I guess the meta is installing them via Lutris\Bottles and then launching them via Steam to have a modern controller support and overlay, is that's so? Does emulation make it better in any way (it seems easier)? What would you use playing them now?

I've watched a couple of vids on games from NFSU to Pro Street forming some kind of a saga, and felt nostalgic enough to once again jump in this cringe pool.

I won't spoil my own opinion on these games besides one point: Pro Street was probably the last one to have a decent, influential OST. Won't lie, they've introduced me to my current favs and made me research their genres further. For that I can excuse EA, or rather BlackBox from crticizing too much, although wanting to play their older games instead of new ones says it all.

Porsche Unleashed! That game taught me how to do real life 180s and 360s and that may favourite car colour is deep green. Great race replays too.

Porsche 2000 was amazing! :D

I loved Porsche unleashed. Played the absolute crap out of it and learned some German words!

I'm no big fan of car games (unlike my brother), but I played tons and tons of Porsche Unleashed. Awesome game for sure.
