Sprawl Maps is IMHO, a big rip for the price. Seven 11x14 maps, $15.00 US.
Map one, large nightclub. Map 2, five apartments of various sizes. Map 3,
indoor (small) park, supposedly able for use as an outside park. Map 4,
three monorail/subway cars. Map 5, small monorail/subway station (The only
way that the subway train/monorail tram on map 4 would be able to stop on
this station is if they let the cars stop one at a time). Map 6, two small
warehouses. Map 7, one "large" warehouse. The upstairs level of the
warehouses are not included.

Maybe for $8.95, these would have been worth the price. But as Sprawl Maps
stand right now, it's very overpriced.

FASA put the cardboard in there to make it look bigger or what? I thought
by the description it'd be a half decent map source...sheesh!
