Need for Speed: High Stakes (1999)
Genres:Simulator, Racing
Game modes:Single player, Multiplayer
Story:Just like its predecessors Need for Speed: High Stakes is an action racing game with a wide selection of exotic sports cars and many different types of tracks. The trademark Hot Pursuit mode game mode from the first game in the series is still present, where players race opponents on tracks filled with regular traffic and police cars that chase the racers. The classic pursuit mode is extended with two additional modes: Getaway and Time Trap. In Getaway the player needs to shake off the police in a set amount of time, or playing as the police trap a speeder before time runs out. In Time Trap an entire race needs to be completed before time runs out, or as the police all speeders need to be arrested. There are minor differences between the two platforms for this game mode, regarding spike strips, road blocks, and back-up. The latter for instance is unique to the PlayStation version. The Pursuit mode is available in multiplayer as well and players can take different sides or race together.
It is the first game in the series to introduce a Career mode with a set of challenges. Beating these is rewarded with trophies for unlocks, and money to spend on new cars, repairs and upgrades. In the PlayStation version the Career mode is split up into two different sets of challenges: Tournament (required races) and Special Event (optional races). High Stakes in the title refers to races where players bet their cars. In the PC version these are a part of the Career mode when the player owns more than two cars. In the PlayStation version two players can insert their memory cards and race against each other. The winner immediately receives the opponent's car and it is deleted from the loser's memory card right away.
In addition to the new game modes it is also the first game in the series to have a detailed physics models. Damage now affects both the appearance and the performance of the car for the first time.Show more

It's a crime that what is, in my opinion, the best of the classic Need For Speed games isn't easily available nowadays. This game is basically an expansion of the masterpiece that is Need For Speed III, it's got an amazing handling on cars, good sense of speed, big and varied circuits, and even includes everthing Hot Pursuit had on top of the new content. I've played it to death and I cannot recommend it enough. EA has a pretty abysmal track record of videogame preservation, and the series that I feel needs it the most right now is NFS. I've voted for every NFS game here, but High Stakes is special to me, so I'm leaving this in.
Also these screenshots are from the PS1 version pls fix
My favourite Need For Speed from the classic era. An improvement on Hot Pursuit's formula that also... contains all of the tracks from NFS3. The game is insanely moddable and this functionality should be kept in. Remove the polygon limit and 50 car limit, allow us to add as many tracks we want (lord knows there are a lot of great fan made tracks) and let us go nuts in this absolute classic!
The best Need for Speed game ever made. It's essentially an improved Need for Speed 3 with a more realistic gameplay, containing many if not all tracks from the previous game. Additionally, the best part for me personally, is the career mode, comparable to Gran Turismo with driving many different cups (different car classes), buying and tuning cars (to some degree). Yes, it's a crime this game can't not be bought digitally. While it's playable on modern systems, you have to jump through some hoops and, of course, somehow get the game. This game deserves better. Please GOG, bring it back for modern systems!
Need for Speed: High Stakes was even better than NFS III: Hot Pursuit. This is a must have for any NFS fan. Heck, just bring them back so we can enjoy them once again.

CarnivoresCarnivores is a first person shooting video game produced by Action Forms and released by WizardWorks Software in 1998. It is the first video game in the Carnivores series.
The player takes the role of a DinoHunt customer. At the start of a new game, the player must register a new hunter or continue with a saved hunter. The point of the game is hunting dinosaurs to get trophies and accumulate score. Each dinosaur represents a set number of points. A novice hunter starts with zero points, when his points increase he'll be able to hunt new dinosaurs on additional terrains with more powerful weapons. If the player is killed by a dinosaur, all points accumulated on that specific hunt are forfeited. The player must be picked up by DinoHunt to keep the points he earned.
A hunter will become Advanced after earning 100 points, and Expert with 300. To begin a hunt, the player must choose the location, the weapon, the dinosaur and some hunting accessories which help the player but will deduct the score during that hunt. Each location is unique, with varying difficulties and terrain. The new hunter will be given three areas, with two more added for the Advanced hunter and a final area for the Expert hunter, for a total of six locations. Level locations include jungles, and deserts accompanied by pyramids and an ancient temple.
Next, the player must choose a dinosaur to hunt. A new hunter will be given the choice of four dinosaurs: Parasaurolophus, Stegosaurus, Pachycephalosaurus and Allosaurus. An Advanced hunter gains the ability to hunt the Triceratops and the Velociraptor. Only an Expert hunter can hunt the Tyrannosaurus rex. Harmless creatures such as Moschops, Gallimimus and Dimorphodon are present in each level. They are worth zero points and can be killed with a single shot.
The player must also choose a weapon, which can be set for kill or tranquilize for additional points. A beginning hunter can only use a shotgun or a crossbow. A sniper rifle is unlocked upon becoming an Advanced hunter. First time hunters can use the Observation Mode to familiarize themselves with dinosaur behavior and different terrain.Action Historical Science fiction

Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit 2The Need for Speed series returns, this time reverting back to the 'chase' arcade experience instead of a racing simulation. Top speed racing is the name of the game, where you must outchase not just the opposing drivers, but the cops.

A selection of tracks allows you to not only dodge incoming traffic, but perform deadly jumps and stunts to receive points. These points, combined with the points recieved from your finishing position, can unlock new cars and tracks.
The Hot Pursuit mode combines all the major elements of the competitive mode with the chance to out run the cops. They will throw everything at you to try and stop you, including running you off the road, setting up road blocks and unleashing an attack helicopter equiped with missiles. Three busts by the cops ends the race.Action
