I'm currently trying to get to run this Russian truck racing/simulation game, Hard Truck: Road to Victory. It's been released in 1998, was initially designed for DirectX 5, and despite some reports from around the web of people getting it to run on Win7 x64 systems, has been a terrible chore so far.

Edit: To anyone who wants to get the software version of this game to run in VMware, you'll have to go to your VM's hardware settings, and in the Processors section activate the checkbox Disable acceleration for binary translation. You can turn this on and off even while the VM is running. Only windowed mode will work, I haven't yet figured out how to get fullscreen to work. The game complains that the video mode isn't supported; forcing 16-bit mode didn't help.
dgvoodoo is a program that i've been experimenting with a lot to resolve issues with older games. i decided to use it for hard truck: road to victory and did some serious testing with certain options to see where they lead me.
using the 3dfx voodoo wrapper that comes with the program allows me to load up the game and access the main base area, but i couldn't load any other maps; the game gave me memory related errors like the ones you're getting. i had a hunch to look at the truck.ini that sits in the main directory, and one variable in there caught my eye and had me thinking - eff. eff, by default, is defined with a value of 1023. this was a shot in the dark, but i edited the memory value that sets in the 3dfx options for dgvoodoo to match eff's value. lo and behold, i can successfully load other maps, though the game tends to crash with the hardware renderer randomly still; i think that's because softlab-nsk didn't really perfect it.
another important step is to change the compatibility mode of htruck.exe to windows nt 4.0, and to never play with 7 other truck ai's; the game seems to crap itself if there's two of the same trucks on the same map and doesn't know how to handle it
The 2000 sequel to Hard Truck. Like its predecessor, it is open world, but grants far more freedom with a larger world that only requires one loading screen per play session, while shifting focus from racing to cargo transport across various cities (although competition with rival truckers is still present). It also adds traffic, police and mafia, and trucks can fall under attack if drivers do not practice safe driving or are spotted by mafia. Making money with successful deliveries is crucial to gameplay, as running out of funds would result in a game over, and the ultimate goal of the game is to achieve dominance of the trucking market (with at least a 51% stake), but not before gaining enough money to start a company first.
The sequel incorporates the same truck brands from the first game, while also including Volvo, Scania AB and Mercedes-Benz Actros. Cars that can be encountered in gameplay include the BMW M5, the Renault Megane, the Fiat Marea, the Offroad HL/PS, the Oka and the Volga.
Hard Truck Apocalypse, released on June 26, 2006, is another spin-off of Hard Truck, but its connection to the themes of Hard Truck is remotely in name only. Developed by the Russian developer Targem Games, Apocalypse is a completely different take on the hard truck games, set in an apocalyptic, Mad Max-like future. A disaster occurred and everyone on Earth has to wear special masks to survive. Trade runs between villages to make money can still be done but the main method for making money is to loot destroyed enemies of cargo and weapons.
King of the Road is an improved version of Hard Truck 2. The game simulates the life of long-haul truckers, delivering merchandise over large territory. You race other truckers and have to keep supply and demand in mind. There are different weather circumstances, and from time to time, you are invited to circuit races where you can earn a license to hire other truckers and start a company. Cash is used to upgrade your vehicle, acquire a new one, or to pay other drivers' salaries. The first company to own a 51% share in the delivery market, wins.While driving, you have to keep track of...
