Steve Jackson certainly has a knack for keeping people up all night.

In high school, one night, I didn't get home until 6 AM because of Convoy, another awesome programmed adventure by Mr. Jackson but for Car Wars instead.*

I'm sure there's a point in developing such an adventure where the designer wonders what the purpose of all the work is, but it paid off. Thanks for the memories.

OMG, I remember the original scenario in Autoduel Quarterly 1/1. The stand-alone adventure in your link was much more fleshed out, but the original was still fun to play. You could play the scenario solo if you wanted to. "Maniac" from ADQ 1/4 was a great solo Car Wars scenario while "Nightstrike" from 1/2 was a huge RPG/tactical adventure for you to GM for a group. Ahhh, good memories there.
