Description: STOCK PHOTOS ONLY Now that Activision will no longer be producing FASA Mechwarrior titles,what will they be doing with all that expensive combat simulator codethey have been developing over the years.The answer is Interstate 76,which is a set of other pilotable vehicles with an armory strapped to them. So off we went to Activisions studios just a few blocks from thebeach in Los Angeles, and the film from this encounter will be broadcastover the show. Scott Krager, Activision Interstate 76's producer, learned production on th set of Cheers and writing for the Bob Newhart series "Bob."Scott has worked on Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and Earthworm Jim.Sean Vesce worked on Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure and MechWarrior 2, which is the engine that Interstate '76 is based upon.Zack Norman, Lead Designer and Writer, worked on MechWarrior 2 and the Ghost Bear's Legacy expansion pack. The plot is simple.You take the role of Groove champion, the autovigilante who is fighting to avenge the death of his sister Jade bythe evil kingpin Antionio Malachio (Nope not Ralf Machio - Ed.).Thisbackdrop of investigating a murder provides the grist for the storywhich involves uncovering clues that lead you further into the plot.Apparently, Malachio, the evil one, is plotting the overthrow of the U.S. Government by the destruction of the largest oil fields in the U.S.in western Texas. In this alternate universe or history, the rest of ht worlds oil hasbeen made unusable by a nuclear holicost in the middle east, and the oilreserves in Mexico and South America do not exist.The only oil to fuelthe cars that everyone in the 70s loves is in good old U.S. in westTexas. Activision calls the main plot a TRIP (Totally Realistic Interactive Project). Drive 25 fully texture-mapped high-resolution muscle cars and truck,even a Semi Tractor Trailer, through the forbidding and beautifullandscape of the southwest.The cars are based upon Chevrolet Camaros,called a Courcheval Cameo in the game, Dodge Road Runner, and other 70s muscle cars.Strap these babies with some of the weapons you becamefamiliar with in the Mechwarrior games and some brand new weapons, likethe cinder-block-dropper, modify the engines, armor, and other aspectsof the car, sorry there are no shields on the version they showed me inour visit, and get out on the road and blow things up. Like the original, objects are not a problem, you can drive over orthrough them.And there will be canyons, deserts, highways, and smalltowns peopled by the innocent and the not so innocent in a war for thesurvival of the world as you know it.All this time 70s style discomusic is playing through your sound system speakers and people are stillwearing bell bottoms.Groovy. There are over 25 missions to drive through as an automercenary.Youcan shoot with handguns from your car, drive off the road and blazetrails, loose tires and parts of the car body, flip over, play dhickenwith a semi, and a large number of other actions.You have a wingperson and mentor, Jades former partner, named Taurus who will help youwith your missions.The game is just like a flight simulator or robotwar simulator (Mechwarrior - Ed.) that the game is based upon. There are over 20 computer generated hand-drawn cut scenes that arecubist based with big bold colors and polygons moving throughout thescenes.No attempt is made to make the polygon animation more life-likein fact the polygons seem to be exaggerated in size and blockyness.Nownormally that blocky feel is bad, but here Activision has show ingenuityin using a basic disadvantage as an advantage in creating artsy andattractive animations with a definite style that is right out of the 70s era. The year is 1976, and the location is the United States during analternate time line where the United States has given into anarchy,something like Mad Max in the 70s.Your mission is to prevent thedestruction of a large oil reserve in the United States by a group ofmercenaries working for a terrorist environmental group, who hate applepie, hot dogs, and baseball, and deserve to die horribly at your hands.What the heck it is a lot of fun out there. For Windows (32-bit Systems) [*Please review compatibility/platform sections] ITEM IS: USED - CD IN SLEEVE WHAT YOU GET: This auction is for the original media, and includes only the media (ie. CD, floppy ...) UNLESS specifically stated above and/or in the title. If more than just the media is included, it will state which items are (ie. box, manual, etc ). Items that come in a sleeve refer to a generic CD sleeve (typically white) and will be sent with shipping protection to avoid damage during transit. If available, we will also send the front and/or back CD inserts if in stock. If these are important to you, please message us to verify we have them available to send. Please do not assume items are included other than what's stated. Again, ask questions PRIOR to purchasing if you have any concerns. IMAGES: All images/pictures are stock photos and are for reference only, mainly to show the type of game you will be getting. Please read "WHAT YOU GET" for what is included with the media. Screenshots may vary based on your own computer system, video card, monitor, etc. COMPATIBILITY: Computers are like people, each one is different. Unlike console games, a computer game may install and work flawlessly on one system but may need adjustments on another. This is due to a variety of factors, mainly the OS platform running, video card you have, drivers, protection software installed, etc. Many times manufacturers release updates to games to fix bugs and add enhancements. We would be happy to help get the game going on your computer, but ultimately compatibility issues are the responsibility of the buyer. We suggest going to Google and searching for the name of the game along with the words "system requirements" to determine if your system is suitable. Ultimately, we are not responsible for software compatibility problems or publisher's errors. PLATFORM: Stated within the auction is what platform the game will work on (ie. Windows, Mac, Linux...) This is a generic statement and specific platform versions (ie. XP, Vista...) will have to be researched by the buyer. Games that came out PRIOR to XP or higher will not specifically state they will work on that release, but only because they came out before those versions were made. Many, if not most, will work on XP or higher with a few quick adjustments. We provide instructions with all items purchased on how to do this adjustment using the Program Compatibility Wizard. If we find out that an item will definately not work on a specific version, we will state it. For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program if the Program Compatibility Wizard does not work. 64-Bit Windows OS Systems: For 64-bit Operating Systems, older games most likely will NOT work due to 64-bit systems not being able to run 16-bit programming code (most games prior to 2000). For DOS games, you may need to play it with a free DOSbox program. Macintosh Systems: For Macintosh programs, most older games will need to be run in Classic Environment if you have a MAC OS X 10.0 - 10.4 version. Please research Google on how to do this, or send us a message for information prior to purchasing. If your MAC OS system doesn't support Classic Environment (ie. MAC OS X 10.5 or Higher OR Intel Macs), you will have to try running it using the free program called SheepShaver, but compatibility is not ensured. Please research prior to purchasing or ask questions. MEDIA FORMAT: Please verify you have the required hardware in order to use the specified media (ie. CD, DVD, floppy drives, etc.) If the item comes as a floppy disc, make sure you have either the needed 3.5" floppy drive or the bigger and older 5.25" floppy drive. SHIPPING: We typically ship all items out within 2-4 business days after payment is received. In regards to the stated shipping and handling, remember that these costs include more than just postage. We combine shipping and handling, with each additional item after the first just $2 more. Message us for an invoice if Ebay doesn't automatically adjust it. International buyers not shipping to an address within the U.S. can expect their orders to take anywhere from 5 days to 4 weeks to be received, depending on how fast/well USPS is moving. Additionally, international orders typically have to go through governmental customs, which can delay the arrival process. Import duties, taxes, and charges are not included in the item price or shipping cost. These charges are the buyer's responsibility. Please check with your country's customs office to determine what these additional costs will be prior to bidding or buying. Customs fees are normally charged by the shipping company or collected when you pick the item up. These fees are not additional shipping charges. RECOMMENDATIONS FOR A SMOOTH PURCHASE: Ask questions PRIOR to purchasing an order to avoid any confusion. Be patient if there are problems during installation or gameplay. Typically someone else has already ran into that problem and has listed a solution online. Contact us and we will do our best to help. Be sure to update your video card drivers and search for updates to the game from the manufacturer. Please message us prior to leaving negative or neutral feedback in order for us to help solve your problem.
