History WMG / BigRigsOverTheRoadRacing

[[WMG: It's all [[Spoiler: [[WreckItRalph Turbo's]]]] fault]]
This game was originally meant for arcades, [[Spoiler: but he snook in and took over before the game was even finished.]] The game devs discovered this, thinking [[Spoiler: that he was a virus,]] and got rid of him. The game's code was severely damaged in the process and the deadline was later that day, so they cut up the code. The arcade version was produced, but literally no one bought it, and they were all destroyed. [[Spoiler: Turbo managed to get back to Game Central Station.]]

* [[DidNotDoTheResearch Wrong.]] This game came out in 2003. ''VideoGame/IWannaBeTheGuy'' came out in [[NewerThanTheyThink 2007]]. That's a four year difference!

* Alternatively, it was made by [[MysteryScienceTheater3000 Doctor Forrester]], when the movies didn't work.

Unlike in [[TheProducers the Producers]] where a flop attempted for economic reasons, the company saw that their actual racing game was going to suck, so they engineered this as an intentional cult piece. They knew that releasing something so obviously unfinished would draw a lot of attention, so they were banking on said attention earning them some sales in hopes that it would make them some money back on their coming flop.

[[WMG: The trucks have a primitive version of the [[BackToTheFuture Flux Capacitor]] That only works at extreme speeds going backwards.]]

** No, it was ''mindbreaking''. The [[SanitySlippage cracks from the mental strain]] were [[MindRape so severe]] they went in [[BeyondTheImpossible both directions]], causing trauma to occur both before ''and'' after the traumatizing play attempts. In other words, IWBTG is not merely an [[NintendoHard excruciatingly hard game]] but an EldritchAbomination in the form of a video game.

The World of Big Rigs used to be a world of real competent racing, until Decade visited it. His presence caused the world's physics and [[BeyondTheImpossible LOGIC to twist in order to reject Decade]] rather than merely twisting his photos. It's a world without a Kamen Rider, and it's purity was severely affected when Decade got there. Hence... Crazy Physics, no collision detection and [[AWinnerIsYou You're Winner]].

[[WMG: The developers of the game came up with it as a result of being driven mad by playing too much IWannaBeTheGuy]]

* A person was making the game, made it as it is now, and said "That's enough for one day" and left. Someone else came in, mistook it for a finished game, and published him.

[[WMG: The game's glitches are totaly intentional.]]

[[WMG: You become a TimeLord™ if you go backwards.]]
Obviously, since FasterThanLightTravel is how you travel through time. This means that all the big rigs are [=TARDISes=].

It's not a computer game. It's a PC-compatible insanity-inducing weapon built by Dr. Eggman, so he could torture us into surrenduring the world to him. And I think his plan is working.

[[WMG: The game is really an artistic game with a deep meaning.]]

They knew that releasing something so obviously unfinished would draw a lot of attention, so they were banking on said attention earning them some sales in hopes that it would make them some money back on their coming flop. This thing falls somewhere between the realms of SoBadItsGood and SoBadItsHorrible depending on who you are, and yet still sold at least 20,000 copies. Whether the profits on that were enough to recoup the losses incurred with their actual racing game, or if this even managed to turn an overall profit for them is unknown, but they were successful in creating a memorable product at the very least.

Obviously, the mental strain caused by trying to win out a [[EverythingTryingToKillYou hellishly]] [[NintendoHard difficult]] game burnt out their minds, causing them to rebel against the idea of actually working to win video games. So they designed a game that could be won with no effort whatsoever.

By knowing it doesn't exist, the player's truck is capable of defying physics, such as infinite acceleration, going through buildings, and keeping enemies magically frozen.

You see, the whole game is a giant metaphor, showing how life is unfair and broken, and that we should keep on trucking anyways. The empty promises that the game made? Meant to represent how life is full of disappointments that we must make the best out of (E.G. Hilarious footage). The infinite reverse speed and the abrupt stop? It represents how, no matter how much we rush through things, one single mistake (lifting your finger in this case) can force you to start all over again, at zero. The opponent? Meant to represent you, and how no matter how hard you try, you will always feel as though you didn't quite reach your goals. The glitches in the game were intentional, and not glitches, but a deep metaphor.
