Reception
SSI sold 18,765 copies of Roadwar Europa in North America. Antic in 1988 stated "I loved the original version of this game and I love this sequel," citing its "simple and hypnotic" game play, user interface with both simple and complex options, and lack of copy protection. In the 1992 and 1994 surveys Computer Gaming World gave the title two-plus stars of five, calling it "Quite entertaining when originally released, but its graphics have rendered it obsolescent". Robbie Robberson reviewed Roadwar Europa in Space Gamer/Fantasy Gamer No. 81. Robberson commented that "In short, the Roadwar series is an example of a good idea that is short circuited by its components. If Strategic Simulations, Inc. can release these games with a better and quicker combat routine, or better yet, reduce the incidence of combat, these games would be a required addition to every serious computer gamer's library. As of now, they are simply entertaining in the short run, and tedious in the long."
