Need For Speed (NFS) is a series of racing video games developed and published by several studios including Canadian-based EA Black Box. The series debuted with The Need for Speed in North America, Japan, and Europe in 1994. The games consist mainly of racing with various cars on various tracks, and to some extent, includes police pursuits in races. In Japan, the series was originally released under the Over Drivin' name. After the release of Need for Speed: High Stakes, it adopted the western name. Since Need for Speed: Underground, customization was integrated into gameplay.
