Oh man, DungeonRobber. I loved that game. 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.

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.
