Is there a hardware-accelerated version of Interstate76?

Kinda like how Quake1 came out, then hardware-accelerate GLQuake was released? Tomb Raider is another example, was just wondering if there was a decent I-76 patch out somewhere.

Yep, I just went through all this. :) Go here: http://www.activision.com/support/156.asp It's not really clear from the page which patches bring you up to the latest bits, but what I did was install the 1.06 patch for game play related fixes and then the 1.08 patch for D3D support on my voodoo 3 card. Maybe I could have gotten away with just the 1.08 patch, but better safe then sorry. Good Luck!

Do you know what the difference between I76 and I76 Gold is? Andre

Sgt! Is Interstate 76 Nitro the same as I-76 Gold? I got the Nitro pack as part of a compilation with some other games, but the on disc documents are pretty lacking. It does have both d3d and 3dfx graphics options. The activision site doesn't mention the nitro version at all, but has the upgrade files for the gold edition. Should I download those gold files? thanks if anyone can answer this

I think Gold contains the original and the Nitro add-on or so I've been told. Also, Nitro seems to be a stand alone product. hth Tim "Andre Warringa" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

If it's the site the was referenced further up the thread, I think I read that the files were only for owners of the original. I haven't tried 'em out myself yet, though.

Ok then - so if I just have the Nitro pack, I need to get the original I-76 and patch it up to gold, or just buy the Arsenal version? TIA

There is, but it's so old it's very hard to get working on current drivers (even on an old card like my Voodoo2). Joe McGinn _____________________ Radical Entertainment

humm. I'm going from what's posted at the Activision support site. I havne't downloaded and tried ( it's in 5 separate flies and I'm lazy), but will shortly and let you know. However, it looks as if these files upgrade you to GOLD and that, Gold, as the page describes it, seems to include Arsenal and Nitro enhancements. It has to be more than just hardware acceleration because there are additional files *without* the h/ware acceleration feature. heh, clearly this is from way back in the day when we weren't all framerate queens and hardware acceleration was actually an option. ;) anyhow--as follows: http://www.activision.com/downloads/79.asp This is a file that UPGRADES YOUR EXISTING VERSION OF INTERSTATE '76 with all of the I'76 GOLD EDITION enhancements. These are the exact same I'76 Gold Edition enhancements that are included in the Interstate '76 Arsenal and the Interstate '76 Nitro Pack. YOU MUST HAVE THE ORIGINAL INTERSTATE '76 GAME TO USE THIS DOWNLOADABLE FILE. This file is quite large as it contains several new files that include 16-bit art, new horizon maps, difficulty levels, hack prevention and 3D hardware support for all of the original I '76 missions. Please refer to the "Gold Edition" page on this site for a complete listing of the enhancements. There are two versions of the file -- a software version and a 3D hardware version. Both are identical except that the hardware version includes the 3D acceleration enhancement and will take longer to download. A 3D accelerator card is required to use the hardware enhancement, although you can still download the hardware version and run the game in software mode. The 3D hardware version is 85 MB; software version is 70 MB. "Amp" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...

I would go with what AMP is telling you. I'm trying to sort the different versions out myself and may be misinformed. Tim Elhajj "Gault" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:92lbcs$3jt$[email hidden]...

Wouldn't that be the "Nitro Pack" ? -Larry "SGT Robo" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:92k209$gem$[email hidden]... > Kinda like how Quake1 came out, then hardware-accelerate GLQuake was > released?

I've always been confused by this products 'versions'. I got the original, and I got the "Nitro Pack" version bundled with something along the way. I have no idea what the difference is. -Larry "Tim Elhajj" <[email hidden]> wrote in message news:[email hidden]...
