Default Re: Sunday Drivers question

I played Sunday Drivers/Crash City in late 1982/early 1983 in the UK .

Britain has ( and had ) some extremely strange Laws on intellectual property rights . The 'Top Cat' Cartoon had to be called 'Boss Cat' in the UK , as there was a catfood called Top Cat already .

W.H.Smith Newsagent/Retailer had to put stickers over various gaming products to change their names from those already used for novels/magazines/records . Sunday Drivers was also Golf Magazine I seem to recall ? It's a long time ago & we had some equally bizarre reasons for changing names of American products that now seem ridiculous .

On a side note , I only recently found out the Moon Pies were the North American name for 'Wagon Wheels' in the UK ! Only released that after looking them up after they were mentioned on The Big Bang Theory ...
