{"product_id":"vigilante-8-nintendo-64","title":"Vigilante 8 - Nintendo 64","description":"\u003cp\u003eVigilante 8 for the Nintendo 64 is a vehicular combat game developed by Luxoflux — a spin-off of Interstate '76 — set in an exaggerated version of 1975 America in the midst of an oil crisis. The Oil Monopoly Alliance Regime (OMAR) has hired a ruthless gang of mercenaries called the Coyotes to eliminate the competition. In response, a truck driver named Convoy assembles a ragtag crew of civilians — the Vigilantes — to fight back. Players choose a side and a character, then battle through open destructible arenas across the American Southwest, each driver carrying their own unique story and ending.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eCombat takes place in fully destructible open environments — casinos, oil fields, ski resorts, Hoover Dam — where the entire arena can be torn apart during battle. Eight standard characters and five unlockables each bring a distinct vehicle and a unique special weapon, ranging from classic 1970s muscle cars to a school bus bristling with weaponry. Each character handles differently based on vehicle weight and type, and physics are exaggerated for maximum carnage — a nearby explosion will send your car flying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe N64 version is the superior release. Where the PlayStation version supports two players, the N64 supports four-player simultaneous multiplayer across three modes — two-versus-two, three-versus-one, and deathmatch. It includes an exclusive third hidden stage, an exclusive Quest mode campaign for Y the Alien, and a high-resolution display mode unlocked by the Expansion Pak. A two-player cooperative Story Mode is also exclusive to this version.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eReleased in March 1999 and published by Activision, Vigilante 8 was one of the three definitive vehicular combat games of the era alongside Twisted Metal and Carmageddon. It was followed by Vigilante 8: Second Offense on N64 and PlayStation. A strong multiplayer pick and an excellent representation of the genre at its peak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/strong\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRating:\u003c\/strong\u003e T (Teen)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlatform:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nintendo 64\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGenre:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vehicular Combat\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1–4 players (split-screen multiplayer)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeveloper:\u003c\/strong\u003e Luxoflux\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/strong\u003e Activision\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease Year:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1999 (March 1, 1999)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","brand":"Nintendo","offers":[{"title":"VG+  Wear on rear label Game Only","offer_id":42928388014165,"sku":null,"price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0565\/7673\/7365\/files\/325CE937-5286-4458-B144-AAC11C4B6D20.jpg?v=1788128053","url":"https:\/\/hifilofi.shop\/products\/vigilante-8-nintendo-64","provider":"HiFi LoFi","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
