Ashley: found Noble. relatively cheap, comporable in price to a brand new TVR. sounds like a good investment
Niky: haven't got to play any of the 128 style NFS's yet. but FR3? i'd say up with the level of a 64 style. still some coarse polygons, innefectual timing and resolution speed, incomplete minor graphics. good for screwin around with, but not up to 5th gen console level.
the FR series started on PSX/32 bit console. and if it is at the same quality level as NFS II, i wouldn't be suprised.
