* ColbertBump: No one would've even learned about this game's existence if not for [=GameSpot=] discovering it ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DLFWO_Cmrl8 Jeff Gertsmann said]] it was one of the games the site's crew found at Walmart seeking material for reviewer Alex Navarro) and subsequently giving their lowest score ever (only matched thrice ever since!) while also providing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mB1zWEhgrLs an amusing video review]].

* OneHitWonder: Stellar Stone made no fewer than ''eight'' games, including two more racing games (one before and one after this one). They also made two civil war themed RTS games, a pinball game, and a puzzle game. Despite all of this, ''Big Rigs'' was the only one to get any notoriety, and it's practically impossible to find anyone who is aware of this.

* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: The [[http://mortarandpistol.files.wordpress.com/2011/12/919220_49160_back.jpg back cover]] claims the game involves "4 BIG RIG trucks with trailers" which seems like an oddly redundant thing to say; one would think the presence of a trailer would be implied by the phrase "BIG RIG."
