Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?
Thanks for the shoutout! It was a fun writing prompt -- and it was a better universe to use than any of the recent stories/prompts I've answered.
(Oh, and to answer your email Q, yes, I do have the .html files from DTM online, even if I'm not sure where the original files for the paper magazine! Searching for "Civic Wars" -- found some WordPerfect files -- uh oh)

I'm over there trying to hint that we all want more autoduel fiction! :D

Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?
I'm hoping the 'lost' CW novels will get re-released in Epub format, so that long-time players and new can enjoy them.

Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?
That would be neat but would require a possibly large amount of homework, since the original publisher has the rights - unless they have reverted to authors or their estates. We are merely the licensor.

Chernobyl,

The Driving Tigers/Road Wolves also published a limited print run of a Car Wars fiction anthology titled "Civic Wars" in the early 1990s.

Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?
I'd love to put the old Driving Tigers stories or even "Civic Wars" into Epub format, but I'd have to find out how to do that. Actually, first, I'd have to get permission again because whatever permission I had 20+ years ago (Gawd! was it that long?), I'm sure it didn't cover electronic books!

Re: The Old Car Wars Novels/Stories - Any good?
I played a couple of the game novels. Pretty interesting stuff, if somewhat basic.
