Welcome to the growing family of the Auto Vigilante Guild. This publication has been delivered to you with confidence. It contains the latest
information in auto combat, weaponry and protection never before published. The inside story on being an auto vigilante is avialable to you
as a member. Our publications are filled with facts, photos, diagrams, illustrations — the works. Written by people just like you. Best of all,
although these publications are used by technicians, you don’t have to be an engineer to get the picture, it’s written in plain English and well
illustrated.
Be sure to read “On-Pavement and Off-Road driving precautions” and “Avoiding collision and rollover” in the “Starting and driving” section of
this publication.
Remember, damage or performance problems resulting in modification of your vehicle may not be covered under AVG guidelines.
AVG has made a substantial a growing investment in North America, starting with the opening of AVG in the U.S.A. in 1960. AVG
pioneered the use of weapons in automobiles and has led the industry in improving both performance and fuel efficiency through engine
designs and the use of synthetic materials to reduce vehicle weight. AVG has also developed ways to build quality rocket launchers into its
vehicles at each stage of the production process, both through extensive use of automation and — most importantly — through an awareness
that the vigilantes are the central element in quality control. We care about your safety.
The AVG story of growth and achievement reflects our major goal: to provide you and other members with the latest in auto vigilante
weaponry and protection information.

You’ll be riding with Taurus and Skeeter. They’re the best
at what they do and you can trust them with your
life. Listen to them, Groove.
Taurus
I don't know his real name, but he's from somewhere in
New England. He was a poet there – even had a few
published. His wife and daughter were killed by criminals –
don't ever bring it up. He came to the desert to clear
his head and never left. Guess he figured it was time to
start doing things his own way. After awhile he hooked up
with me and we've been riding together ever since. He
drives a fully loaded '66 Jefferson Sovereign and is the best
man to have on your wing.
Taurus
Protect him and he'll protect you. Once you're out in the field, be sure
to listen to your CB, especially in combat. It’s your only link with
Taurus. And don’t forget to keep notes in your notepad.

He'll follow you and Taurus in his van, and cannibalize the creepers’ cars. When
the action slows down, he'll hook up with you and do any salvage and repair work
you want done. The weird thing about Skeeter is that sometimes he sees things
clearer than anyone else — he can say some pretty dark shit. A word of advice:
watch out when he drives, I think he's narcoleptic.
Skeeter 2/21/76
What can I say? Skeeter is... different. He doesn't have
any known family and I figure people have been taking
advantage of him all his life. He's probably wanted by
the law for crimes he doesn't even know he committed.
He eventually got a job on one of Daddy's pit crews. When
I decided it was time to leave, he came with me. I
have to say he's the best damn mechanic around. He can
fix anything.

At a benefit for the United Texas Law
Enforcement Agencies last night, respected
businessman Antonio Malochio presented
Marshall Jessup Stetson of the Texas Rangers
with a donation of $500,000 to aid in the fight
against crime and corruption. Texas Governor
Paul Whitfield issued a statement officially
thanking Malochio and Norman Industries
Limited, the company he represents, for their
generosity.
"With the generous assistance of Mr. Malochio
and his associates at N.I.L., we can make
significant advances in our fight against crime.
I can only hope that other businessmen will
follow his shining example," Whitfield said.
Antonio Malochio, a Vietnam veteran, currently
owns numerous import/export furniture
businesses throughout the state of Texas. He
has donated on occasions to other
state and organizations. Other benefits

3/3/76
I guess now I should tell you why I'm asking you to risk your life. I
wish I could give you a better explanation than I've got, but here it is.
Right before I left the racing circuit in Texas, I noticed a lot of
shit happening. Auto-villains were creeping up everywhere and the cops
either couldn't or wouldn't do a damn thing about it. Crime was rampant.
But it seemed organized, like something bigger was going on than just what
everyone was seeing. I started doing a little snooping around and realized
that something big was going down. Something I couldn't let happen. Here's
what I know....
The man behind it all is Antonio Malochio, a 'Nam vet who served three
consecutive tours. He was one of those guys who liked it over there. This guy
was into some heavy shit deep in the jungles of Cambodia, and supposedly he was
connected with Pol Pot, leader of the Khmer Rouge. After the war, he returned to
his business as a furniture importer/exporter. It's all a front. From what Taurus and
I can tell, he's been dealing with some "businessmen" in the Middle East who have
been "funding" him. And now he's recruited every freelance auto-mercenary in the
Southwest. He's building an army, Groove, and something big is going down. You have to
find out what he's up to. It's obvious that the cops won't be much help. But you've
got to get to Texas and find out what's going on. People are dying.
This is big. Very big.

How to Install
Please make sure your computer system is 100% Windows 95-compatible. Interstate ‘76 is not
compatible with Windows 3.1 or other operating systems.
For optimum performance, Interstate ‘76 requires that your system have the latest Windows 95
drivers for your CD-ROM drive, sound card and video card, as well as any other peripherals you
want to use (e.g., joysticks). If you have any problems running the program, older sound or video
drivers are the most likely problem.
If you need help on how to obtain the latest sound and video drivers, check out our Technical Help
file. Just press the More button on the Interstate ‘76 Title Screen (the Title Screen displays shortly
after inserting the Interstate ‘76 CD into your CD-ROM drive), then click the I ‘76 Help button. We have
supplied a list of major computer hardware companies and their telephone numbers. You can find
them listed under Vendor List. This file has a lot of other helpful information on installation and
system setup, as well as game-specific technical help.
1. Before installing, close all other applications. Also make sure Virtual Memory is on (located in
your System Control Panel).
2. Insert Interstate ‘76 Disc 1 (Install CD) into your CD-ROM drive and wait a few moments until the
Interstate ‘76 title screen appears. (If the title screen does not appear, please refer to "AutoPlay"
in the Troubleshooting section.)
3. After clicking Install on the title screen, click one of the following buttons to begin the installation
process and then follow the on-screen instructions.

3D Acceleration
Installing Interstate ’76 11
Interstate ‘76 includes 3D hardware acceleration for 3Dfx and Rendition chipsets. Provided you have
a 3D video card using either of these chipsets, these additional play options are available after
selecting Play from the Title Screen:
3Dfx This option launches the game using the native 3Dfx Glide API. A 3D video card using a
3Dfx chipset is required. Selecting this option without having a 3Dfx card properly
installed in your system will cause the game to crash.
Rendition This option launches the game using the native Rendition RRedline API. A 3D video card
using a Rendition chipset is required. Selecting this option without having a Rendition
card properly installed in your system will cause the game to crash.
Direct 3D This option launches the game using Microsoft’s Direct 3D API, which is a part of DirectX.
This option allows for accelerated play on both 3Dfx and Rendition video cards. Using
this option, the game may also play on other Direct 3D compatible 3D cards, such as
PowerVR, but performance is optimized specifically for 3Dfx and Rendition cards.
These options are available in addition to the standard Normal and Windows modes, which do not
require a 3D accelerator card. For troubleshooting and further general information regarding 3D
acceleration for Interstate ‘76, please consult the Technical Help file accessed from the Title Screen
(the Title Screen displays shortly after inserting the Interstate ‘76 CD into your CD-ROM drive).
Online Help
We have supplied a technical help file that can help you to troubleshoot problems. There are three
ways to access this help file:
• Right-click on the Interstate ‘76 CD icon and select Help.
• From the title screen, click on More and then I ‘76 Help.

Troubleshooting
12 Interstate ’76
AutoPlay
If the Interstate ‘76 title screen does not appear, try performing the following steps:
1. Double-click on the My Computer icon on your desktop or right-click on the icon and choose the
Open option.
2. Select the Refresh option located in the View pull-down menu.
3. Double-click on the Interstate ‘76 CD icon in the window or right-click on the icon and choose
the AutoPlay option.
4. After the Interstate ‘76 title screen appears, click on the Install/Play button.
If the AutoPlay feature does not function, please check the following:
1. Make sure the CD is clean and properly placed in the CD-ROM drive.
2. Your CD-ROM driver may not be optimized for use with Windows 95. To verify this, perform the
following steps:
a. Open the Windows 95 Control Panel folder and double-click on the System icon.
b. Click on the Performance tab. If any of your hardware drivers are not fully optimized for use
with Windows 95, they will be listed here with an explanation of the exact problem and
suggestions on how to fix it.
DirectX 5
During the Interstate ‘76 setup, the installation process will determine if Microsoft’s DirectX 5 needs to
be installed on your computer. If so, the appropriate files will be installed on your computer
automatically.
Q. What is DirectX 5 and why do I need it?
A. Microsoft’s DirectX 5 is a set of functions that gives Windows 95 games and other applications
their power. Using these functions allows applications to perform advanced functions in
networking, graphics, sound and input beyond what’s possible on other operating systems and
accounts for much of the performance gains associated with Windows 95 games. Interstate ‘76 for
Windows 95 uses DirectSound, DirectDraw and DirectInput, as well as Direct 3D for the hardware
accelerated version.
Installing Interstate ’76 13
Q. If I don’t have DirectX 5 will Interstate ‘76 install it for me?
A. Yes. If InstallShield does not detect DirectX 5 on your computer, it will install DirectX 5 for you.
After installation is complete, you will need to restart your computer in order for DirectX 5 to
take effect.
Q. I already have other Windows 95 games installed on my computer. Will the Microsoft DirectX
Installer change my DirectX files?
A. If you already have other Windows 95 games on your computer, chances are you already have
the initial version of DirectX installed. In this case, the Microsoft installer will detect and
overwrite any previous versions with DirectX 5. At that point, you will need to restart your
computer for the changes to take effect. If, however, you already have DirectX 5 installed on your
computer, the Microsoft DirectX 5 installer will detect that and not overwrite any DirectX 5 files.
You will not need to restart your computer after installation in order to run Interstate ‘76.
For your convenience, video drivers for some commonly used video cards have been supplied on
Interstate ’76 Disc 1, which can be restored on your system if you experience problems after
installing DirectX 5. Please consult the Technical Help file for more information on troubleshooting
DirectX problems. Just press the More button on the Interstate ‘76 title screen (the title screen
displays shortly after inserting the Interstate ‘76 CD into your CD-ROM drive), then click the I ‘76 Help
button. We have also supplied a list of major computer hardware companies and their telephone
numbers. You can find them listed under Vendor List. This file has a lot of other helpful information
on installation and system setup, as well as game-specific technical help.
Performance
Interstate ‘76 has features that are designed to support a wide range of computers. When you launch
Interstate ’76 the first time, the game will automatically configure default settings optimized for your
system. Changing these default settings may affect performance. The following are the default
configurations:
P90/P100: 320x200 resolution with all features enabled.
P133 with 16 MB of RAM: 640x480 resolution with terrain textures disabled.
P133 with more than 16 MB of RAM: 640x480 resolution with all features enabled.
P166 and above: 640x480 resolution with all features enabled.
PROBLEM SOLUTION
Program won’t install
Game doesn’t start
Movies don’t play properly
You may have insufficient hard disk space for the program to copy the files it needs from the CD
to your hard drive. Free up more hard disk space.
This problem may be caused by lost clusters on the hard drive. Run SCANDISK to determine if
this is the problem. See your Windows 95 manual for more details on SCANDISK.
• Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for the program, especially your
CD-ROM drive. The program requires a CD-ROM drive with a minimum sustained transfer rate
of 600Kbps (a quad-speed drive).
• You may not have enough RAM to run movies. Check to make sure you have sufficient RAM to
run this product. Interstate ‘76 requires a minimum of 16 MB (32 MB or higher recommended).

Launching Interstate ’76 25
When playing IPX and Internet multi-player games or Instant Melee games against
computer-controlled auto-villians, you are awarded score for enemy kills. The base score
for each enemy is 1000 points. However, this may be adjusted depending on a score
multiplier that is determined by the vehicle weight of the enemy divided by your vehicle
weight (see page 24 for details on vehicle weight). For example, if you are using a large
car that is fully loaded with the biggest weapons and you destroy a small car with small
weapons, the score awarded for the kill will be less than 1000 points because of the
multiplier, which exists to maintain fairness between players who use varying car and
weapon types.
Click on the Max. Score box on the Net Melee Host Even Form to enable a maximum
score level. When this option is enabled, the game will end when the maximum score is
reached. You may click on the + or - signs to adjust the maximum score. The default is
20,000 points.
When hosting an IPX or Internet multi-player game, you have the option of selecting team
play by clicking the Team Play box on the Net Melee Host Event Form. After clicking on
the Broadcast Game button, the Choose A Team menu will appear. Here you can select
from one of eight different teams, each with a color in the team name. Once the game
starts, the targeting brackets of the currently targeted vehicle will appear as the team
color. This will help you differentiate between friends and foes in battle. Remember that
you can kill a teammate just as easily as an enemy, but you are awarded no points.
When joining a team game, the Choose A Team box will appear after clicking on the Join
Game button. Just select which team you wish to join.

26 Interstate ’76
Interstate ’76 features over 30 types of vehicles many of which feature multiple variants. In the TRIP,
you inherit Jade’s Picard Piranha, which you can configure between missions. In Melee, you can
choose and configure any of the vehicles that appear in the game.
Vehicles feature realistic driving physics and will handle accordingly. You will tend to lose a little
control when driving off-road—especially over rough terrain. When driving off-road, be careful when
driving over steep bumps as you may get airborne and roll your car. Also watch your speed or you
may skid or fishtail the car.
Throughout the game, you will take damage in a variety of ways. To protect you, vehicles are
outfitted with two types of defenses:
Chassis Reinforcement - This protects you from all types of collisions including rough terrain,
structures, signs and other vehicles.
Armor - This protects you from the various types of weapons fire with the exception of
bloxdroppers, which affect your chassis reinforcement. Note: Recent tests by the AVG have
concluded that no defense is sufficient against fire weapons. The nature of the fire streams allow
penetration through any defense system.
Between TRIP missions, you can select damaged parts to be repaired over the course of the next
mission. Upon return, you can configure your car using these repaired parts. See Salvage
Management on page 34 for more information on repair.

Tyler-Barnett TB525
Limited Edition Vigilante Instrument Suite
From world renowned Tyler-Barnett Industries comes the ultimate
in auto-vigilante technology–the latest in a long tradition of the
finest vehicle instrumentation. Presenting the Tyler-Barnett TB525
Limited Edition Vigilante Instrument Suite (VIS). Where road
domination and elegance come together in perfect harmony.
Primary Display
1. Radar
State-of-the-art military technology provides for easy tracking and targeting of
enemy vehicles. Enemies will appear as blips on the radar. The radar will sweep
until locked onto a target at which point the sweep will follow the target.
2. Armor/Chassis Reinforcement
Making its debut for 1976, this new addition to the VIS tracks body armor and chassis
reinforcement, making it easy to know when to change driving patterns during combat.
There are two graphic displays comprising the basic outline of your vehicle. The outer tracks armor
status (protection from weapons fire) and the inner tracks chassis reinforcement
(protection from collisions). Any section that is damaged will light accordingly. Green indicates
slight damage, yellow indicates moderate damage and red indicates severe damage.
3. Systems Gauge
A quick glance is all you need to know the status of your vehicle’s major components. Each component has its own indicator, which will
light depending on the level of damage. White indicates no damage, green indicates slight damage, yellow indicates moderate damage
and red indicates severe damage.

stripe. Rear firing and Dropper weapons are listed below the stripe. Indicators conveniently placed next to each weapon will light when
the weapon becomes damaged. White indicates no damage, green indicates slight damage, yellow indicates moderate damage and red
indicates severe damage.
5. Compass
A standard compass that shows your directional heading. Provided free of charge with purchase of Limited Edition Package.
6. Drive Gear Indicator
The gear indicator is often ignored, but not anymore. By repositioning it from the steering column to the dashboard, you can check your
gear with a quick glance.
Secondary Instruments
7. Speedometer
Accurately track your speed with this finely-tuned precision instrument.
8. Tachometer
Also new for 1976, this shows your current RPMs.
9. Specials Display
When in the heat of battle, it’s hard to remember the little things. So, we’ve included the added luxury of a completely customizable
Specials display, where you can easily list all of the goodies that have been added to your car.

Cycle through available weapons using the Weapons Toggle key (Enter), then hit the Fire key
(Space Bar) to use the highlighted weapon. You can also link similar weapons that are facing the
same direction by hitting the Link Weapons key (L). This will allow you to fire the linked weapons
simultaneously by hitting the Fire key (Space Bar). You can also use a joystick for cycling through
weapons (Button 2) and firing (Button 1). See Controller Config on page 38 for details.
You can visually target a vehicle by centering it in the reticle on your hood or by using your vehicle’s
targeting system, which features the following functionality:
Radar Range R
Target Nearest Enemy T
Target Next EnemyE
Cancel T arget Y
Target Under Reticle Q
Weapons Camera W
Hitting any of the above targeting keys will target the corresponding vehicle or object provided it is
within range. A targeted object will have brackets around it in addition to a damage indicator. The
damage indicator will change colors as the vehicle or object becomes more damaged. White
indicates no damage, green indicates slight damage, yellow indicates moderate damage and red
indicates severe damage.
You can adjust the range of the radar by pressing the Radar Range key (R). This will toggle between
two different tracking ranges. And by pressing the Weapons Camera key (W), you can use the builtin weapons camera to display a graphic representation of the current target. This feature is only
available when using a turreted weapon.

The Car 31
A turreted weapon is mounted on the top of your car, and rotates regardless of the direction you are
driving. It will lock on to the current target shown on your radar and will track it until a new target is
selected. A turreted weapon is very useful when driving in extreme battle conditions.
You can link similar weapons (L), which will allow you to simultaneously fire weapons of the same
type that are facing the same direction. For example, any Slug Throwers that are facing the same
direction may be linked. The same is also true for any Droppers, Flamethrowers, Mortars and selfpropelled projectiles. Turreted weapons may not be linked.

Salvage Management
When in the TRIP, Skeeter will salvage what he can from the vehicles you destroy in the field. Then
between missions, you can choose from the salvage and reconfigure your car or leave parts to be
repaired. There is no Salvage Management in Melee.
1. When you arrive at this screen, review the Field Salvage area to see what parts Skeeter has
salvaged from the previous mission.
2. Check out the Car/Van Inventory to see what you already have both on your car (C) and in
Skeeter’s van (V).
3. Click on the Field Salvage items you wish to put into your Car/Van Inventory (V).
4. Click on Accept Salvage to proceed.
The damage state of a given part is indicated with a colored highlight. No highlight indicates no
damage, a green highlight indicates a slightly damaged part, a yellow highlight indicates moderate
damage and red indicates severe damage.
Leave behind what you don’t
need - take what you do.

Combat 37
You will experience a lot of action in the field and your life will depend on how well you fight while
driving. Here are some helpful hints contributed by members of the AVG.
• Be careful when driving off road. You may take severe chassis reinforcement damage when
driving over rough terrain.
• Keep your eye on everything around you. Be sure to use your radar and targeting functions to
track enemy vehicles.
• While it is easy to lose control of your vehicle, you can also use skidding to your advantage.
Auto-villians will often try to tail you and attack from behind. Use your Emergency Brake (Z) to
quickly spin the car around and return fire.
• Use turreted weapons to your advantage. Once a target is selected, a turreted weapon will
remain locked on the target and fire directly at it regardless of the direction you are driving.
• Be careful when firing missiles at close range. There is a chance that you will miss the target.
Missiles are best used for medium and long range combat.
• Watch your speed around sharp turns. It is easy to lose control of your car and slide into the side
of a mountain.
• Take advantage of the direct-firing weapon keys (1-5). This allows for easier and quicker firing
without having to first cycle through your weapons.
• Use the F4 view in combat. This allows for the currently targeted vehicle to always remain in your
view.
• For added firepower, link identical weapons facing the same direction (L) to allow for
simultaneous firing.
• Try not to waste ammunition. You have a limited supply, and it is very dificult to fend off creepers
when you have no weapons.

Listen to your CB. This is your
only way to communicate with
Taurus in the field. He will
help you out, so pay
attention!
Use shortcuts when possible like the one to Seagraves.
You’ll need to save time
whenever possible.
Be careful past Seagraves. The
roads are curvy - and more
importantly creepers have been
spotted in that area in the
last few months. Wagon
Wheel Diner could be meeting
spot for Malochio’s goons.

Taurus likes to use the dirt
road off highway 385 for
practicing driving over rough
terrain - he may test you
there.
Look out for Lead Sled
near Brownfield. He’s been
creeping around the area for
the past few weeks. He
usually drives a red Rattler.

Watch out by the farmhouses.
I think they’re being used as
holding areas for supplies by
Malochio’s men. Spotted Strider
and Leprechaun in the area.
I think the Bar D is also
being used as hideout - it’s
the abandoned roadhouse on 114
just past the gas station and
overpass. Saw Manta - not
sure who it is.
