Development
It was produced by Hoplite Research, a company founded by former playtester Manny Granillo.[2] It is built around the license of the Hooters restaurant chain, featuring both real life and computer-generated images and video footage of its iconic "Hooters Girl" waitresses.
Art assets found in the game's files suggest the PlayStation release was originally also to be titled Free Wheelin' USA with the Hooters license later added on.[1]
