Possible to Play Need for Speed Most Wanted (2005)?

[minas6907]

Just a thought that occurred to me, would it be possible to play 2005's Need for Speed Most Wanted? I do have the original disks, I believe it came on 5 cd roms, but ever since my original install, I've always just copy and pasted the folder onto later pc's, and made a shortcut on the desktop.

Sorry if it sounds like a dumb question, but is it possible to install/play this title? I think this might be the only title I dont have on steam, and of course, its not on steam to begin with. Just wondering for the future.

running raw EXE games will get easier when Lutris flatpak edition starts working properly on the deck

How's that easier than starting a "raw EXE" from Steam with Proton?

This is the 2012 version of need for speed most wanted, I was asking about the original 2005 version, it was produced on cd rom, and never had a digital release, that's why I've just always dragged the install folder around.

Dunno why you would do it but here so yes it would work with a crack of course since no cd drive ;)

Looks like it's possible but not the easiest thing to get working:
