The game features a selection of trucks to choose from, with hidden options unlocked by manipulating the view buttons during the truck selection screen. Off Road Challenge marked the first installment in a series that would later include Off Road Thunder. A version was also released for the Nintendo 64 console in both North America and Europe.
