There is no commercial drivers license required for this game, but keyboard driving skills are an asset. In American Truck you are the driver of a semi-trailer truck, and in each level your goal is to get from your original location to an indicated parking spot. Do this within the time limit, and watch out for pedestrians and other vehicles. If you hit another vehicle, you lose a life and are sent back to your starting location. If you lose three lives or run out of time, you lose the level, and if you hit a person, points are deducted from your score for the level. How many levels can you steer through in this 18-wheeler?
