Title: Any arcade game similar to 'Need for Speed Underground'?
Post by: mickael28 on September 09, 2017, 02:32:17 pm

Hi guys,

I just found out yesterday that 'Need for Speed Underground' had been dumped and was playable and I've been having a blast today. A couple of doubts:

1- Do you know if 'Need for Speed Carbon Arcade version' has been dumped as well?
2- Do you know any other similar titles to NFS Underground? I know Daytona, Scud Race, Sega Rally, Outrun... that's about it.

Thanks.

I've never played Need for Speed Underground, but I've seen people mention in the YouTube comments to an old video of mine that it's similar to Faster than Speed  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZlJwA2MQzDw)- an obscure Sammy game that ran on the Atomiswave board (based on Sega's NAOMI system board). It's a fun but unremarkable arcade racer. You play it using DEMUL.

Faster than Speed is pretty terrible, Maximum Speed was *MUCH* better but was circuit racing, not street racing.

Fast and Furious (Raw Thrills) is also a fun arcade street racer
