"Interstate 76" was a really fun PC game that came out around 1997 and was one of my personal fav. However, it didn't the attention that it deserved but really was an awesome game. I still think it is.

"I-76" did have a spin-off called "Interstate 82". It was a good game but it didn't have the same feel as the first game. Those of you who played the "Duse EX" games might relate.

The reason why I bring this up is because I've been playing the PC version of "GTA: SanAndreas" and it got me thinking. "I-76" was the GTA (if you will) of that time but with a twist.

"I-76" is a game where you play the role of Groove. He was a racecar driver who discovered that his sister was a vigilante and was killed by a mobster out to control the gas comity by destroying gas companies in the Southwest and you were there to stop him and avenge your sister.

The game was a car simulator but you had gun turrets on your car and you drove around shooting the bad guys while completing your mission objectives. Kinda like a PC space sim but with a car instead of a star fighter. You weren't able to get out of the car, though. Activision even allowed a recurring joke in the game which was "Never get out of your car." .. lol..

You can find this game and "I-82" in the budget section at some gamming stores at a really good price. It's worth it. Great game.

Dave-Tron and I talked about this game a few years ago. Thought it would be cool to set up a server and play it online.

What I thought would be cool is if Activision made another I-76 game but using a tweaked GTA engine and condition the game to feel like the old I-76.

I dream way too much... lol

For those of you who played this game, what are your thoughts???

I've got both I-76 Arsenal (which includes I-76 Gold and the Nitro Pack) and I-82.

I liked I-76 so much I ordered the soundtrack CD from Activision. I still listen to it driving to and from work sometimes.

I have a graphics problem with I-76 in DirectX mode on my GeForce 3 that I didn't have on my old TNT2, but I'll play in software mode if I have to.

I'll play online if you set up a server. Maybe DaveTRON will dust off his copy and join the action!abortion pills online abortion pill online purchase cytotec abortion

That would be fun, guys. The only bad thing is that I'm still stuck with dial-up. But when I played it online years ago I didn't really have any lagging problems. Perhaps some day we should give it a try. It will get fun.

And yes... The sound-track rocks. I too still listen to it. It's a really good example that Funk isn't Disco, but a really good styal of jazzed Rock. I love the sound track. I-82's sound track was good too, but it didn't compare to I-76.

I haven't played it in a long time. I'll have to install it and see if it will run on this computer.

OK, I have it installed and it works. Not perfectly, but I can play it.

It installed easily on WinXP SP2. I've currently got a GeForce 3 with the latest drivers from Nvidia, and I can run I-76 accelerated or in software mode.

The biggest problem is that the most text (roadside signs, the speedo and tach) in accelerated mode is unreadable. The text on the other readouts (ammo count, etc.) is readable and only a little smudged.

If I run in software mode the text is a lot more readable, and I can run at 1024x768 instead of the max of 640x480 in accelerated mode.

DaveTRON or Qix77, if either of you guys has a way to fix the text, I'd really appreciate it.

Gun turrets would be great, but I think right now Blox Droppers would give me more satisfaction by teaching dumbasses not to tailgate.

She's a girl, what do you expect?

DaveTRON Wrote:If it matters to anyone here, I am selling an original I-76 promo folder and the flyer for the un-produced I-77 game. Check out my Ebay auctions from the front page if you are interested.

Yeah... I remember you sent me a pic of the I-77 poster. I would love to get it but I'm pressed for money at the moment.

Here is a little somthing I have to express, even though I don't think it's every going to happen (cause the information came from a friend from a friend)

Word has it that someone is trying to mod the PC version of GTA-SanAnderas into an I-76 total conversion.

It's just a rummor... so take it for what it's worth... which is most likely bull.order abortion pill http://unclejohnsprojects.com/template/default.aspx?morning-after-pill-price where to buy abortion pill

Sorry dude. I can send ya scans if that helps.

dctron Wrote:I'll have to install my copy also. I haven't played in years, but if it will install, it will be fun. I really enjoyed the single player missions. I also have all the expansion paks.

All I have is plain old I-76. I wished I had some expansion packs... .... I suck....

MutoidMan Wrote:Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks DaveTRON. Would you scan the back of the I-77 flyer as well?

I have huge scans of both sides, so no problem.
