Seems to work with Win7
It is one of my favorite games of all times! The story keeps you going and each mission of the storyline is different. The style of the entire game is great! Even for that time the vector-style of the characters had some kind of retro-look, which added to the overall "blast from the past" feel of the game (even the box-art, the manual, the music ... it all fits together well, and is one of the reasons why I still can enjoy the old graphics of the game). The GOG version includes "Nitro Riders" which was a standalone game, but content-wise was more like an expansion-pack. It gives adds some new cars, melee-maps and several new missions which take place before the events of I76. Here you play as Jade, Taurus or Skeeter. So far the GOG-Version works fine with Win7, even though Win 7 is not listed in the minimum system-requirements. I never got the original to run well with anything above Win98, and to use it with Win7 required quite some hacks, so they must have done something right. I could not play through the entire game yet, I know my original version would crash with Win7 in some later mission of the storyline, I hope the GOG version does not. The sound of the weapons is a bit glitchy, seems like the sound files for the shots are not played for their full length. If you don't know the original game, you will probably just think that some sounds are a bit too quiet. This is also a problem with the original version using a recent Windows, though. Out of the box the GOG-version does not use glide, as you can see from the screenshots. I always thought the original graphics to look nicer than the glide version anyway, so I'm happy with that.
Is this helpful to you?
