Interstate '76

Description

In a dark alternate vision of 1976, the Federal U.S. Government has faltered and the world suffers from the effects of an oil crisis. Armed gangs terrorize the roads of the American South West. You are Groove Champion - when your sister Jade is killed you inherit her custom-build Picard Piranha and become a vigilante, with only revenge on your mind.

Interstate '76 is a vehicular combat game with a 1970s theme which means muscle cars & funky disco music. Hit the road and seek your sister's killer in 17 scripted missions across open-ended trackless areas, or battle creepers in the instant melee mode, against up to 7 other human players. Equip your car with different weapons like machine guns, turrets, grenade launchers and mines. Although the game world is not intended to be realistic, the car handling and collision physics are.

Trivia

To promote the game Activision made what has to be the most extravagant videogame contest ever: Purchasing specially marked boxes of I76 at Electronics Boutique gave you the chance to enter a sweepstakes were you could actually win the official I76 car! (the blue muscle car in the game's cover). 50 3rd prize winners would get the I76 soundtrack, 25 2nd prize winners would get a CGW "prize package" and 25 first prize winners would get a Sidewinder 3D pro joystick, BUT if you found a golden key in your game box, then you could visit the Activision HQ along two other contestants, have dinner with the I76 production team at Hard Rock cafe, visit Universal Studios, etc.,etc and hopefully beat the other two contestants and go home in the I76 car!
