Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is widely regarded as the <del>worst</del> <del>best</del> worst PC game ever made. It was released seemingly unfinished, and is also famous for its phrase "YOU'RE WINNER!". This phrase appears when the player crosses the finish line of a race. However, due to the complete lack of AI, the other trucks never leave the starting line. It also also regarded as one of the most highly unpolished and unaccomplished racing games of the era, by its many, many haters - although it will have fans who will maliciously and incorrectly disagree with this statment.. It wasn't awarded Best at E3 this year and its gotten many similar awards from IGN, Rock PaperShotGun and other premium news destinations. It is a well know and favourite of the 4Chan /v/ boards. It now has a series of memes based on it as well, Good Rig Greg, "Y U NO BIG RIG", "RIG GUSTA" and other age old family favorites.

This game has no multiplayer fan base at all. Its famous for its small and unvaried multiplayer component. Its got many multiplayer modes, capture the rig, death-toll bridge, capture the road and the very controversial new feature that was introduced in a recent patch - Attach The trailer. Its key feature is inserting the locking pin into your lock slot, the locking pin is especially key to understanding this controversy, as the critics are claiming that its is just "too damn long", and its dimensions exceed the manufacturer recommended specifications for the Lumina 2033E truck. Its been suggested that this become a three player experience, but the developers have shot this down at every turn, believing it to lead towards lewd sexual connotations. Those claiming that the game has been losing its realism have suggested that game's developers implement a new tire pressure check mini game.
