Most-played Roadwar games
Roadwar Europa
DOSStrategy
Roadwar Europa is a post-apocalyptic strategy and action game developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. for DOS. It places the player in command of a mobile convoy traveling through a devastated Europe, where fuel, supplies, vehicles, and firepower determine how long the group can survive. The game combines an overhead strategic journey with direct encounters against hostile forces. Players choose routes, manage the convoy, and fight for resources while attempting to reach objectives across a hostile continent. Its hybrid design reflects SSI’s interest in computer wargames, and it received attention for blending strategic planning with arcade-style combat, although its interface and difficulty can feel demanding by modern standards.
Roadwar 2000
DOSStrategy
Roadwar 2000 is a post-apocalyptic strategy game developed and published by Strategic Simulations, Inc. for DOS in 1986. The player leads a motorized convoy across a devastated United States, searching for survivors, supplies, fuel, and useful technology while confronting rival gangs and hostile forces. Its play style combines an overhead travel map, resource management, recruitment, and tactical vehicle battles. Rather than presenting a purely reflex-driven driving game, it emphasizes planning and survival logistics. Contemporary and later discussions often recognize it as an ambitious, unusually detailed computer strategy title, although its interface and demanding systems can make it difficult for new players.
How is this list kept current?
How rankings are calculated
The list is generated from active EmuGamers catalog entries. Votes and play activity determine order; browser compatibility is reported separately and does not turn an untested game into a higher-ranked recommendation.
| Order | Signal | How it is used |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Real community votes | Games with at least one recorded vote appear before games with no votes. |
| 2 | Rating confidence | More votes rank first, followed by the rating value. |
| 3 | Play activity | Play count breaks rating ties and orders entries with no votes. |
| 4 | Stable tie-break | Game name keeps otherwise equal results deterministic. |
