Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit [PC] - Alpha Preview Demo (Alpha/Pre-Beta Version)

Need For Speed III: Hot Pursuit - Alpha Preview Demo.

Demo Description: You are one of two hot rodding Lamborghini Countach's. Try to beat you're rival to the finish line--but watch out for the cops! (If only you could stop to enjoy the crisp mountain air on Rocky Pass, one of NFS III's advanced tracks.)

Differences of this version to the final version of the game:

- The loading screen is different, more similar to the PS1 version.
- The beginning flyby and the pause camera are from NFS 2.
- The countdown announcer is from NFS 2/3 of the PS1 version.
- The music "mood" seems different.
- The car handling is very different from the final version, is more hard to make some turns and control the car.
- The Lamborghini engine sound sounds lower pitched, much like the PS1 version.
- The pause menu is very different from the final version.
- The game has a cruise button that, when activated, maintains the speed of the car (would probably be used to avoid the cops).
- The cops are much more aggressive in this version.
- Only one cop talk to central.
- The cops here say "in pursuit a Lamborghini", but in the final version they say "in pursuit a (color) Countach".
- The cops talk to you like the PS1 version (this is present in the final version, but is a cheat)
- The Lamborghini Diablo Cop Car chases you in this version, in the final version it is a playable car, but it never chase you.
- When you're arrested, the voice and skin from police officer is different.
- All the cop cars and spike strip are visible in the minimap.
- This version not have the meter that shows when you are getting closer from a cop car (sorry, i don't remember the name of this meter).
- The digital RPM meter not turn red when the RPM reaches the limit.
- When you press the handbrake button, the brake lights turn on.
- The cockpit view is not present in this version, but I don’t know if it didn't exist yet or it’s just blocked.
- The HUD has some differences, the rear view mirror is smaller, the list of opponents is in a different position and the minimap also has different borders (i forgot to turn on the opponents list in the full gameplay, but is turned on in the bonus clips if you have interest in see).

The readme.txt and the game's initial screen say "Sneak Preview Demo: Pre-Beta Version", but the .exe says "Need For Speed III For Win32 Alpha Preview"

100% of the game files are original (no patchs, mods, etc...) I only put a "dsound.dll" in the game directory because playing this on a modern PC without it is like playing with a blown speaker or an old TV without signal/static noise, but if you just put the "dsound.dll" in the game directory this magically fix the sound, but unfortunately creates a delay of 0.5 to 1 second in the sound (but is better than play without listen anything). NOTE: The "dsound.dll" only fix the sound in modern PCs, it doesn't change anything in the game files.

Played on Windows 10 x64 (after two days of pain to make the game run on a x64 PC)
