Vigilante 8 is a 1998 vehicular combat game developed by Luxoflux and published by Activision for PlayStation, Nintendo 64, and Game Boy Color. Although officially it has no connection to Activision's Interstate '76 series,[4] it features several of its themes including auto-vigilantes, the 1970s time frame, and specific fictional vehicle companies. Its home console versions received favorable reviews, and it was followed up by Vigilante 8: 2nd Offense in 1999. A remake was released as Vigilante 8 Arcade in 2008.
