Is there any way to play this game in Windows 8.1 x64 without nGlide?
I don't exactly see the issue with nGlide or dgVoodoo 2.

Yes, but there's no reason to.
You really need to specify why not nGlide so we can suggest solutions without the problems you're encountering with nGlide. Do you need to play the software version? Don't you have a D3D9 capable GPU? Or do you have a system too slow otherwise for nGlide?
Maybe he just wants to play the software rendered version.
Software mode offers in-car cockpit view, which the Glide version does not.
Have you tried using the Direct3D wrapper from dgVoodoo2?

Windows, Mac & Linux runs fine without the hassles
Also nfs2 doesnt support glide only the special edition does

If the problem is garbled colours, DirectDraw Compatibility Tool is what you need.
This game work perfectly with nGlide in Windows XP SP2 in VMware Workstation. Software works too.
I had a hell of a time to get NFS2SE to run properly on my dual-core, WinXP Pro, SP3 system.
The game ran, but as soon as I got close to other cars on the track, it want into slow-motion. It didn't matter whether I used the Glide or software version, or what glide wrapper I used. After much Googling, I found some settings for the Application Compatibility Toolkit that fixed the Glide version, but the software version still ran like crap. After a lot more Googling and a lot of trial and error, I finally managed to get the software version working as well. It's been a while, but I THINK these are the settings that I used;
EmulateCDFS
EmulateGetDiskFreeSpace
GlobalMemoryStatusLie
IgnoreException
MapMemoryB0000
SingleProcAffinity
yeah, had to run it in VMWare, with application compatibility toolkit with the patches above applied, also directsound acceleration disabled in dxdiag, and I think I used dgvoodoo2 as well for the glide version as the software version was broken as fuck... This game really hates modern PCs, you might be best off building a win98 retro PC for games like this.
Software Mode works with dgVoodoo in Windows 10 x64 without problems. I install game with Need for Speed 2 Installer x64. 3dfx works with nGlide. Now i don't need any Emulator or old computer for this game. Best Need for Speed game.
