\Basically, this is just a set of simple rules, so that you can create characters, vehicles and have both normal and auto combat. I suggest that you have played other RPGs before, and also the I'76 computer game before you start with this one, so that you know what it's all about.
I haven't described the world of I'76 at all in the game: it's up to the gamemaster to do that. He also must create fun adventures for his players. However, if I get a good response from you out there, I may do more for the game in the future. Have fun!
Additional testing made me realize there was need for another upgrade, and here it is, v1.2. It is just a minor change to combat rules and the car damage system. I also upgraded the vehicle sheets so they will fit the new rules.
This is the final version of the RPG, and no more changes will be done. I won't update this page any longer, but it will stay up until the day I need the Web space for something more important. The reason is simple: There is no need for more updates. The RPG turned out to be as I wanted. My friends and I enjoy it as it is. I hope you do too. : )

Hello there!
My name is Rad, and I am the original creator of Burning Rubber, the I'76 roleplaying game. Bored and without anything to do I just typed in "Interstate 76" along with my old I'76 handle in Google, and boy was I suprised to find your page. I can't believe that the game is still availible, and I thank you so much that you've kept it and taken the effort to host it. Sadly, I lost my copy a few years ago when one of my harddrives crashed, and have only a paper copy left. It will be great to be able to download the document again. Oh sweet Nostalgia! Wonder if anyone ever played it, besides me and my friends back then?
You have my full permission to host the game with the sheets, but you might want to remove the ugly background image as it looks really bad on today's resolutions. I prefer to keep my real name and this e-mail address hidden from the public though, but I wonder if I should give you a Hotmail adress to use on the page. Got to think about that.
Also, as you know, the old URL to the game is not longer active, and don't really need to be shown. As English isn't my native tongue I appologise for the bad spelling and grammar, but I did my best at the time.
I kind of find it funny to read today though, and it clearly shows that I was more eager to get the game done and playable than to correct the errors. I am also certain you'll find bad spelling and grammar in this mail as well (he he).
Well, thank you again!
Best regards,
Rad

SWAT Webmaster's Note: Thanks, Rad, for the permission to host your great game! Drive Offensively!
