It was based on the random generation tables found in the AD&D Dungeon Master's Guide. I have the .flv file on my hard-drive so I can play the game without having to worry about an internet connection (of course, it's a bit harder to play these days because I don't have Adobe Flash installed anymore ;-). I once tried to play the same game manually - e.g., using pen, paper, dice and the ol' DMG. Man, that was tedious. >The Crew w/ Calling all Units. I think I'm finally over this game. I >still played it a couple days ago, but CAU made getting all the cars far >too easy, which I've done now. Been gettin' a hankering to return to "The Crew" myself. The racing wasn't the greatest but I loved the size of the world. In fact, I'd often forego the actual racing and just speed across the map (NYC to LA in 30 minutes; take that SR-71 Blackbird!) for the sheer enjoyment of it.
