This game actually is a part 2 of its series, it's original name being "Дальнобойщики 2". There is also "Дальнобойщики 3" (known as "Rig'n'Roll" globally), but the game went through a production hell and, despite being more technically advanced than the predecessor, it fails to recapture its fun (it's still can be kinda enjoyable, just really disappointing, considering what it could've been).
@@evilbabai7083 ikr I played rig n roll but it was so flat and nothing like king of the road. Its so disappointing to say that there are such huge franchises like ETS but they're unable to understand what we want.
@@johndoe-fr2wd yeah, that's a valid RnR criticism, but I tend to disagree about ETS/ATS - in fact, they do understand their target audience well, but it's just not us. Those, as names imply, are simulators, while HT2:KotR was a game - it has a big emphasis on realistic driving and physics, but it was an arcade racing sandbox in it's core. It was about badass driving against the improbable ods with a fiery soundtrack in a background, rather than actual representation of a hauling routine. Basically, it's the same way Ace Combat series went back in a day - DCS might be better in every way in terms of realism and stuff, but it's just not what AC is about, those games has less in common than meets the eye and their audiences are mostly different.
@@evilbabai7083 same was with PES. Pes 9, 10, 11,12 and 13 were insane but then they introduced new game engine improving graphics and Pes died with that. In my POV Realism killed the whole gaming charisma back then graphics were not that good but those games were killers like Delta force, IGI, stronghold, gta vice city but these days they're all about realism.
I never fully understood how to play this game "properly," but I hauled some loads. Most fun was inviting my friends over and staying up all night doing long haul trucking. Finding secret spots, trying to go offroading. Looking for rare vehicles to drive. I remember sitting in some pretty lonely parking lots waiting for thunderstorms to pass.
The good old times... My first step into trucking games on PC... I started to play it in a Techno-Cafe at age 19, and then loaded it on my first own PC in 2002, and finished it at least 10 times until the 18 Wheels of Steel series released then i bought and played all series.. Now i am 41, and i still play both trucking games of SCS everyday despite of my very limited free time and i guess i will continue playing unless i have a serious health problems or lose my home etc. :D Because i have been always a truck and driving fan since my childhood, so this is an endless passion to enjoy this virtual trucking world for me :)
Çocukluğumun en iyi oyunuydu.Hard Truck 1 de oynadım.ETS bu oyunun yanından geçemez.Keşke seriyi devam ettirdelerdi gerçekten tutardı.Tek yapmaları gereken grafik arttırmaktı.
Now this is the game I cut my teeth on. I first played hard truck 1 in 1999. Then later got this an couldn’t put it down. Such a good game. Still love it.
I remember as a kid turning off the engine when going downhill to save fuel haha, this game is like a romero movie today there may be better effects but in content and storytelling it has not been surpassed 🥂.
What a throwback! I put sooo many hours in on this. Would love to play it again! The version i had, seemed alittle different though. There were ni voices saying "stop the vehicle!". It was all done on a pager. Also, trucks i raced, some where little box vans that were extremely annoying because of how much faster they were. Its was just, "Hard Truck 2." The box didnt say anything about king of the road.
That was not for red light fine, that was for your heroine load :D There were some illegal loads in the job market which are offered to test your driving skills, and if you were recognized by the cops, they were chasing and shooting you until the delivery point, unless you crashed or your truck was broke down :D
best start was first job from south gate to sandy ranch. at the repair shop before westwood upgrade engine, oil filter and extra tank and you were good to go for the beginning
I remember losing all of my money in this game every time I stopped at a service station because the game defaulted to paying for every single optional upgrade, and I couldn't figure out how to make it stop (I was quite young).
The game is considered completed when the market share is 50%. But after that, you can continue to play and the gameplay becomes a little more diverse) "in the mines by Grey Stone" - road GreyStone - Foothill. You can also afford to pause and enter the code "slmaps" and you will receive an open maps of the game.

Can someone please do a remaster of this game ??😫 Rig n roll was such a disappointment. I just want this very game remastered in unreal engine with modern textures. That would be so awesome
Man oh man, nostalgia is strong, such a simple game yet so many layers!
This game was too advanced for its time
This is the very first game I ever played in my life, cant belive i remembered it
me too!
Me too lol
Me too. King of the Road, Caesar 3 and Empire Earth 1 was my holy trinity 😂 I still play them every once in a while
Me too it was super
Amazing game. At first glance it looks like an old truck driving sim, but my goodness, does this game have so much charm and crazy ridiculousness!
I have played ETS2 but the fun and excitement I had in this game was unmatchable, I wish there was a part 2 of this game

I need this game to be remastered. Too realistic for me back then. 😢
You should play Snow runner game very beautiful and top game
download the SE mod
I've just realised the cabin was a plain texture, yet back then it looked so real. The mood of this game along with the music was amazing
I spent hours and days in 2008 playing this game.
Now this is the game I cut my teeth on. I first played hard truck 1 in 1999. Then later got this an couldn’t put it down. Such a good game. Still love it.
Finally I found it, I thought this game was just a fever dream
This is the best game ever even till now! The brain behind of this game is amazing for its time.

In the USA it was released under the names Hard Truck 2 (beta version 5.5) and King Of The Road (version 1.3 based on the Russian version 8.1)
I wish to play remake or remaster of this game
The game had a strange sense of loneliness.
Ah the good old Hard Truck 2, where they shoot your vehicle down for a 750 dollar red light fine.
That was not for red light fine, that was for your heroine load :D There were some illegal loads in the job market which are offered to test your driving skills, and if you were recognized by the cops, they were chasing and shooting you until the delivery point, unless you crashed or your truck was broke down :D
Thank you for this playtrough my man. You play it just like i did back in the day! Such a nostalgia!
This game used to scare the living shit out of me 😂 I used to go find the lil mail truck and go to the truck race
now i am playing snow runner but with music (soundtrack) from hard truck 2 in background.
you should all try it :3
edit: thanks for great video!
I remembered I played this game day and night what a flash of memories❤❤❤❤
best start was first job from south gate to sandy ranch. at the repair shop before westwood upgrade engine, oil filter and extra tank and you were good to go for the beginning
KotR had the possibility to do 2 jobs at the same time. So for example picking up the 2 right containers for grey stone just gave you easily 65.000 €
I remember losing all of my money in this game every time I stopped at a service station because the game defaulted to paying for every single optional upgrade, and I couldn't figure out how to make it stop (I was quite young).
This game is special its about my childhood ❤
If you don’t mind me asking, what’s the set-up here? Your fps is perfect. Mine has issues rendering open spots in map hence be lagging.
Characteristics of the PC in the description of the channel. This game works well even on old 1 core processors
Hardtruck2isthebest (for those who know) but one thing I never understood is why did they shoot you trying to go down that one long stretch road?
i never heard of this game... but it hold up amazingly
Wish you didn't mute the music sound , thanks for the video

I remember using the turbo boost cheats and trying to ram the police helicopter near the hill
