I have my originals still!

A serious question, other than the box and the old style sheet of counters, how much would the Car Wars Pocket Box differ from the recent Car Wars Classic box set (SJG1400 )?

Pretty big differences. The Car Wars Classic box (first released in 1990) was distilled from the 1989 Compendium. The Pocket Box was much closer to the original release.

There's overlap, yes, but the two are different.

That sounds cool, I never pulled out my old Pocket Box and ran a side by side.

Truck Stop introduced the Mechanic skill and repair rules to Car Wars. Because these rules are in Truck Stop, The new Truck Stop Pocket Box should include, as an option, a reproduction of the Tool Kit included with the Autoduel CRPG by Origin Systems, Inc. :o)
