One of the game’s main attractions was the ability to explore any city created in SimCity 2000 by car in a cinematic style. The game, like SimCopter, is in full 3D and the player’s vehicle can be controlled using a keyboard, a joystick, or a gamepad. Another notable feature is the game’s network mode, in which players can play deathmatches with up to seven other individuals.

Interstate ’82 is a vehicular combat video game developed and published by Activision for Microsoft Windows in November 1999.
The game is set in the Southwestern United States in an alternate version of the year 1982, during the Reagan Administration. The game is less complex than its predecessor, Interstate ’76, lacking the detailed armor and weapon management of the original. Its play-style is closer to console-based vehicular combat games like Twisted Metal, with a single health bar displaying both armor and chassis strength, as opposed to ’76’s armor/chassis strength system. The vehicle models have been updated to reflect the change in era, and overall, the game has a new wave feel, with several hitherto-unreleased Devo songs being on the soundtrack, as opposed to the first game’s funk-inspired style.
Interstate ’82 features a story-mode like its predecessor, with one new option: the player can exit one vehicle and enter another, adding some strategy to the game’s storyline. Another new addition is the ability to skin the new vehicle models. …
Road Wars is a futuristic racing game produced by InterActive Vision studio. Players race in armored and well-armed cars on 12 themed routes.
This is a cutting-edge vehicular combat racing game set in the not-so-distant future. The game thrusts you into the role of a Road Warrior. While racing for fame and fortune, you compete over 12 different Road War Association (RWA) sanctioned racetracks. Winning races results in increased notoriety and funds with which to upgrade and customize your vehicle. Various weapons and armor may be purchased, as well as better wheels, engines and a wide range of special add-ons.
Road Wars is different from other games of this genre due to a number of reasons: in this game, you choose to play one of twelve characters. Each character drives his or her own unique car. Not only do the cars have different characteristics, but the characters do as well. Certain characters will receive special treatment in the game. One such character is a mechanic who receives discounts when repairing and buying items in the garage. Others hold grudges and will be out to get you if you mess with them during a race. This also enables the game AI to give the characters strong personalities with which to put some original aspects into the game. …
Every year, a mysterious man named Calypso sends e-mails to renowned drivers, inviting them to compete in a tournament called Twisted Metal. The conditions of the tournament are anything but ordinary: opponents fight each other in armored vehicles with mounted weapons. The winner receives an audience with Calypso, and is granted a single wish – a wish without limits, be it money, power, or even our reality itself. In 2005, the annual tournament is held again in Los Angeles, and twelve drivers, each with his own agenda, have come to compete to death.
Twisted Metal is a vehicular combat game. The player selects one of the twelve available drivers and takes part in the competition. In the one-player story mode, the player must progress through six combat stages; all the opponents must be destroyed in order to win the race.
