Heed the call of the open road, throw the gears in motion and take off in a tractor trailer. Drive faster than your competition, haul your cargo across the entire United States and feel the wind in your face as you control your own destiny. Blast the horn and build a career in the fast-paced world of trucking.
Keep in mind that there's more to being a successful businessman than just driving fast. You've got to manage your money, keep your rig running smooth and watch out for speed traps that might trip you up. Bad weather? Fuel troubles? Tricky loading docks that require pinpoint precision? It's all part of life in the cab of a 18-wheeler. If you've got the guts, jump in a truck and head out for the highway.
It's great to have these back(this and the others in the series). I still have the CD for this one, but it's wonderful to see it finally arrive here anyways. Instant buy.
This truly was groundbreaking stuff when it came out in those halcyon days and dare I say it still holds up rather well to the new kids in town.
and GOG. This is the kinda stuff I wanna see on the site. So keep it up.
Play in Become Millionere mode.
I didnt play similar games from other devs (i dont know that alternatives, i guess some german developed simulators exist). But for SCS or russians devs - this is best Truck driving simulator. No doubt.
Not Rig n Roll, not ETS2\ATS, not old HT2 King of the Road (too arcade game). Across America - only one game with really competion AI opponents. Any newer games from SCS - just sandbox game without competion with opponents or no opponents at all.
Yes, most of them have goal take 51% of market. But only old HT2 have opponents... still individuals and too weak. In Across America AI company - real company. With HQ in some cities (and cargo advantages in that city). And growing fast copmanies. Other games from SCS - percentages just a digits.
SCS almost like 3DO back in the days. A lot of same games - and newest lack of content. American Long Haul - latest of the series (Extreme - is just A-to-B routes). And lack of features from every prev. games. Every have own exclusive one feature.
Yes, this game is too aged. Size of USA is too small scaled. No cargo planning (too much randomised for that). Some other thigs from every later games. And ofc - graphics. Sad, but true - still there is no alternatives.
I bought the bundle with this game, I own all 18 Wheels Of Steel games and I enjoy them all. It's a very old game but still fun. It has all the same basic elements as ATS and ETS2. It's fun going through the history of these old trucking games.
