Anyone else remember this game. Was wondering if there was another game that is like it or improved on it. Running a gang through the wasteland U.S. Managing your vehicles(looking for better ones), managing supplies(food, ammo, etc.). Hiring specialists, improving soldiers, controlling cities, etc. All that good stuff. I try to think of a similar game but can't at the moment. Plus the game isn't available on GOG. Tried the abondware websites but the download always sets of my anti-virus software.

I can't think of one myself, but your post reminded me of Autoduel (based on Steve Jackson's PnP game Car Wars).
It was basically Car Wars with less vehicle customization but more on gang management. Food, ammo, tires, fuel, and guns were essential. You could upgrade the armor on the vehicle sides. Upgrade the weapons used by the people riding in them from crossbows to guns. (It would switch back to crossbows if you had no ammo). You could ram other vehicles. The top down map did its best to allow some tactical combat. And I think you could have like 15 vehicles(I think there were like 12 vehicle types). Going to risk the abandonia one. Can't believe no one tried to make a better Roadwar 2000. I remember not caring about the story and just kept conquering city after city.

And turn-based too from what I read? It looks like a game that if remade, would do very well :)

Yeah, it was a mix of turn-based tactical combat and maneuver, crew and resource management, and exploration, with a story backdrop. Interesting and challenging. I'm trying to come up with a comparable game but am drawing a blank. The first that comes to mind - and it's only a few elements of the big picture - is FTL. But that's not really right, either. Car Wars table-top game (not the PC game AutoDuel), as mentioned, is also similar. Maybe something like Car Wars meets Port Royale or Pirates?

Dunno - it's hard to compare Roadwar 2000, at least from the games bumping around in my past.
Haven't played it myself, but what you are talking about sound a bit like this game:

You could always look for the amiga Version as adf ... should easily run in WinUAE. Hope it comes here someday soon together with other SSI classics.

Not exactly the same thing.
But nowadays I suspect this it's as close as you'll get.
I have requested this a few times myself. Would sure love to play Roadwar 2000 on GOG.
