I played so many games on Apple 2e. Conan, Trompers, Jaws, Moon Patrol, Sticky Bear Numbers, Carmen San Diego, Castle Wolfenstein, AutoDuel, Zork, Flight Simulator, and so many others.
Couple years later in 1987 we got a Nintendo.

I guess you could always mount studs/spikes on you car doors to discourage them. We get ever closer to an Autoduel/Car Wars style dystopia every day.

The end of the game is not the end of the game. Depending on the game. Some games loop endlessly getting faster and faster until the memory breaks. Some games were sandboxes that let you play endlessly. I loved Autoduel on Apple II, I never saw an end screen. Moon Patrol was so fun.

Autoduel (1985) was an open world action RPG about surviving in a Mad Max inspired dystopia. It doesn't hold up well graphically, but I loved the freedom it offered in terms of exploration, progression, and customisation.

If only to write the 'mon versions for different GURPS settings. Aniduel where it's Autoduel with creatures instead of cars, Transhuman Space where you wear your 'mons and vice versa, Cybermech Damocles where you control your personal bonded kaiju Gigantor-style, Sahud but all magic is summons...

I leaned heavily into the Autoduel AADA Road Atlases for plot points and I had the players just decide where the story went.

I'm at the point of "GURPS books are useful references to use with other systems," and other than my GURPS Traveller stuff I think I just have Goblins, Cthulhupunk, and Autoduel.

The super bold linework and limited color palette are just so good and evocative, especially when they switched to the cleaner layout of the later issues

It was based on the table-top wargame/RPG Car Wars. It plays like a space trading and combat game, except that it’s cars and not space ships.
