In Jalopy, we can quite freely traverse a vast procedurally generated world that doesn’t recreate any particular region of Europe but is quite clearly inspired by the grim image of postcommunist Eastern Europe. Our task is to traverse Eastern European countries and make various “deals of our life” that will allow us to grow rich quickly and become a true king of fledging capitalism. In the game, we sit behind the wheel of the fictional Laika 601 deluxe, modeled after one of the most cult vehicles of the communist period – the famous East German Trabant. The action takes place at the turn of the 80s and 90s of the last century, when many ordinary citizens from the former communist bloc want to take advantage of the opportunities offered by Western European capitalism. Jalopy was published by Excalibur Publishing, known mostly for a wide portfolio of various simulation games, headed by the bestselling SCS Software’s productions (Euro Truck Simulator 2, American Truck Simulator). It was developed by Minskworks, a studio established by Greg Pryjmaczuk, a Belarussian developer who worked on the F1 series between years 20.

Jalopy is a simulation game for PC in which we traverse the world behind the wheel of a fictional car, Laika 601 Deluxe, modeled after the cult Trabant.
