This feels like the Morbius re-release. Big Rigs is (in)famous for being one of the worst/most broken games ever made, who in their right mind would pay for it?

Big Rigs is literally the only video game in existence I can think of that has the same "B movie" qualia about it. It's so bad, it's actually funny to play because of just how insanely bad and broken it is. I mean, what other game can you accelerate to literal infinity and beyond by simply driving backwards?

If they actually remastered it and made it a good game, it would actually suck more than the unique experience the terrible original offers.

Super Mario 64 /s

I don't think I agree. I feel like the game is so short and incomplete that you can see everything it has to offer by playing it for 10 minutes - or watching a YT gameplay.

The game has one map, no collisions, no AI. I think I remember it having different playable "rigs" but they are mechanically the same, so there's no point.

At least with a game like Oblivion you could play it for 20 years and still find new ones. Big Rigs doesn't have near the same "energy".

Fun fact, Ace Combat 5 has a similar "going at ludicrous speed" bug (We have to go faster, We have to go even faster), but it also has an entire (actually good) playable game attached to it.

No pricing info or firm release date is available as of this writing,

I will give them 20 pence and a pocket of crisps I found yesterday under a cupboard

It better be free. Not worth $0.01 as it's literally unfinished

Be great to see that in my free games feed.

I'm surprised to find it's not already on Steam.

Is this the same Big Rigs from Yogscast's Truckin' Tuesdays fame?

Peak 2006 GameSpot. Alex Navarro's video on this game.

Awe. I would have ironically played that.

Scroll down a few posts. As far as we can tell, this is legit.
