A game known for being one of the worst created can reach Steam.
Great platforms: Over The Road Racing originally launched on PC in 2003, and quickly won a reputation of being terrible.
Now, as noted in the SteamDB database, today a list was added to the game, with a launch date of the second quarter of 2025.
“Prepare for a little brake Jam’in, cb talk’in, transmits Roll’in’s action throughout the United States,” says Steam’s description of the game. “From Portland Oregon to Miami Florida, it will transport loads and try to keep one step ahead of the law while going up to its large platform for a non -stop driving action.
“And if that is not enough, you can also run your modified platform in one of the 5 different tracks for the final driving career while crushing the competition and establishes a new history.”
The 2003 game was developed by Stellar Stone and published by Gamemill Publishing. While Stellar Stone returns to list as a developer here, the editor appears as Margarite Entertainment, an entity that does not seem to have much presence online.
The day of the innocent of April is just over a week away, and there are possibilities (although thin) that this is an early attempt to prepare a joke that has been seen early.
Assuming that he is genuine, however, he would mark the return of one of the worst games qualified in Metacritic, where he is currently in a qualification of 8 out of 100.
The game was reviewed by Gamespot at that time, and was given a score of 1 in 10, where it was highly criticized for its apparent lack of collision detection, CPU opponents that never leave the exit line and mismanagement.
It also becomes a kind of meme online, thanks to its poorly written celebration screen that declares “You You Winner” every time the player wins a race.
“How bad are the big platforms: in the road races? It is as bad as your mind will allow you to understand,” said Gamespot’s review in 2003. “It is so disturbingly bad that even its budget price label looks like a slap on your face. It really makes you ask you if the company that took this shipwreck even late to half a minute to look at the game that was throwing.
“The game Readme of the game states that the game was thoroughly tested on several PCs, but the final result seems to suggest otherwise. The fact is that, even if you tried, you could not play large platforms: in the road races in the way that it was apparently destined to be played, and even if you could, you did not want.”
