Title
Some people describe this as one of the most notable games that, in it's medium, is the equivalent of a film that's considered to be "so bad it's good".

And in a way, they're right! Because like most films that get referred as that by people (excluding The Room*), it's funny for the first couple of minutes due to the developers screwing up in so many ways that it's almost unbelievable. Then two minutes pass, and after you experience all that it has to "offer", you realize that it really wasn't all that funny in the first place, is just tedious (well, as tedious as something that's as blatantly empty as this is can be), and pretty much requires a third party to make it even kind of humorous after that two-minute mark.

The only reason that doesn't get a 0.5 from me is because driving a truck backwards is legitimately hilarious, but it's incredibly close. Seriously, don't even pirate this one. The laugh that you'd get from driving a truck backwards isn't even worth 1/4 of the bandwidth you'd use.

*I'm using this as an exception because it's genuinely hilarious throughout it's entirety IMO (albeit for obviously unintended reasons)

Title
Bad As An Art Form
Every artistic medium has it's fair share of shit, no better word for it, but every so often we get a piece that transcends badness resulting in "bad as an art form".

Film has Tommy Wiseau's The Room
Music has Corey Feldman's Angelic 2 The Core
Gaming has Sergey Titov's Big Rigs: Over The Road Racing

Don't get it twisted, this game is still an unplayable dumpster fire, but at least we can laugh at it… well for about exactly 1 minute before it gets old.

Title
One could argue that Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing is the ultimate expression of the pain of a life without purpose, but I posit that it represents the truth of the "freedom" of living in our modern white picket fence trophy wife three kids nice lawn society. There isn't even a way to actually "race", so the game has no real objective. Of course, just making it to the finish line is enough for the game to tell you "You're Winner", like how they always tell everyone at school that they're special, they'll succeed. Yet this feeling of success is nothing but a charade, one you only experience if you choose to forgo the freedom of driving anywhere and exploring an endless shapeless void or exploiting the game's quirks to do things like accelerate infinitely backwards. Only by following society's measures of success do you receive the golden trophy and are named the "winner." Big Rigs is a truly a rebuke of American suburbian "freedom"; stray from the beaten path, and you'll find a formless, empty, grey world awaiting. In the end, you're reduced to doing what everyone wants you to do anyway and just going to get the fucking trophy.
