Sunday Drivers, loosely inspired by X Marks the Pedwalk,[1] a satirical 1963 Fritz Leiber short story about combat between motorists and pedestrians, is a supplement that presents urban combat in the small town of Midville[2] between warring factions of car duelists, pedestrian defenders, a motorcycle gang, and law enforcement.
Aaron Allston developed Jones's idea into a game titled Sunday Drivers that appeared in the April 1982 issue of The Space Gamer.
[5] In Issue 62 of The Space Gamer, Craig Sheeley commented "Car Wars enthusiasts: If all you want is arena and road combat, don't bother to get Sunday Drivers.
[2] In Issue 18 of the French games magazine Casus Belli, Martin Latallo noted "The counters provided are superb (especially the bikers) and the Midville map is very pleasant, once unfolded and stiffened."
Latallo warned, "Games can last quite a long time, especially if players start far apart, and pedestrians, due to their limited movement capacity, are at a disadvantage.
