Big Mutha Truckers is a game developed by Eutechnyx Limited and published by Empire Interactive Entertainment in 2002. The game, also available for the Xbox gaming console, the Game Boy handheld as well as for the PC, is classified as an action driving title and is played from a first person perspective. We also have to mention that it's the first game in the series.
You begin the game as one of Ma Jackson's four kids. Ma is rather old and there's talk about it affecting the business so, naturally, it's one of her four kids who must step into her shoes - a contest is organized to decide which one is the best suited for the job. As a kid, you need to make money for 60 days by trucking around in order to get your hands on the business.
The entire game takes place in Hick State County and the five big cities in the area. The key to making money is to get commodities from one city and take them where they are needed and where, consequently, people are ready to pay a good price for them. Some of the jobs that you can take on are illegal so you shouldn't be surprised if the police suddenly find you quite an interesting character.
There are other drivers that have the same aims, which is why causing chaos from behind the wheel of a big truck while hauling merchandise is always fun. And, in completely physics-bending fashion, you get to race the huge trucks available on some of the curviest and narrowest roads in video gaming and racing history.
GAMEPLAY HINTS
Easy money
To get more money after enabling the "$10 million" code, whenever you go to the bars play the slot machines on the left. They always pay off.
When you go to the garage to trade trailers, buy a trailer extension so you can haul more products and make more money.
Unlock the "Max Fruit" cheat and enable it. Visit the bars (especially Greenback) for a $750,000 All Bars payoff.
Save money
When you get to destination, sell the goods but do not buy any more until after you have been to the garage. When you enter the garage, exchange trailers and the new trailer will have no damage. If you want to get your old trailer back again, just change again and the damage will be gone.
