Truck Games
Children Love Playing with Trucks!
Children have been fascinating by trucks for generations. That’s why GamePix has collected the best truck games available online and put them all in one place, for anyone who has ever wanted to jump into the front seat of a an 18-wheeler, reverse a dump truck around a construction site or ride a monster truck along a dirt track! They are fun to color, to draw and to ride on in playgrounds and at fairgrounds.
Playing with toy trucks is a form of entertainment that goes back a hundred years, when children would play with wooden trucks in a world before video games. Lots of children grow up wanting to be a truck driver when they are older. Waving at truck drivers, or seeing a truck outside your house is always a moment that gives huge excitement to children. For some, it’s a love that stays with you your whole life. It is partly the size and shape that make trucks so appealing. Another reason children love trucks is the noise they make! Their horns can be heard from miles away, and the roar and growl of their engines make them seem more like wild animals than machines. The honk of a truck can be exhilarating, no matter what your age!
Truck Games Aren’t Just for Children
With monster trucks, racing games and online driving simulators, truck games are loved by people of all ages. Driving an oversized vehicle is much more adventurous and dangerous than driving a car. There is huge excitement about seeing something so rare and unwieldy being controlled by one person in the driving seat. It’s a dangerous profession, so maybe video games are the safest option to live your trucking fantasies!
The History of Driving Games
One of the first online driving games was RAC Rally, released on the PC in 1996. It was exciting for gamers to be able to race against real life people on the internet. This opportunity had never even been conceivable before. Since then, driving games and truck games have been constantly evolving as video games, especially for people wanting an interactive experience. With the rise of Flash technology, game developers started to introduce flash-based truck games, where the emphasis wasn’t on fast cars or Formula One racing, but on old-fashioned trucks, where players completed challenges rather than focussing on speed and races.
In recent years, online truck games have become more sophisticated and more realistic with better graphics. Truck simulators took off in a way that very few people would ever have predicted, allowing people to have a genuinely authentic experience of what it is like to drive a truck. It’s a format that shows no sign of slowing down, with games like Truck Simulator USA offering a wide range of realistic trucks to drive in real time, with authentic landscapes, giving people the opportunity to answer the question that so many people have had since they were young: What is it like to drive one of those gigantic trucks?
