The bad news is, though, you're limited to LAN or split-screen play because gaming over a standard modem on the Internet is pretty much unplayable. Hats off to EA for keeping split-screen, because that type of option went out the window with many developers years ago.
But hats remain firmly seated on noggins for not even trying to satisfy the urges of the thousands that want some online multiplayer excitement. Without a LAN, you'll just never be playing more than one opponent at a time unless you and your friends have high-speed Internet connections. It's rather ironic that a game released in Europe - which is famed for not being a hotbed of Internet gaming activity due to extortionate pay-per-minute local phone charges - actually implemented such a fantastically playable Internet racing game a few months ago.
The game was Motorhead , and featured a simple client-server system that allow for 12 players , no less, to compete online lag-free with simple modem connections. If that's possible, then EA have no excuse for shunning the Net community with such lame network code that's not optimized for high latency play.
On the plus side, everything's in place and nicely designed for those who want to play modem-to-modem, over serial connection or on a LAN, with the traditional game lobby and splashing of host features. Need for Speed 3: Hot Pursuit is a professionally produced, rip-roaringly fast, frighteningly realistic, highly customizable, indescribably fun arcade racing game with state-of-the-art visuals and sound, that's enjoyable to play in both solo and multiplayer modes.
For those reasons alone, the game most undeniably deserves our shiny GDR Silver medal. A number of flaws that are not quite so crucial prevent me from going any higher an accolade - the tracks, while gorgeous and diverse to an extent, aren't quite as varied as they seem, and tallying the available tracks as eight when many parts of the maps are reused in two different courses is a little misleading.
Also, the lack of support for stable Internet play over modem for a racing title in this day and age is insulting at best. But, these are quibbles that do take a step back in light of NFS3's much more shining achievements - as arcade racing games go, there's little that can compete with the excellent standards set by this game, and no other title offers the depth that the Hot Pursuit does. So if it's high speed thrills in expensive sports cars that you're looking for, count this as a firm and very positive recommendation.

The game uses a single core so crashing or not starting on single core porcessors won't happen, if you have many cores run this for just one disable the other cores and hyperthreading via the BIOS. Repliroid 1 point. Absolutely invaluable asset to retro gamers. Thanks so much for preparing this archive. Des 1 point. Awesome game, my favourite of the series.
