Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is a race title in which we use giant 18-wheeled trucks to compete. The assumption is this: we play the role of a truck driver, whose task is to transport the cargo to the indicated address faster than the competition will do.

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is a race title in which we use giant 18-wheeled trucks to compete. The assumption is this: we play the role of a truck driver, whose task is to transport the cargo to the indicated address faster than the competition will do. Haste means, in many cases, breaking road traffic regulations, which is why the police often sit on our backs.

We can choose from four carts: Thunder, Megaone, Thunderbull and Sunrise W12. In practice it doesn't matter which one you choose, because you don't see any differences in the way you drive your vehicles. However, only two machines have a trailer for goods. The same applies to routes, as the names (Devil Passage 1 and 2, Forgotten Road, Nightride, Small Town Road) suggest differentiation, and yet in reality they are very similar to each other.

We compete with only one rival and it is always a rally of the type from point A to B. The control of the wagon itself is limited to simply pressing the directional keys, as no other activities are foreseen. The whole picture is complemented by such things as: not necessarily realistic acceleration of trucks (even when reversing), the possibility of leaving the route and wandering into infinity, etc.
