{"product_id":"vigilante-8-n64","title":"Vigilante 8 - for N64","description":"\u003cp\u003eVigilante 8 is a vehicular combat game for the Nintendo 64, developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision in 1999. The setting is the western United States in 1976, in the middle of a worldwide oil shortage. An outfit called OMAR, the Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime, hires the best terrorist a hundred million dollars can buy, Sid Burn, and sends him and five hired Coyotes to wreck the refineries of the southwest. Six civilians led by a truck driver named Convoy call themselves the Vigilantes and drive out to stop them.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVigilante 8 gives you eight characters, each with their own agenda, and vehicles that run from classic 1970s muscle cars to a school bus, every one of them stacked with weapons. Arenas are open enough that driving skill matters as much as aim, and the Nintendo 64 version of Vigilante 8 lets four players go at it head to head. There is plenty held back for people who keep playing: hidden levels, three of them on this version, plus five hidden characters and cars.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat has kept Vigilante 8 alive is tone. The soundtrack, the dusty desert palette and the deadpan cast give it a personality that outlasted most of the car combat games it shared shelves with, and the four player mode is still a fine reason to dig out every controller you own. For collectors, Vigilante 8 is the Nintendo 64 doorway into a genre that burned bright and briefly, and a cartridge that gets an evening started in about thirty seconds.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vehicular Combat\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRegion:\u003c\/strong\u003e NTSC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxoflux\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCartridge Only: No Box or Manual\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nPlease note that this listing is for the \u003cstrong\u003egame cartridge only\u003c\/strong\u003e.
