Interstate '76: Nitro Pack is a video game for Microsoft Windows. It was developed by Activision and released in 1998.[1] A stand-alone expansion pack and prequel for the original Interstate '76, it didn't require the original game be installed to play. It is known as Interstate '76: Nitro Riders in some territories.
Reception
Nitro Pack received favorable reviews. PC Zone said that the game "thankfully builds on the graphical shortcomings of the original Interstate '76 by adding all sorts of 3D support. Anyone who played the previous release with the Direct3D patch we gave away last issue will know what to expect; if you don't have a 3D card you probably won't notice that much of an improvement, and even if you do there are still some obvious problems: shadows don't hang together too well and mountains continue to spring up from the middle distance. It's annoying, but it doesn't really matter too much because the game oozes style from every pixellated pore. For 20 quid it's perfect throwaway fun that should appeal to anyone with a fond appreciation of Starsky & Hutch."[3]
