Any tips on installing old NFS games, and what's you favorite one? (sh.itjust.works)

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.

I have the og NFS MW running via bottles. It wouldn't install via isos so I installed it on a spare windows machine from isos and copied the folder over. Took a little fiddling to get the bottles profile into the right state but it is possible :)
