Also known as: Road & Track Presents: Over Drivin' DX (JP) Developer: EA Canada Publisher: Electronic Arts Platform: PlayStation Released in JP: April 19, 1996 Released in US: March 20, 1996 Released in EU: March 20, 1996 This game has hidden development-related text. This game has debugging material.

To do: Is Over Drivin' DX: Rally Edition any different from the original Japanese release? Should Over Drivin': Skyline Memorial be here or on a separate page?

Road & Track Presents: The Need for Speed is a 1994 racing video game first released on the 3DO and then ported to Windows, PlayStation and Sega Saturn. It is the first installment released in the Need for Speed series. The premise of the game involves racing in sport cars, including several exotic models and Japanese imports. Road & Track magazine helped with getting the cars in the game, hence their name in the title.
