(PC) Interstate '76 (1997)

Interstate '76

Interstate '76 is an alternate view of the American southwest in 1976 during the oil crisis of the time, you take the role of Groove Champion as he attempts to get to the bottom of, and avenge, the murder of his sister by a shadowy bad guy. The game's engine is based off Mechwarrior 2, and that's a good thing, but the physics are more tuned towards car mechanics (puns definitely intended). There is an excellent single player story mode to zoom (sorry can't help myself) through and the voice acting is top notch... when you're driving about make sure you hit the 'C' button on your keyboard to hear a little of Taurus' poetry, it's lovely. The action doesn't stop there though as I76 also has robust instant action and multiplayer modes, a probable legacy of it's MW2 ancestor. You can go nuts when customizing your car... you choose the basic model, weapons loadouts, wheels, performance enhancements, the works. The combat itself is fun and the cars each handle somewhat like they should depending on their make so there are lots of tactical options to explore and configurations to tweak. If you fancy yourself an Autoduel fan or you just fancy roadkill then this is your ticket to ride (so sorry). Enjoy with much double happiness please!

Since this is the Interstate '76 Arsenal package, it includes I76 Gold which adds 3D accelerator support (D3D, nothin' exotic) and the I76 Nitro Pack which adds a prequel single player story. No patches needed, just install and play!

Interstate'76

The game is set in the south-western United States of America in an alternative version of the year 1976, during a prolonged oil crisis. The game is based on the engine used for Activision's MechWarrior 2: 31st Century Combat, and requires a fair amount of strategy through the course of the game, as the player must balance the vehicle's armor and weapon load-outs appropriately in order to successfully complete the various missions. In the game's story mode, the player must also manage and repair equipment salvaged from the wrecks of opponents.

There are four play modes available in the game: the "T.R.I.P." (an acronym for "Total Recreational Interactive Production"), which follows the game's protagonists in an episodic story; "Multi Melee", an on-line deathmatch version of the game; "Auto Melee", a deathmatch with computer-driven cars; and "Scenarios", short free-standing adventures featuring the game's protagonists. The primary difference between the scenarios and the T.R.I.P., length of play aside, is that the player has a much broader choice of vehicles in the scenario mode, while the player is limited to only one car during most of the T.R.I.P. mode. The game's vehicles are faithful reproductions of various cars and trucks from the era, both in appearance and driving characteristics, though the names have been changed.

Best game of 1997 hands down. Thanks for the upload. You guys don't seem to have Interstate '82, though. If I can find my CD of it, I may upload it.
