enjoy the thrills and spills of driving for 5 hours on a motorway, followed by reversing round a corner.

What amazes me isn't only that someone actually had the nerve to create a game based around street cleaning, but they've actually spent the time and effort (and money!) to make the visuals pretty good!

I wonder which demographic this is aimed at then? Surely the 8-16 year olds..

Perhaps it's to be used as a training tool for recent graduates? wink

They arent cheap either, but as there are lots of 2011 relelases there must be a sufficient market.

Me and my brother used to have one called King of the Road. Must get it out again. You could upgrade your lorry, hire extra drivers and even buy an M5!
The M5 would flip over if you went round any kind of corner at speed but it was still a good game.

What was the truck game on Dreamcast called? I'm sure it was an arcade port, that was loads of fun.

The GF's little brother is mad on these games. He's 11 and regularly sits at the computer with his hi vis jacket on, hard hat on, and farms, constructs roads, cleans roads, drives lorries, constructs buildings, drives diggers etc...

Bless 'im.

The problem is, these things are linked into the real-world transport network. This 11-year-old thinks he's playing a game, when actually everything he does is translated into instructions for the various government agencies who are carrying out these tasks.

Tell him to think very carefully next time he sets up some roadworks, and then just leaves that game alone for a few weeks.

To be honest I'd probably be happy to spend a few hours playing those game too, and I'm 27!
