
i also remember playing this game with the steering wheel and gas/pedal combo set back in the day, fucking crazy that it's been over 10 years since i played this game
Top tip for passing this brutal final test: Cockpit cam. Helps you take the corners way better.
Unfortunately there isnt anyone in PS1
ah this part ....its like racing with 5 razor from most wanted xD
good old times. The graphic of course is old but still i never enjoyed any racing game as much as this one.
omg this video made in 2013 🥺💔 I can't believe how years go so fast
Nice race is very difficult this part for need for speed four
4:11 Albon and Hamilton fighting for 3rd be like
“This guy is such a sore loser!”
best racing experience of all time

The original F1 GTR is in Sport now
BEST CAR EVER!
I love Need For Speed IV ( memories )

Those images look great to be a ps1 game! did you cheat to win?
no cheats all original!!! Best looking driving games for ps1 is driver 1 !
Of course, but this game could be the best need for speed ever!
Is mclaren F1 better than mercedes CLK-GTR?
+Andrey no. they have the same perfomance
+Ronald Moises Lopez Bello I tried both already :) F1 more handle as for me. Or I just can't drive CLK :)

ездок тоже мне "безпелотник"
عادي ابكي
:D
is it pc ?
ps1
how did you recordet it ? camera ?
This Game sucks, only pc version is THE best for this game
I remember the PC version being pretty boring imo, I remember specifically the cars looking god-awful though, they made the cars look like toy hotwheels which did not fit the sim-cade racing vibe that I assume they were going for.
@@Falconhawk3784 kinda agree with that but better graphics anyways, idk just nostaltic
Love the game, but this is the worst Mclaren F1 ever made.
This is actually my favorite version of McLaren 1. lol
@@PetarBladeStrok same here
worst *EVER* made is crazy, back in the day this McLaren was absolutely dominanting racetracks, Other teams had actually began investigating because they thought McLaren was using parts that weren't regulated for the races, but nope, all race-legal power. Not to mention, it looks cool.
