18 Wheeler was yet another Sega arcade title that took a completely unexpected and boring sounding concept and turned it into something that was always a blast to play. With how cheap it is, there's no excuse for Sega coin-op fans to not try this one out!
I'll hunt it down as quick as I can when I get the chance. Sega's 'cade offering as a 'rig driver makes mincemeat outta these two (one of which I already mentioned in my comment above)... th-cam.com/video/qiy1evmz0LI/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/mB1zWEhgrLs/w-d-xo.html
i remember playing this game back in the day. and my dream was that one day to have an actual trucker game. where traveling from a city to a city would've take hours. now we have american truck simulator and that dream came true.
This arcade games brings back so many memories from my childhood. As luck would have, I found it in an arcade one day, and as an adult, it’s still funny crashing into other vehicles!
I was quite poor growing up. My mom saved up for a long time, every paycheck she could to buy me and my brother a gamecube with this game when my father went off to prison. This was mindblowing at the time for me, it truthfully started my love affair with video games. It randomly crossed my mind so I searched it and found your video. Thanks for the nostalgia Stranger.

Ha-ha. This game looks like a bonafide classic as a trucking title, especially as a Sega arcade game.

If I ever get an actual arcade game, I want the deluxe version of 18-Wheeler American Pro Trucker. Honking that horn was so much fun in the arcades back in the day, it was worth the dollar every time.

I was play gta5 doing a mission in a 18 wheeler and I just kept saying “18 WHEELER” it made me have a flashback to when me and my dad used to go to this arcade in ny and the game has a actual truck large wheels steering wheel mirrors and seats thanks for this memory
I have this game for my GameCube, too! I beat the game with all five trucks on all difficulties and got the high score/time on every score attack/parking level. Supposedly you can unlock Lizard Tail, but I don't think it's possible.
This version & PS2 has the World Trade Center Twin Towers that appear at the 1st level omitted due to the towers destruction on the 9/11 attacks, but the arcade version has the World Trade Center Twin Towers appear at the 1st level.
Another difference between the arcade & console versions is that the console versions have a Grand Canyon billboard on the left side of the screen at 1:24, while the arcade version has a Holiday Inn billboard on the left side of the screen.
I remember playing this game back in the day in the arcades and my game cube Nintendo man those were the days 😢 miss my childhood games. Now I actually drive real 18 wheelers for a living 😊 has always been my life dream and career choice since I was a kid.
If I didn't have so many crappy responsibilities in life, I'd track down a copy and toss it in my Wii for an hour or two. Looks like a blast. I remember it in the arcades but never gave it a chance.
Super easy now if you just download a dolphin emulator on your phone and search a rom of this game for gc. Then voila playing it on your phone to fill your nostalgia needs
There's danger out on the nation's road They're paved with snakes and flattened toads Truckers drive in rigs so big They can flatten a cow or a horse or a manatee And those who survive were a lucky few But there's one brave cat who made it through And I'm here to tell the tale to you....... Of Sailcat.
The only problem I have with this game is, no matter how well you drive your truck your opponent NEVER falls behind completely. It's a cheat and ruins the experience IMHO.
God I remember playing this game on GC as a kid! I never got past the second level but I had fun playing the time attack mode. I never knew this was an Arcade game until years later.
Hopefully they do a remake with no background popups, if it didn't have them it would of looked as good as a Sega model 3 game for sure, when i look at this game i always think they starting building a really nice looking game typical Sega genius but then got slack at the later stages of development, i don't know maybe Sega needed to give the makers a longer time frame to complete it.
I played this game many many times in a local Acrade in early 2000. Not sure if anyone know the secret: after every stage completed, on the screen that the points are being counted....if you press the gas pedal at the right time, it will give a boost to the points. I can complete the game with over 100k points😏
My brother had a burnt copy of this for the dreamcast back in the early 2000s, i played it all the time , trying to figure out if you Could unlock lizard tail, years later i got it on ps2...man time flys...
oh yeah as boring as it to quickly beat this game it did however feature challenging parking minigames where you collect the green balls and you had to park your vehicle however while avoiding driving off the side of the roads like the mountains
This game is my childhood...Every sound I remember so clearly and vividly
Same here man
This was the game that got me into trucks.

I remember playing this game on a big machine at my then local movie theatre. Bench, Steering Wheel, Shifter and all.
I was play gta5 doing a mission in a 18 wheeler and I just kept saying “18 WHEELER” it made me have a flashback to when me and my dad used to go to this arcade in ny and the game has a actual truck large wheels steering wheel mirrors and seats thanks for this memory
I would spend all of my $20 for the arcade just one this one game. This game and the Hard Truck series are what inspired me to become a truck driver.
Cult Classic! One of my favorite Trucking games along with the PC simulators Hard Truck: 18-Wheels of Steel
Wow brings back memories
Oh man, I remember having a blast with this in the arcade!
I need to take my kid to the arcade
I miss the days when you can grab any game off the shelf and have one helluva day or evening
I remember when I first played this game in the arcade. I had to get it so I end up buying it for the consul.
Looks a Hell of a lot better than that crappy Rebel Trucker game for PC, especially considering that this title is a port of a Sega arcade game.
I played as a teenager. I liked a lot. I stil having it on Dreamcast.
this game was what big rigs wanted to be.
I have this game for my GameCube, too! I beat the game with all five trucks on all difficulties and got the high score/time on every score attack/parking level. Supposedly you can unlock Lizard Tail, but I don't think it's possible.

That's cuz the arcade and Dreamcast versions came out before 9/11 happened
never heard about it, looks fun!!
This game needs a remaster for the new gen consoles lol it would be awesome!!
I would pay 40$ for this
Ya honestly with things like Vr and actual steering wheel controls setup it should get one!
It seems any game Yu Suzuki has a hand in (producer in this case) it's unique and awesome.
Men I probably buy a gamecube to play all this games again 💜
I did. :-)
I’m crying 😭 me and my mom played this when I was 3 that was about 9 years ago
Also I was on the road with my dad and I found this game in an arcade crazy am I right
This looks too fun!!

I still don't understand why they changed all the voices in this game.
Another difference between the arcade & console versions is that the console versions have a Grand Canyon billboard on the left side of the screen at 1:24, while the arcade version has a Holiday Inn billboard on the left side of the screen.
