Highways That Appeared In Video Games?

[ColossalBlocks]

Has anyone played a game that has a major US Highway/Interstate in it? I'll give an example.

Ultimate Driving on Roblox involved US 40, I-76, US Highway 322, I-95, I-476, and I-80. Just not accurate since this is based from Delaware.

There is also American Truck Simulator, but it would take a bit to name all the roads.

My brother and I had an Intellivision (he still has it, actually, and it still works, though he doesn't hook it up very often) and I had an iMagic game called "Truckin'," programmed by the same guy who created "Microsurgeon." As the game's name implies, you drove a truck around North America via Interstate highways or the Trans-Canada Highway (misnumbered for gameplay reasons as a continuous "Canada Highway 1" using an Interstate 1 shield). There was also an "Easter Egg" Interstate 9 in California, near where Silicon Valley would be in real life, that led to an iMagic billboard and a "city" whose gameplay code matched the programmer's initials.

I don't remember which Interstates were part of the game other than, obviously, I-5, I-95, some of the other long-distance routes, and the two routes noted above. I'll have to search online during intermission (the hockey game is on TV now) and I'll edit this if I find something.

Did some searching and found some of the materials from the box and a screenshot with the great high-rez early-1980s graphics.

I-15 frequently appears in the early Fallout games.

Test Drive Unlimited (I have the Xbox 360 version) features the whole island of Oahu in Hawaii. I believe it has every road on the island (or at least the major roads).

Apparently centering single-digit numbers on shields was a bridge too far.

So since I can see the front end of a Kenworth reflected dead center in this Peterbilt's mirrored grille, this image is supposed to represent a moment roughly two seconds before a spectacularly catastrophic head-on collision?

Apparently centering single-digit numbers on shields was a bridge too far.

Note the map showing "I-101." As I think back, I seem to recall that route's sign displayed as "01" due to the technical limitations.

Cruising USA on N64 had lots of US 101 and I think the 10 freeway? Like 7 of the 14 races were in California. The Chicago race definitely  showed the Elevated transit

I'll just throw something in, i didn't think this thread would make it, so.

I-75 in a new Ultimate Driving game based in Florida.

And here's the UDU (Ultimate Driving Universe) group.

Was going to post this. There were also segments that were supposed to take place on I-90 through South Dakota.

The "US-101" stage is pretty liberal with its location, though. Somehow the Redwood Highway segment took place south of San Francisco, and transitioned directly into the LA area.

Need for Speed: The Run had a bunch, with somewhat accurate road signs.

As a kid, I played a lot of Road Adventures USA (by the Learning Company) which had basically the entire primary interstate system plus some additional routes.

The Crew has a reasonable interstate system, but hardly overhead signage whatsoever

san francisco rush had the 101 and I 80 in it (at least the playstation version did).
