Gameplay[edit | edit source]
The main purpose is to make it to the finish line with your cargo within a given time. There are special vehicles that you can ram into that will add three seconds to your time. They look like purple Chevy Astro Vans. After Stage 1, the game gives the player a choice of trailer. One trailer is harder to haul, but provides a bigger pay-off while the other choice is easier to haul but provides a smaller pay-off. Money is deducted from the total when the trailer is hit.
Ports[edit | edit source]

The initial port of the game was released on the Dreamcast. Released by SEGA, it is fairly faithful to its arcade counterpart, but the voice actors for the characters were changed and the arcade's cross-country map loading screens were made more simple looking as well. A two-player mode was also made available. The game was released by Acclaim Entertainment (who also released SEGA's Ferrari F355 Challenge on the Dreamcast) on the PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube. The GameCube version was released on February 18, 2002.
Extras[edit | edit source]
If you complete all four parking stages then you will unlock a new one and if you complete that you will unlock one more. If you complete the arcade mode on normal with all four truckers you will unlock a new trucker.

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to live life out on the open road, with no one to answer to except Mother Nature? Sure you have, and thanks to Yu Suzuki's famed AM2 crew now you can get your rig on without the need for tricky licenses, expensive vehicles, high insurance premiums, or a crash-course in '10-4' trucker lingo. ('Cousin, you got your ears on? I got a Kojak with a Kodak, come on back'--translation: 'Greetings, friend. I see a police officer with a radar gun. Did you hear what I said?')
No, now you can have it all for less than 50 bucks, hotshot. Scheduled to come to the States early next spring, complete with head-to-head Internet play, 18 Wheeler American Pro Trucker is Sega's ode to the trucker's life. Featuring courses that take you from locations like New York to Key West (in the span of less than five minutes), your goal is to deliver cargo to your destination with as little damage as possible. Sounds straightforward, but every course has a rival you must contend with who is trying to beat you to the same destination point, and who will spare no effort in impeding your progress. Luckily there are 'bonus cars' littering the highway, which you can ram to add precious seconds on the constantly ticking clock. There are also minigames in between levels that test your parking skills for premium items, such as a horn upgrade or stylin' fuzzy dice to hang from your rear-view mirror.
For added life, 18 Wheeler also features a series of driving challenges a la Crazy Taxi--perform well and you can unlock new drivers and trucks. And if you want to race a friend, there's a split-screen two-player mode. Points are the goal of these contests: While your opponent may come in ahead of you, if you've struck and comboed more bonus cars to get your final point total higher, you win. But what really has the potential to extend this arcade game's shelf life is the aforementioned Internet play. We haven't had a chance to try it yet (it's being added special for the U.S. version--how 'bout that?), but racin' all your buddies from Cleveland to Albuquerque sure sounds appealin'. Here's hoping for a lag-free experience. *
