Welcome to the year 2001. This guide explains how Need for Speed Web Racing worked for a player back in the day, focusing on the game's rules and systems.
Although you played in a browser (like Internet Explorer), this wasn't a simple Flash game.
- The Engine: When you visited the site for the first time, you installed a special "Game Player" (Plugin). This was actually a full-power NFS racing engine that lived inside your browser window.
- The Result: You got console-quality 3D graphics and physics, unlike anything else on the web at the time.
