Description of RoadWar 2000
If you haven't play RoadWar 2000 (also known as Road∗War 2000) already, go ahead and download it now! Published in 1987 by Strategic Simulations, Inc., RoadWar 2000 (also known as Road∗War 2000) features strategy in a post-apocalyptic genre.
This classic SSI game was available on the IBM, C-64, and Apple, and the IBM version is not the best. Still, its a fun and unique game that is both simple and yet addictive at the same time. The plot is that in the year 1999 (which, I know, has already passed :) ) a terrorist group unleases a deadly virus on the United States and the country collapses. You control a road gang that is trying to take over cities and survive the harsh world. Do well enough and you'll be contacted by the government and sent on a quest to find eight missing scientists and bring them back to a secret base. You move the gang around on a map of North America and have to loot cities for needed supplies, engage in gun battles with other gangs, and fight detailed tactical road battles to capture vehicles..Good EGA graphics for its time and no two games are quite the same. Downsides are no sounds, easy to die at the start of the game, and unrealisitc features in the game (such as how gang combat in non-tactical battles is conducted). Despite these flaws, this is a great game that should have received more attention then it did. Two thumbs up!

I can't seem to add the right floppy drive A for this game to play it. I'm sure it's my fault, because of my lack of computer skills
