The Unlicensed 1997 Need For Speed Addon: We All Need Extra Speed (Patreon)

Had a good number of requests to cover this after the most recent donations unboxing, so here we go! Thanks again to David for sending this rarity my way.

Extra Speed, to my knowledge, is the only unauthorized add-on pack to The Need For Speed for MS-DOS PCs. So in this video we're taking a look at the contents, including custom tracks, modding applications, a PCX photo collection, and shareware racing games. Also tried my hand at quickly making my own custom track for the game, with um, amusing results.

Yeah, when I first heard about this pack several years ago I was surprised to say the least. The modding scene for the original TNFS was never too significant, so seeing a collection of 500 tracks -- much less 500 tracks sold at retail in a big box package like this -- is downright surreal. If nothing else it's neat to have an archive of so much custom content that was only available on fansites in the mid-90s.

Anyway, hope you enjoy the video! Nothing too in-depth here but I thought it'd be fun to document this weirdness in LGR video form.
