Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing News

At Margarite Entertainment, we believe that everyone is winner when they play "Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing"! However, we've noticed some suspicious activity on the leaderboards recently.

While we are not implementing anti-cheat systems, we will remove suspicious and impossible data from the leaderboards. Any repeat offenders may have their scores permanently removed, you have been warned.

If you’ve achieved an almost impossible time (such as completing the game in just milliseconds), we encourage you to submit your run for verification on Speedrun.com. Otherwise, your score will not be accepted.

Of course, this won’t affect your ability to play the game or modify files. It's just that if you want to participate in the global Leaderboards, you'll need to follow these guidelines.

'18 Wheels Of Thunder' boasts Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing's original box art, in a font forged from guitar pedals, light beer, and divorce papers. Flames jet from the snout of the marauding 'rig like snorted breakfast tequila following an especially piquant ex-wifely punchline. A rammed police car flails uselessly against the sheer girth of but one of those 18 thunderous wheels. Perhaps we might imagine a single tear trickling down the exasperated coparoo's cheek. As we reach out to wipe it from the case, we unwittingly dissolve the '1' from the tagline, leaving us with only '8'.

The 8 remains, smugly, for two decades. 8 is the Metacritic score for Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing. That is so incredibly powerful that words fail me. Not for Metacritic, meaningless institution run by and for leprous prestige weasels that it is. It's powerful for Big Rigs. To get less than a 61 on Metacritic, a game must either be so brazenly committed to its own bizarre artistic vision that it fizzles the minds of lesser critics like Skittles in lemonade, or simply be unplayable wank. I have read a lot of evidence that points toward the latter, but that can't be true, or it wouldn't be on Steam, right? Cheers for the spot, PCGN.

Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was misnamed. It should have been called Big Rigs: Through the Road Racing, or possibly Through the Nearby Buildings and Also Bridges. The 2003 truck racing game infamously lacked collision, meaning you could drive through anything, including your competitor...
