Does anyone know how a person can buy a copy of Interstate 76 or a
nitro pak or something like that they made a few years back that had
the original 76 and some more? Or perhaps you have one you would like
to sell? I read that you find them in bargain bins now but I have had
no luck finding one.
Thanks
Brad

I have a copy of it I can sell you if you really want it. Mine has been sat
on the shelf for some 3 years doing nothing.

There's a pile of them on EBay, typically about $6.00. The one you're looking for is
"Interstate 76 Arsenal", which included Interstate 76 Gold Edition (the "Gold" basically
meant added 3D support) plus Nitro Pack for Interstate 76 - added missions & stuff. Check
http://www.activision.com/games/arsenal/main.html for more details.
It's worth chasing down. A lot of fun, even the game installer was well done - it had a
faux radio report that helped establish the back story, followed by funky tunes.

Andre are you running XP if so did you try the compatibility program?

www.i82.co.uk
has a current pricelist and the sites found for all the interstate games on
the main news page.
www.interstate76.com
The messageboards are full of helpful vigilantes who can tell you which
server you'll need to play online, the original servers having been
switched off.
They also have 632 (six hundred and thirty two) interstate maps (resources,
maps) for multiplayer games for all three games; i76, nitro and i82.
The downloads section holds all the patches etc you need to get i76 running
right. Nobody's got it working on XP properly though.
Don't ever install the gold upgrade for i76, it renders it incompatible
with standard i76 and nobody uses it.
You need patch 1.081 I think for D3D on original interstate 76. Nitro
works out of the box with D3D and glide.

A big shame since I LOVED Interstate.. the music, the atmosphere..
Groovy man :)
PS The people who made Interstate '82 deserve to spend the rest of
their lives in a Turkish prison! What the hell were they thinking!!!

I assume it's the original edition, it came bundled with an old Velocity 128
graphics card and I never really liked it.... the computer I had wasn't very
good at the time, and neither was the graphics card I bought. The game comes
on 2 discs though, so it may have the addons.
Not running XP, I have a copy here I got from work, but I'm very happy with
the stability of W2K at present... Plus I have a Voodoo5, and there are
still issues getting games to run with a V5 and XP... I've talked with
people who have to swap drivers for different games, If I wanted to do that
I'd get a card from nVidia. :o)

I tried 2 different cd-rom drives but on both drives I get the same
error.
Any idea?

Right, installation went ok, I start the game, choose play, choose D3D
mode and click on play.
'This program has performed an illegal operation' and it's back to
desktop.
Same result when I try to run it in software or in window mode.
Any.. idea?
Andre
