The Need For Speed racing series is a true legend in its genre. The first part of the race came out in 1994, when no one could suspect that it was the brainchild of Electronic Arts that would set the trends in the world of computer racing for a long time. The series has 23 pieces on different platforms, with completely different concepts and themes. Among them are both the very successful and best parts of Need For Speed, and frankly failed games. All races can be divided into several time periods and distinguish among them the most successful and significant for players and the industry. Consider each era of NFS in more detail.
