A conversational roll playing game back in the 1990s. What geeks played when they were feeling a little board with AD&D and just wanted a chance to play evil in game pranks on thier friends. Game setting takes place in a vast underground city after the great nuclear war. Players make clone characters in a darkly humurous marchivellian world.

When you are driving and the car behind you makes several of the same turns as you do, causing you to become paranoid and take routes you normally wouldn't take just to see if they are following you.
Ed: why are you late?
Tom: I got lost. This car kept turning when I turned so I got Highway Paranoia and ended up on a dirt road.
