N.I.C.E. 2

keeps crashing like there's no tomorrow. I can't believe so many defend this port and why for many it works and I have been trying all kinds of fixes to no success...it will run for like a minute until you touch an AI and it's gg crash2desktop

Crashes frequently :(

tl;dr: Needs additional software. After that still buggy. Got this for 2 bucks in a sale, had some nostalgic fun, but still disappointing that it doesn't work properly.

The championship races are fine, but more than half the fun back then, when I played it in my teens, were the death matches. But in this version here you can equip your car all you like, most of the time you will start with some random assemblage of no good stuff, and the equipment you get is sometimes already empty at the start of the race. Also, your opponents in the deathmatches don't have to drive the full circuit: If you get off the track, they will magically appear some distance before or behind you, and in the latter case you're dead.

Approached today, it functions as a time capsule of PC racing design, capturing a period when developers were eager to combine arcade immediacy with just enough tuning depth to keep players invested beyond simple pick-up-and-play thrills. One of the most striking aspects of N.I.C.E. 2 is the sheer breadth of its content. The game offers a surprisingly large roster of vehicles spanning multiple classes, from sleek sports cars to unconventional options that lean into exaggerated arcade sensibilities. Each category feels intentionally distinct, not just visually but also in how it handles on the road, encouraging players to experiment rather than settle into a single favorite. This sense of variety extends to the track selection, which co…
