Yes, this is actually what the game looks like (Margarite Entertainment)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing has made a comeback nobody wanted, but at least it looks like it works this time.<\/p>\n

The problem with video games<\/a> being labelled as the worst ever made is that it makes people curious to try them out. Rather than being quickly forgotten, some are more famous than genuinely good titles and get remastered surprisingly often.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve seen it happen before, with the remaster of infamous FMV game Plumbers Don\u2019t Wear Ties<\/a>, while Atari has threatened to do more with Bubsy the Bobcat<\/a> \u2013 despite the character not having a single good game to his name.<\/p>\n

Despite all this, it\u2019s still a shock to see Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing make a return; an announcement so ludicrous that when its trailer debuted on April 1, many understandably mistook it for an April Fool\u2019s<\/a> joke.<\/p>\n

In case you\u2019ve never heard of it, Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing launched on PC in 2003 and, as the name suggests, is a racing game where all the vehicles are semi-trucks.<\/p>\n

The idea is that you race rival truckers to deliver cargo, while also avoiding law enforcement. Despite this being how the game was advertised, anyone unfortunate enough to play it quickly discovered that not only were there no cops to avoid, but the other racers just sat in one place and never moved.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t an exaggeration. Big Rigs fundamentally didn\u2019t work, making it impossible to lose; especially since there was no collision detection, meaning you can drive right through the environments. Combined with the lack of a time limit, the game was effectively a sandbox title \u2013 except with nothing to do.<\/p>\n

Big Rigs quickly became infamous, especially after popular internet critic The Angry Video Game Nerd published a video on it<\/a> in 2014 (be warned, his video contains very strong language).<\/p>\n
