Excellent video. This is one of my all time favorite games. Wish they would of made more of them. I82 was not near as good. Guess I'll just have to settle for the new Twisted Metal for the PS3 when it comes out.
Fail but hilarious ending! I can't count how many hours I put into this game back in the day, my favorite mission was always the school bus mission where you had to provided protection along the route from creeper attacks. I seriously hope Activision put in a serious effort in remaking this game someday, until then I still have my nitro pack discs to enjoy :)
love this game man, played it lots when i was young (think i only had the demo?)
well i got curious, downloaded it and the game looks and runs like crap, much worse than yours, tried many things but no luck :( thanks for putting up this video
fyi ... no, it's not 3d mode .. but it was enough of a victory to get it running and playable on a phenom II 940 with a 285 gtx. 3d mode failed consistently .. but then I didn't want to build another system just for the older games. Beginning to reconsider though.
@Adarious Good Call. I am currently half way through 2 builds - An Athlon T-Bird 1GHz with a Geforce 2 Ultra and 256MB ram - and an AMD K6-3 450MHz with 128MB and a pair of Voodoo 2's. If you have the space and the time it's good fun to buy an old PC for cheap off EBAY and pimp it out with the latest and greatest hardware to the era for just a few quid.
Get a windows 95-98 machine and DOSBOX can handle the older stuff just fine.
@Adarious there's a reworked version from GOG.com for like 6 bucks that comes as a ~600mb downloadable installer. That alone will get you as far as shown in the video here. But if then you go onto the GOG forums, there's a special launcher that via a CPU grabber and via quitting explorer.exe during gameplay will correct most of the functionality issues--you'll be able to make the jump and your engine power will be back.
@Adarious graphics issues will still crop up, but each time whenever they do, just hit escape to bring up the menu and then get out of it and they'll go away. I also find that it'll work for a good while, but on my machine itll eventually lose its effectiveness (i.e. wobbly wheels come back again), but if i just restart my machine then it starts doing the trick again.
@Adarious oh! one more thing. like i said, the launcher add-on will quit explorer.exe while it's running, but when you exit the game and then exit the launcher, it runs a command prompt automatically to restart explorer.exe and all is returned to normal.
You know, the saddest thing about this game is the Craptivision branded multiplayer which hasn't worked properly in well over a decade. If lan and tcp/ip multiplayer options were there or added for legacy support now ... the multiplayer absolutely kicked ass. The 4 leaf clover was one of the good maps .. the jump at the top of the large hill was always fun.
This vid is recorded when the game is running without 3d acceleration. I remember when i was playing it in 1998 graphics looked way better than this. But game is truly classical. I thought to build PC from some old parts to play vintage games like this to have sure they are 100% compatible. Thanks for vid BTW !!!
My favorite thing to do in this game was find ways to climb cliffs and drive off the other side of the plateau. The physics engine was so much fun to mess with. xD
@Adarious Do you know how to run it on windows 7 properly? When ever i press the esc button it shows a mouse blinking and the sky gets a bit wierd, changes some colours , when i alt and tab and try and come back it turns black.
@Adarious If you lose Explorer, Or if explorer crash's for any reason. You can start it back up by going to Task Manager (Control+Alt+Delete) And then you click on the Application's Tab, Then you select "New Task". Then you just type in the word "Explorer" or you can click Browse and go to your Windows Directory and select "explorer.exe".
That will start your taskbar and desktop icon's and everything else back up. That way you don't have to re-boot.
@Adarious it reminds me of my high school time! i was so into this game~>.< funny back then i hadn't learned english so basically i didn't know what was going on. i just shot every car i saw including the white one on mission 1. oh, i ran into that lamp pole, too!
This game was brilliant. I don't know why they've never learned from it. There's probably never been as good of an in car view save, NFS 5: Porsche Unleashed.
The damage was brilliant as well. Instead of some silly hp bar you actually took damage in specific places which effected your driving.
Not to mention the fact that the cars had guns! And, they were awesome car choices, including a school bus.
If the graphics were up to date this game would be the best.
yeah.. if activision will remake this game by just developing the graphics, it will surely rock, i played this game and its predecesor i82, by maintaining the physic and developing the graphics, man ,,,, it will rule the world!!!
wish i know... or buy it too, but where, where. Demo can still be downloaded from somewhere on net. But where this game go - i had it, but lost cds years ago.
LOL my mission ended just like this one a few times! all that way just to come up short! was cool the second or third time replaying the mission, but after that I was rdy to move on LOL. most of the time I was going way to fast and landed on the roof:)
you have to do some funky stuff to deal with like changing the language for non unicode programs to english uk, then install now you have to turn the sound acceleration off or else it freezes on the main screen.
Amen to that. I'm taking game design at the art institute. My goal is to make an I76 game like it should be made, w/locational dmg, no autoreverse, realistic physics and character(car) buildup that dwarfs I76. Skill trees anyone? :)
If your computer is too fast to play this game try googling this:
The NEW PC Slow Down Page!
And click on the first search result. There you can find a few nice programs for slowing down cpu for old games. Unfortunately I'76 is somewhat glitchy under too high fps.
I tried the DX version and as soon as I clicked directx it crashed windows explorer. For those that don't know the result of that, you lose taskbar and systray..it's a guaranteed need to reboot.
@Adarious no all you do is open task manager (ctrl + shift + esc) then click File, then New task, then type explorer.exe OR explorer and it should come back
@Adarious If you lose Explorer, Or if explorer crash's for any reason. You can start it back up by going to Task Manager (Control+Alt+Delete) And then you click on the Application's Tab, Then you select "New Task". Then you just type in the word "Explorer" or you can click Browse and go to your Windows Directory and select "explorer.exe".
That will start your taskbar and desktop icon's and everything else back up. That way you don't have to re-boot.
Would be nice but I'm not holding my breath. I'd be happy if someone redid the multiplayer to support the most common methods rather than just the actiservers as it is.
Meanwhile you should check out interstateoutlaws ...they are i76 fans trying to dev an i76 type game, and it appears they are still looking for more ppl to help with it. It looks promising so far. This is try 3 to post..guessing it doesn't like a url in a reply. Outlaws has a tube vid too.
I remember having to upgrade to play this properly. I think I went from a Cyrix 386 to a p200mmx with a matrox video card :) haha oh man the memories.
damm i remember the mission where u need the radarMG for destroying the helicopters...damm i missed to take it and had no possibility to go back..anyway one of the best games!!!..Ps:FUCK I'82

I can hear you applying the Nitrous boost, but you're applying it too early. Apply it when you are crashing through the construction barriers.
Great game. Played in all modes: Software, Direct3D, 3Dfx and PowerVR.
3Dfx mode being the best, PowerVR being the worst (too many errors due to insufficient texture memory on the PCX2 card).
