positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It is like Bus Driver - this game sucks, but if you, like me, have spent your whole childhood playing this game then you just can't get enough of this game!! One thing tho' that's ACTUALLY cool about the game is that the map is SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO biiiiiiig!!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →still an old gem It is the predecessor of "American Long Haul", but without Mexico...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →American Truck Simulator's very cool but somewhat less attractive grandfather. I never played this game until after 200+ hours of ATS and 100+ of ETS2. They graphics are dated but very good for games if that ere. It took a few gaming sessions, but I was able to tweak the Xbox controller settings to a decent level of response. They controller still feels a bit off and in cab steering wheel animations are jerky but again far better than many games from other devlopers. Surprisingly this game…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game takes me back to simpler times. It is just how I remember playing it so many years ago. I would recommend any of the 18 wheels of steel games not just this one in particular. They are all so good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Sadly the bug where the screen goes black when you are tired still exists...
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game was not only part of my childhood, but kicked off my interest in truck simulator games! I would love it if they did a remaster of this diamond!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game. W10 compatible.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a good game if you have an older pc that can't run the latest games and you want to practice backing a tractor trailer. The physics of the trailer behaves like in real like when you are backing it. Some truck yards even have alleys you can back into if you want. The only problem is this game doesn't have a clutch option (although it has manual shifting) so the air brakes loses too much air when you are practicing backing and use the brakes a lot, (fortunately it doesn't lock like in…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Just don't buy it. You're gonna get bored with it in about an hour, so son't waste $9.00 on it.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better than american truck simulator
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Better than Convoy, even if the cops are everywhere. It has a new map, but some segments are copied over, but it's mostly new.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →the nostalgia hits different

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →18 Wheels of Steel: Haulin' is a trucking simulation game developed by SCS Software and published by Cosmi Valusoft. Although it was originally released years before the modern generation of trucking simulators, it still serves as a memorable entry in the genre thanks to its combination of realistic driving mechanics and business management. Rather than focusing solely on transporting cargo, the game places equal importance on building a successful freight company, creating a rewarding…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →$1000 income to complete a job. $8000 fine running a red light. WTF? No reason to play this over ATS unless you are a glutton for punishment.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I remember playing this game in computer class in like 2010. Imagine if we had a game like this but with today's graphical capabilities.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Way too many random crashes to make this enjoyable :S
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game only has nostalgia going for it. as it is essentially an inferior version of ETS.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I purchased this game through Steam in February of this year. Today I have tried to play it again, but every time I click the icon, I get a message saying, X 18 WoS Haulin. I have tried restarting my laptop, restarting the game, deleting things to make sure I have room and nothing works. I am not happy as I paid for this game, and now I can't even play it. Unhappy Steam customer!!!

unlabelledView post →Good enough for me, however ATS is superieur, but here we can drive in almost all states of the USA (except Hawaii and Alaska) And we have snow in the north! Graphics are very poor with a lot of pop-up but it has that atmosphere if you can put yourself 20 years back ;)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First played this game nearly 20 years ago and i feel like it was easier when i first played it lol. but definitley brings back some nice childhood memories and im sure ill get back into it once ive played it more
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →More of a nostalgia kick than anything. Fun and relaxing game to play. Don't expect it to be perfect... or particularly good.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Song 2, I loved this OST so much, I used to boot the game just to listen to the music while doing homework. Hard Truck: 18 Wheels of Steel, such a great game. youtu.be/s6zo6tZrO20
unlabelledView post →I was pleasantly surprised with this sequel. AI traffic is still terrible and cars are not aware of your presence on the road, however if you sometimes use the service lane for driving there are usually no problems. All in all, when all the pros and cons are considered, I recommend playing this sequel because it's great for killing time and relaxing your brain.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →18 Wheels of Steel Across America was probably among my most played games when I was maybe 9 or 10. I usually think of Eurotruck players as at least 17+, but I wonder if there are still kids these days who also just get hooked on driving a truck in a video game.
unlabelledView post →great game as long as it dont mess up
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →this is a fun game if you like truck driving. and you can manage drivers.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game......Old game but Very enjoyable little if any crashes or lock ups.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Have always loved driving a semi. cant now so here is as close as i can get
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Surprised on how similar this game was to how I remember it from my childhood. It has been 15 years since I played it, but the banter commands for radioing other NPC truckers while driving was still in my muscle memory. So glad to see this game still being playable and on steam after so many years since it's release. Fantastic game, and I am glad to have so many memories with it <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Best game Its so good that everyone who reads this should get this game!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I would recommend this game however, at night, when you turn the headlights on, for me, they came on but they didn't light up the road. Really with Steam would fix this but in my opinion, Steam doesn't care about fixing any of their games if there is something wrong with it.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This one seems oddly similar to another one..
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Oh the nostalgia. I remember this game from my childhood. My dad was a truck driver and got me this game from I think Gamestop a while back when I was little. I lost the game and during my last days of high school I had a strong urge to want to find this game just to play it once again. It hasn't changed much from then. I personally like the game. Sure, there isn't much to look at but you have to remember this game is old. Like released back in 2006 old. The textures were pretty good for its…
