Hi pcwzrd13, just to let you know $115k is mathematically impossible without cheating. The best I managed in the arcade was $103k and the best score I ever saw was $105k. Dreamcast arcade mode should be identicial to the coin-op.

PS Avoid using the Japanese driver Nihonmaru.

Only have this game on the Gamecube...cost me £1!

Looks like you're right! I thought you could if you beat the rival every time and picked the largest loads but nope. Thanks for pointing that out! I'll go ahead and edit the achievements.

Yay, a new game contest. Never played 18 Wheeler, but burned the game moments ago and I'm getting the hang of it now. Will see what comes out of it :wink:

EDIT: So, after some continues and practice, here's my first try:

Cool game and easy to get into, I've played similar games in the past.

I noticed that, but no problem :wink:

The Parking mode is quite fun.
