Juiced

Juiced is the alternative ricing simulator from the mid 00s. It's mostly better than whatever NFS could shit in those years, but it didn't age as well. The menus and the CGI bits are now feeling really old and cheesy but as far as gameplay goes it's pretty great.

Getting Juiced to run on non-antique Windows OS

Installing the game

Juiced is Abandonware and can be downloaded from MyAbandonware here. There are are couple of different options, both clean and and patched versions. For me both patched versions made the game crash for me, so i used the DVD version. (This version comes with a crack, if you want a completely clean one look for it yourself) Instructions below for the DVD version: Download and unzip the folder Mount the ISO At this point your antivirus is probably chimping out over the hoodlum.exe in the hoodlum folder. You will have to allow it for the installer to run. It's the crack for the game. Install the game with the setup.exe Update the Juiced.exe to version 1.1 [EN%20Fixed%20EXE here] C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Juiced To fix various issues i'll link these PCgamingwiki sections here Widescreen remap controls game doesn't launch on main monitor OpenSpy integration for MP and unlocking everything in the game
