For want of Interstate '76

I miss this game.

I really miss it.

I still have it on CD. The original version. However, time and technology have advanced far beyond what will allow me to play on my current PC without a lot of configuration hassle. Im seriously thinking about building a cheap Win98 SE box to throw this game at and relive.

Interstate 76 was way ahead of it's time. Way before Grand Theft Auto 3 came out, 76 just ruled.

It took place in a fictional southwest with issues of crime, high inflation and energy prices. You were a vigilante, and you had a muscle car as your weapon.

Had a totally bitching soundtrack as well by Bullmark. I still listen to it to this day.

Interstate 76, we miss you.

Activision, if you or any of the original development team read this (hah), a lot of fans would love an updated version of I76. Even if it was the same story but totally updated engine/graphics, we would snatch it up.

Intestate 82 however, is just best left at hardly a mention.

Personally as mr bigglesworth's wife I hate the soundtrack and am "drove" crazy with the funk music blaring in the house.
