Hi Mark, Sorry that version 2 of Life doesn't work for you. Unfortunately I did not include a batch file to delete it. You could use the add slash remove programs, but that would delete the game menu and try to remove the entire kitchensinc folder. So what you want to do is to delete all of

Hi Bean, Yeah, and you know if I had written the original game I would definitely think very hard about making the changes suggested. They do sound good. I just kind of don't want to change the original game since it has been so popular and truthfully it is much harder to figure out and chang

Hi Mark and Bean, I did not write the original trucker game. It was written by Hughes Glantzberg in 1985. There was also a version done by Bill Pogue named Big Rig that was very popular with blind gamers. All I have done is to take the source code and add sounds. And then later convert it t

Hey Jim, I agree with this suggestion from Mark about your Trucker game, it would add alot of replay value, have a set amount that the truck cost, and see if you could get the truck paid off by making hauls. Also, I would like the option of driving back to California after dropping ff the load.

Hi Nicol, Randomly the refrigeration unit will fail and need to be repaired. That is just one of the random bad things that can happen during a trucker trip. Your truck needs to be running for the refrigeration unit to be running, so if you run out of gas and your truck stops running so does t
