I’m not sure why they wouldn’t be working for you. Everything seems fine when I check it.
I’m sorry, I wrote that on my phone when I was really tired. It’s the Bullmark demo links that are messed up. Track 3 links to this:
http://www.localditch.com/interstate-76/music/bullmark/Bullmark-Track-3(missing extension)
and track 14 links to this:
… which is actually track 22.
No worries; thanks for finding my mistakes! I’ve got the link to Track 3 fixed, but I don’t have the file for “Ma… Something like this.”
I LOVE your site, being a fan of old games like Interstate ’76 and Deus Ex.
My question is about I ’76: When you turn on the weapon cam of a turreted weapon (key W), all you can see is a crosshair on green. Is there a “thingie” to actually see your target through this camera? Or at least enhance the color balance to get a silhouette of darker green of the car you’re shooting at?
I tried various combinations of colors and screen settings: no luck yet…
Glad you like the site! As far as I know, the weapons view in the radar is a bit of a hangover from the Mechwarrior 2 engine. My guess is that the Mech2 engine had that functionality and the I ’76 developers decided to throw it into the HUD.
If you want a “true” weapon view, you can press the F11 key, but to my knowledge, there’s no way to un-green the radar weapons view.
You state that the only server is on battlezone1.net This is not true, the anet server has been in operation continuously since 2002.
911 servers owned and operated by Eddy Wright (Wright Hobbies LLC) since 2002 for all your Activision Activenet games
The servers.dat is available on the forum, http://battlezoneclub.org
Great to hear that there are still a few more anet servers out there. I think at one point in time I used to have a link to the bz911 servers, but removed it when the .com site went down. It looks like the site has moved over to a .net address since I’ve been following it.
In Interstate ’76, the server connections work a bit differently than in BZ and some of the other Activision games. There is no servers.dat file. Instead, users have to manually input the server address. Just to verify, is 911.alink.bz911.net the correct address? I’ve updated the site to reflect that, but would like to confirm that it is indeed correct.
You clould remake again a Interstate’82 Page since its no more dead. !

we have a game patch that works and we still play online ! 😀 haha
have a good day !
just want to begin my question with saying thanks to you for having this site set up, its great for the small i76-community, its a special place for small numbe of people out there who like the groove.
Q: im playing on GOG-version of interstate 76 and everythings nice except that the framerate is too high so i wont be able to make the jump in the end of mission 5, even with nitro. any clues on fixing this? can tell you im really not the only one with this problem… basically everyone who buys the gog-version has it.
thank you,
speed is your limit!
Thanks for compliments. This has been a problem plaguing all versions of I ’76 on modern systems. Good news: I do have a fix, at least for NVIDIA cards. Within the NVIDIA drivers, it’s possible to set up a custom game profile and define a max FPS limit. To do so, you’ll need to track down and use a piece of software called the NVIDIA Inspector, which will allow you to set some options that the drivers allow, but do not display.
As expected, there’s been a few parts of the site that broke with the new look, most notably every page that linked to the home page. Nothing spells fun like breaking links on hundreds and hundreds of pages. Good news: that should be fixed.
More good news: the Q&A has been updated. I know, I know… sending a message to me is like a game of roulette: there’s no guarantee what’ll happen. Will your question be answered in the next few days? Months? Years? If you sent a message recently, it’s answered. If you sent one back in February, I apologize for the horrible response time, but it’s answered, too.
Activision’s I ’76 Wallpaper has been added to the site, thanks to a generous visitor.
The Deus Ex page has been updated with a new look and more info. Really, more than anything else, it’s just a ramble about my experiences with the game, plus all of the old info.
The “Features” section is going to be very similar to this – more of a review/retrospective on a particular game rather than a ton of stats, files, cheats, etc.
Lastly, the search box is up and working well. Prior to this, it was working (mostly) from the news page, but not too well anywhere else.
