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 here C:\Program Files (x86)\THQ\Juiced
To fix various issues i'll link these PCgamingwiki sections here
