Alright, great, you remember it.

Anyone playing it on Windows2000?

I'm having a hell of a time with this one.

Thanks!
 
That game would constantly crash for me, but I played through it anyway.

I miss those days of that kind of destruction. Now a days the kids are racing in "sims" that don't even contain damage at all. I hope that the new Burnout game changes that.

I used to play Interstate on my P200 with 32megs of ram and my Banshee...Good times had by all. I tried to play the game recently, but it wouldn't work at all. God bless Windows XP ruining gaming nostalgia...thank goodness Windows still crashes so I can relive some of those memories.
 
I sold I76 and the upgrade pack to Half-Price books along with a whole box of software/games about 6 months ago. Fun for it's time.
 
I loved that game, the multiplayer was a blast too. I never did get to see how it ended, the game kept crashing at the same point about half to 3/4 of the way through. I thought it was cool that they mentioned the town that I was living in at the time too. Anyone ever play Interstate 82? I heard that one was a dog.
 
Yeah, that game kicked ass.

I'd love to see a new one - put it on PC and console, and it'd sell like hotcakes.
 
I'76 was one of the best gaming experiences I ever had. Playing with a wheel and pedals was sooooo sweet. Great music, great atmosphere, good mix of arcade/realistic physics, cool weapons, the list goes on. Damn, I feel like playing that again....

I bought I'82 with high hopes, and was sorely dissapointed. The combat in multiplayer was still fun, and there were some great new weapons. Everything else sucked. The single-player campaign was uninspired, and lacking the style of the original. It was lacking style, period. The game was riddled with bugs that were never addressed in any patch. I've still got the CD if anyone wants to buy it, hahahahaha
 
the best part of that game was the music, esp the intro song
funky-bass moves your soul!
 
Since y'all brought it up I just installed the gold edition on XP with no problems. Playing it in normal.

I want more games like I'76 and carmageddon.
 
Yeah, it seems XP is a bit more compatible with it than Windows2000 - Odd, seeing as they are essentially the same setup.

You're using DirectX 9.0c, right, Csims? Do you have an ATi video board, or nVidia, or Matrox (lol) or something? I wonder if it might be something to do with my specific setup.

The only other PC I have to try it on, though, is a 2800+ on an NF7 with a 9600 Pro. :p
(in other words, basically the same PC)
 
Interstate 76' is a fairly older game...perhaps you're thinking of the horrid horrid sequel, interstate 82' (which sucked).

Interstate 76' was one of my favorite pc games, along with carmageddon.

If you all are looking for a new racing'ish type game with a lot of destruction.

I'm pleased to present you, Flatout.

It comes out in europe nov. 5, the US release isn't for 4 months afterwards though , but i plan to import it.

The game looks like some serious fun.
 
That was a great game. I played when I bought my MS Sidewinder FF Pro.

Groovy indeed. Interstate '82 sucks big time, they tried to improve it, no sucess, just like Parasite Eve -> Parasite Eve 2. :)

Nah the computer I installed on has onboard S3 Video and onboard audio. It's my PC I turn on and use when I don't feel like hearing all my fans on my main rig.

I did end up running into a glitch, but I just put it into 95 compatability mode and it fixed it. (It was in Scene 7 where you have to get to the gas station. It kept crapping out everytime I made it there.)

When you get up every day and find something thats been around for 7+ years and you ask "where the hell did those years go?", then you'll realise that yes IT IS OLD and so am I!

Sorry having a senior moment.

I can flip through the channels and see a favorite TV show(Knight Rider came out 22 years ago! It hit me watching an episode on TV Land the other night as part of their Top 10 tv cars list.) or movie and realize how long it's been when it first came out.

It's scary how fast this time has gone by.

Damn kids get off my lawn!

/end rant. :p
 
I' 76 is a classic game with TONS of style. It just oozes Cool. It was the first game I played with a dedicated 3D card... the classic Canopus Pure 3D with 6, yes 6, megs of on board Ram!!! It is also the only game that came close to recreating the classic Steve Jackson board game called Car Wars! I've got to dig that one up and see how she runs.
