NFS Porsche Unleashed & too much free time (pics)

I was playing a little Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed this evening, and had a rather spectacular crash. I thought it was pretty entertaining (mostly because nobody died, and I don't have to pay for the damage) so I saved the replay, as I have done several times before. I was bored, so I went through my saved replays and took some screenshots of some of the good ones.

This is this evening's crash, 72 911S in the Alps. Another car clipped me, and I went into the armco of the left side of the track. It shot me back into traffic, where I swapped ends and across and up the hill on the other side. In this pic, I am still gaining altitude.


Same crash, coming back down.



A similar off track excursion, also in the Alps, but this time in a 935


Getting loose in a 930, in Normandy. Note the traffic ahead, and the smoke coming off the skid marks.



A few seconds later, still not quite under control (but still full throttle), threading the needle


73 RS in Auvergne, with traffic. This doesn't look as close as if felt when I did it. I think I was in 4th gear, so I was hauling butt.


Here are some rather unorthodox passes, first in a C4S

and in a 930

And in a GT1. That is me on the bottom. Notice the car above me lost a headlight whe he hit the wall that sent him skyward:


About to take the lead, also in the Alps. The white car to the right is the leader. He lost it on a corner, skidded across a frozen lake and got good air off the shore.


Pretty fun game, much more fun with a force feedback steering wheel and pedals. Really sucks Electronic Arts stopped hosting the online multiplayer servers.
