Our take on 18 Wheels of Steel: Extreme Trucker

Drive trucks through three hazardous environments: ice, desert, and jungle.
Transport cargo such as diamonds and oil pipes, including oversized, high-risk, maximum, and minimum loads. The game includes more than 25 distinct rigs and over 30 types of cargo.
