A new release by SCS Software...18 Wheels of Steel: American Longhaul...I'm glad they brought Mexican cities back...Shame they dropped out Toronto in favor of other Canadian cities...Oh well...Here are some shots...Sorry about the HUD...I forgot I could turn it off until after I took the screenies... :-/

Hauling an Oversized Pipe...


Funny How They Wanted the Pipe at a Food Plant...

Cool! What do you do - just drive from place to place? If so, regional diversity? Or does it all look the same after 10 minutes.... :-?

Yep...You drive from city to city...You can pretty much do a cross America journey if you wanted to and if you had the time...And yes, there are mountains, cliffs, deserts etc etc as you pass along...The weather can change as well going from rainy to sunny or snowy. Its quite fun in actuality...You can choose amongst a plethora of cargo to haul...Some of them looks rather interesting

Does look quite fun  :)

And if you hit another vehicle - by MISTAKE, obviously ? Game over?

Nope...They simple turn on there 4 way flashers and wait for the police...I on the other hand drive off as if nothing had ever happened...The game is lots of fun...You can take any route you want, crash into anything you want (including cops)...The only thing they'll do is ask you to pay up a fine...Oh, and you need to stop at traffic lights...That's a rather large fine

If you want, you can try out the game for 60 minutes...It's only a 113MB download

Thanks for the link Ashar, may have to do that over Xmas....ah... just tried it, got an Adware alert...well, no downloading that then, but if I see it cheap in the shops I'll pick it up, the screenshots in the site gallery look quite tempting. Basically 'Truck Simulator'  :)
