Interstate '76 was a really interesting 3D vehicular combat game that hit the PC market when that genre was already really hot, but the post oil crisis setting, late '70s timeframe, and incredible band-recorded funk soundtrack really set it apart. If you haven't given it a try, hunt it down and put some rockets on your hood!

Activision reached out to Arion Salazar (who would later become the bass player of Third Eye Blind) to put together a jam band and create the music behind the game. The band called themselves "Bullmark" and included Tom Coster on keys (from Santana's band) and Bryan Mantia (from Primus and Guns 'n' Roses) as their drummer. Spearhead member David Shul played guitar, Les Harris played brass instruments, and there were several other session musicians involved. Aside from the music that was cut up and placed into the game, they also released a full album of the uncut songs with a few extras.

Interstate '76 saw great reviews, but it was not a huge release, selling under 75,000 copies the year it came out.
