Old Comptuer Game: Trucker Simulation

I’ve been playing the original Oregon Trail a bit lately, and it’s made me nostalgic for another computer game I remember playing. The jist of the game is that you are a trucker and have to make deliveries. I don’t remember the exact mechanics of how you get jobs, but I remember it being a nationwide thing. You have to choose your routs, speeds, and you can even choose mundane stuff like where you sleep or if you wear a seat belt.

What I remember most about the game is that I, like any kid, sped like hell, didn’t wear my seatbelt, and stayed up for a good 30 hours. I don’t remember whether I got pulled over, or if I crashed, but something bad happened. The only other specific I can remember is that if you slept in your truck on the side of the road you were liable to get a ticket. Now, the latest I could have played this game was 5th grade in 1995. Realistically it was probably a year or two before that, so we are talking about at least a pre-1993 game, probably more like pre-1991.

The Dope is the only place I know that will remember this. Don’t let me down Dopers!

I think I remember that game. Played it a few times. Think I got a ticket or two for sleeping on the side of the road, and got in trouble at least once because it took me too long to get from point A to point B.

And I agree, it was pre-1991, DOS-based, with little or no graphics. Wouldn’t have a clue what it was called. Hadn’t thought about it in years. But you aren’t imagining things, it did exist.

Is it “Cross Country Canada” or “Cross Country USA”. I would post links, but dog gone it, the only links describing the games are to download sites.

How about google images:
CCC

Can’t find a good search to get non download site pictures of Cross Country USA, but I think you will figure it out.

Ah yes, that’s the winner! I knew the Dope wouldn’t let me down, thanks a bunch.
