Long life in the fast lane! - Coinslot Review - June 2004

Need For Speed™ is 2004's smash- hit top rated driver from GLOBAL VR, and has been adapted to coin op from Electronic Arts' best selling PC game. Available in link- able (up to 4 player) 39" De Luxe, linkable 29"Cockpits and also now in a 29" Upright version with optional seat, it has proved not only reliable, but extremely profitable during its earlier testing, pushing it to the top of the charts.
This new genre of video is fully and frequently upgrade- able with new features, cars, courses and tracks, and just been released in GT format, which has been retrospectively issued to all early adopters. The ability to refresh the content is a compelling reassurance for the initial investment and will give the operator the ability to attract new players, promote loyalty and give the game a prolonged 'shelf life'.

All games come tournament enabled at no extra cost, and it is hoped that in the future national tournaments with cash prizes may be available to the operator. The market has long awaited new driver games and with the development of graphics, functions, features and the option of driving modern production cars, Cosmic feel that Need For Speed™ is giving the player great value for money.
Terry Farr, CEO at Cosmic Video Amusements, the UK distributor, commented: “Launching at Preview 2004, we re-entered the video market with initial trepidation, but Need For Speed™ has fulfilled all our expectations and more. This really is the modern idiom of video operation! "
