I just picked up Need for Speed last night. This is a great arcade game.
Lots of fun for modem play.
The only thing I don't like is it requires the CD to play. I don't like
to have to use the CDs to play games. The kids tend to be too rough on
them.
Does anyone know how to play the game without having to put the CD in?

it, checking ALL the boxes (installing every component) BUT
turning OFF the VIDEO (so it doesn't look for CD when you first
load it), this may work. I don't have enough room on my HD to
try this but it may work...

If you turn off the video on installation, you can install the whole
thing on about 150 megs of space. To get it to run, however, you have
to edit the paths.dat file with a hex editor. You basically have to go
in this file and change the references from your CD to the location of
the particular files on your HD.
My CD was getting unreadable due to some scratches etc, the videos get a
bit old after a while, anyhow.
