Well, I found this somewhat alarming, I didn't know how Mike would react to someone else using the name of his game as thiers. So, I wrote him and asked him.

Which is not surprising, since I was looking for anything else
out there with the same name...before it became too
inconvenient. *chuckle* I don't want to steal your game's name,
so I was wondering if you coujld lookit my game's web page and
help me think up a new name :)
Actaully, I didn't really take a close look at your document yet,
but it reminds me a lot of...a cross between Cyberpunk and
BattleTech. My game is entirely differnet...it's very free form.
So, I corjually invite you to have a look at the game I'm putting
up. It's at:
http://www.cairgrey.com/robo
I hope you like it.

Mr. Epstein gave me a friendly reply, suggesting I kept the title The Robowars Roleplaying Game.

I haven't even looked at my game in years. I haven't had any time and it
wasn't very well developed. The name is yours if you like. I don't mind
if you use it.
