As long as we're talking about Virtual sailor and other games in this forum, I thought that we could throw up something that takes up the title to the Ship Simulator Extreme:)

18 Wheels of Steel Extreme Trucks!
This game looks promising! Here is the alaska driving on ice, narrow roads, wide loads and loads of accidents! The graphics have also improved, as Euro Truck Simulator! :)

18 Wheels of Steel Extreme Trucker should start shipping to retail stores across Northern America by the middle of October, 2009

I probably will get it, hopefully it will be on somewhere like simmarket, if not i'll get it from the website.

I have Haulin and Euro Truck Sim. Haulin is awesome, Euro Truck Sim is good for what it is but there could be more..

In your opinion.

Post by: Agent|Austin on October 08, 2009, 07:45:25
That would be correct Jack.

I will get a review up here as soon as I get the game on my door step.

It must have already been released somewhere because truckpol.com has cheats for it already.

I don't know how they can call Euro Truck Simulator as "simulator", no realism at all, so badly made physics in that game.
I hope they've improved their skills for this one.

Btw. I recognise the place in the last pic, seen an documentary about that road.

I agree, physics are horrible, no slipping or sliding at all on snow/ice...

Pretty much, get there are fast as you can, while breaking every law in the book.
