Man, Infogrames should use their Atari license and release a new version of Roadblasters, with actual circuits/cities to drive around in and multiplayer support. That was one of my favorite racers in the 80's, and it would be incredible fun on an enclosed circuit with other people. Jason

Interstate 76. The best. I'm serious. Cool cars, cool soundtrack, cool style, cool everything :) The others ones listed in this thread can't beat it (with the Nitro pack, but NOT Interstate 82 or whatever the poor sequel was called eh). Carmageddon is too puerile. -- -- Fran�ois M�nard <ymenard> -- http://ymenard.cjb.net/ -- This announcement is brought to you by the Shimago-Dominguez Corporation - helping America into the New World...

Carmageddon is too puerile. Definitely I'76. Excellent game, great fun online too. Carmageddon2 was pretty good imo, but I never tried it online. Malc.
Ahhhh. I76 was the REASON i bought a PC..Saw the ad for it in a computer magazine and started clawing at the page. Oh those late, late night CTF sesions and lotsa beer. The EXCUSE to keep upgrading came from the Nas series and GPL a year later... Guess thats why i never get sick of watching Mad Max/ The Road Warrior. There's a little Auto-Vigilante in all of us :)

Interstate '76 would really fit the bill. Probably hard to find, and the graphics are pretty dated. Still the closest to what you asked for on the PC. And the single player storyline was great, too. Interstate '82 was supposedly much worse than the original, sadly. Kendt

Interstate 76 is on re-release at about �2.99 in HMV in the UK at the moment. It's alright when upgraded with the D3D patch, or a better bet is the first sequel, "NitroRiders". bit laggy over the internet, but should be spot on for LAN (might be IPX only though, I'm not sure on that) cheers John

OK, I have the original Interstate '76, but had to deinstall it some time ago due to severe lack of disk space. Now I'm considering (finally!) getting a new HD, so I can reinstall it (and some other games too, of course). What would you suggest, that I just install the patch for I76, or should I go and buy the I76 Arsenal (I've seen it on sale for $5 at a local store)? I mean, are the additional missions the thing, or just the 3D patch? -- __________ ____---____ Marco Antonio Checa Funcke \_________D /-/---_----' Santiago de Surco, Lima, Peru _H__/_/ http://machf.tripod.com '-_____|( remove the "no_me_j." and "sons.of." parts before replying
Get Interstate '76 (like everyone else said :) I just included a link to get it for under $5 http://www.dragon.ca/games/driving/i76nitropack.htm Vedran Parac wrote:

There will soon be a new version of Twisted Metal Black for the PS2 that will work with the new ethernet adapter, if you can get your hands on it (the adapter that is)...
It's a couple years old, but BreakNeck sounds like the ticket. Gamespot has some screenshots: http://gamespot.com/gamespot/stories/reviews/0,10867,2592707,00.html .
