Questions
How do I play Need for Speed III Demo in my browser?
Open the Need for Speed III Demo page and click Launch. The program's files are fetched from this site and run inside the tab as WebAssembly; nothing is installed and nothing is uploaded.
What are the controls for Need for Speed III Demo?
Need for Speed III Demo is played with the mouse and the same keyboard shortcuts as the original Windows 98 program; its menus list them.
Does Need for Speed III Demo work on a phone?
Yes. On a phone the desktop scales to the screen and Need for Speed III Demo gets on-screen controls for the keys it needs, plus a keyboard button for anything else.
Are my scores and settings saved?
Whatever Need for Speed III Demo writes to the Windows registry or to its INI file is kept in this browser's local storage, so it is there next time on the same device and browser. Clearing site data removes it.
Does Need for Speed III Demo have sound here?
Yes. Sound the program plays through the Windows wave and DirectSound APIs is routed to the browser's Web Audio. Browsers only allow audio after a click or a key press, so it starts with your first input.
Is this the real Need for Speed III Demo or a remake?
It is the original 32-bit Windows (PE) executable (nfs3demo.exe), run instruction by instruction by an x86 interpreter written in WebAssembly Text. The emulator provides the Windows API underneath it, not a rewrite of the program.
