Big Rigs is so bad the only reason you can think of its existence as a commercial game is to inspire young programmers in believing that if this kind of game can hit the shelves, they too can become a profressional game coder.
It's supposed to be a racing game, but you don't really race anyone. There's no AI. Your opponent appears at the start of the racing line, but he doesn't move.
There are objects in the way, but you can drive right through them. This includes the bridge, as you'll fall right through it when driving across.
The fun doesn't stop there. If you get tired of following the path, you can drive right off - only the sky's your limit. And it isn't really a limit, because once you get off the terrain way off in the mountains, you can drive right off....into a blank, white space.
When in reversem there is no acceleration, and you can come to a sudden halt as soon as you release the key.
And did I mention that there's no sound? And the game crashes if you choose one of the five maps available to race on?
To cap it all off, when you finish the race, an on-screen trophy cup appears with the intelligently-written words, "YOU'RE WINNER!" highlighting how carefully the game was crafted. And if you feel you can't beat your opponents normally, even though they don't move,you can just cheat by reversing back to the starting line after you've crossed it, and then cross it again. Sometimes the game can't tell the difference.

Claytonsays...LOL, from the review,
"If the goal was to create the world's most broken trucking game, then Big Rigs is a resounding success."
"However, it really takes a special kind of awful to be considered one of the worst games ever made."
Fortunately, Stellar Stone, the developers, are no longer in business.

LOL - loved watching the semi scale the sheer cliff.
deputydogThat is incredible. I wanna see more awful games.
lucky760Did a quick search to figure out how they were trying to market this masterpiece. Here's what they came up with:
Wow! That almost makes me want to buy it!
Superganja23says...lol lucky
lertadLucky, the funny thing about that is it's false advertisement. There's no CB talkin' (let alone sound), no "race" (no real opponents), and not all 5 tracks work. Stellar Stone released a patch to fix the latter, but all it did was led you to one of the other tracks instead. Major rofl.
nibiyabiWow.
AnimalsForCrackerssays...Say it with me, makers of Big Rigs, "betatest (′bād·ə ¦test)". Altogether now! In summary, blow me.
loorisyeah i knew about that.
i'm still wondering W H Y.
gorgonheapHey Just think; In 1980 kids would have done anything short of killing someone to play a game with graphics like this. Now its a form of torture used in terrorist investigations. It's true I heard it from my friend who has an uncle who's best friend works for the CIA.
looris"When in reversem there is no acceleration, and you can come to a sudden halt as soon as you release the key."
Wrong. There is no negative acceleration, meaning you can accelerate infinitly and never reach a max speed. And yes, you halt as soon as you release the key.
escape421521says...Mountain scene reminds me of the old Motocross "madness" they used to package with all the sidewinder controllers. Had about 2-3 maps, decent sound for the time, but by far the best feature was on a "mountain level" if you acc. all the way from one side to the other, you could scale the roughly 50 ft. vertical wall. This paled in comparison to the "top of the mountain" where if you went more then two feet from the edge your bike was no less than CATAPULTED to the other side of the level. GOOD TIMES
