Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is a brake jammin', CB talkin', convoy rollin' "action" game for the PC, "developed" by Stellar Stone and released in 2003. The player controls one of four semi-trailer trucks on one of four (plus one, as another level was added in an update) tracks, wherein the objective is to drive through the checkpoints and get to the finish line.

Features never-before-seen freedom, as the trucks can go up cliffs, through buildings, and into an endless void. The AI is infamously brutal and unrelenting, so a challenge is guaranteed.

See it for yourself.

This game provides examples of:

• Artificial Stupidity: Averted, as there is no AI at all. If you download the patch, the opponent rig will move...and then stop short of the finish line because there is no code for what happens when you lose a race. If anyone but the player happened to win, the game would crash.
• Broke The Rating Scale: Types 0, 1, and 5 (no less). The only appropriate grade for this game is "Incomplete".
  • Type 0: GameSpot said the only reason this game got a 1 was that's as low as their scale went. They admitted they don't give out zeroes, but maybe they should have on this one.
  • Type 1: Netjak had their code rewritten so they could stick this game with a zero.
  • Type 5: X-Play couldn't rate this game a zero, so they refused to assign a rating at all.
• Covers Always Lie: The box art depicts a truck with flames spouting from it ramming a police car with the tagline "18 Wheels Of Thunder." Not in this game.
• Exactly What It Says on the Tin: Well, you ARE a big rig, racing over the road. The back of the box, on the other hand...
• Faster-than-Light Travel: What you eventually achieve if you continuously accelerate in reverse. And when you release the reverse key, you instantly stop.
• Foregone Victory: You absolutely can't lose, and even if you download the patch to make the opponent rig move it still stops short of the finish line. Even if it did somehow cross it, it still wouldn't win because there is no programmed failure state! Basically, it is literally impossible for any race to end in the player not winning.
  • It gets even better! Sometimes, the game's code has trouble distinguishing between starting and finishing, so you might win the race the moment you begin.
  • On the other hand, if you're playing Big Rigs Racing, you've kinda already lost before the race began...
• Gravity Barrier: Averted, as gravity doesn't work.
• Insurmountable Waist-Height Fence: Non-existent. There are no walls at all. To quote a fellow on YouTube describing it:
  "You don't drive into things. You drive through them. And by "things", I mean anything and everything."
  • The only thing in the game that you don't drive through is the ground. Bridges do not count as ground.
  • They certainly weren't kidding when they titled it Over the Road Racing.
• Invisible Wall: Also non-existent. You can pretty much just drive off the edge of the world and stay there.
• Ludicrous Speed: Just how fast can your truck go in reverse? It depends entirely on how long you're willing to keep your finger on the Down Arrow.
• Obvious Random Assortment Of Code That Was Scotch-Taped Together And Drenched In Piss: ...Yeah.
  • In a desperate further attempt to pass it off as a real game, they actually released a patch. It fixed the opponent trucks' immobility and a broken map... and nothing else. And the opponent trucks now stop before they reach the finish line.
  • Resources from this game were used in a better, non-truck racing game, but it unsurprisingly sucked too.
• Refuge in Audacity: The developers, releasing the thing.
• The Wiki Rule: Yes, the game has its own Fan Wiki ! It's all just an Affectionate Parody...we hope.*
  Considering that they chose a Bidoof as their logo, it (fortunately) most probably is.
• Unwinnable: Inverted. It's impossible to lose in this game. See Artificial Stupidity and Foregone Victory, above.
• A Winner Is You: The three-handled "YOU'RE WINNER !" trophy has become more emblematic of the game than anything else.
