Autoduel is a role-playing video game published by Origin Systems for the Atari 8-bit computers, Commodore 64, Apple II, and IBM PC compatibles in 1985.
[1] Autoduel is set in the United States in 2030, where cars are a primary means of protection and defense, and the highways are dangerous stretches of land ruled by gangs and vigilantes with armed vehicles.
The game also had a storyline, involving certain critical courier tasks, such as carrying important criminal evidence against "Mr. Big", through the dangerous terrain between cities.
The vehicle construction portion of the game allows a variety of power plants, guns, ammunition, mine-layers, smokescreens, oil slicks and rockets to be arranged onto an even larger selection of body and chassis types.
[7] Fuelleman stated "The game is pretty well conceived, but is marred by just enough technical flaws, substandard graphics, frustrating limitations, and general user unfriendliness that it just isn't much fun to play.
