History
18 Wheeler: American Pro Trucker was released exclusively to Japanese arcades in December 1999, the game was later ported to the Sega Dreamcast courtesy of developer CRI and publisher Sega the next year, with eventual PlayStation 2 and Nintendo GameCube ports being released one year after that. The Sega Dreamcast version was planned to include online play[30] , but the feature was ultimately scrapped before release.
In February 2002, Sega AM2 released a spiritual sequel, The King of Route 66 .
