Interstate '82
             (ACTION)


   Interstate '82 is the long-awaited sequel to the 70s funk fest,
   Interstate '76. This time around, vintage 80s music will blast away on
   your radio while you do battle with more auto vigilantes and villains.
   The plot centers around secret skirmishes against Central American
   governments and presidential assassins. The game's story will take you
   through sewers, mines, shopping malls, Las Vegas, and a secret
   military base (Area 49).

   While gameplay will remain basically the same (ride around in vehicles
   and blow stuff up), it will be enhanced. You can drive motorcycles and
   helicopters and get out of your car and explore some indoor
   environments on foot. There will be environmental effects like rain,
   snow, and fog, as well as more detailed graphics and (we hope) faster
   frame rates. However, Activision is currently saying that I82 will be
   a hardware-only game, so you better upgrade to a 3D accelerator.
   There should be more complex levels (rather than simple open areas),
   and Activision says it will implement in-game saving. We can't wait to
   check this feature out. With its hip art and music and enhanced
   gameplay, Interstate '82 could be Activision's flagship 1998 game.
