Desert bus is probably one of the best games ever. Unfortunately the game was never released, until now. 11 years after the planned release date Waxy is hosting a torrent for this mythical game. The game is part of a long-lost Penn and Teller videogame.

The goal of the game is pretty straightforward. You have to drive a Bus through the desert from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas. The hard part is that the whole trip is in real-time, so it takes 8 hours at least. And it gets even better:

    There is no scenery or even other cars on the road, just plain desert, for 8 hours. Oh, and your bus veers to the right just slightly, so it

I played this game to the end.  and believe me  the end  worth  your patience!. It is fantastic , i could not imagine something like that.  You arrive to Vegas , and ..that's vegas...  But this game is really really for Adult Only.  That's even a little bit to "hot" for me..   :o

Very interresting concept!

 ;)

Thank you for posting this, vibes. I would have missed it otherwise. Great download, interesting history and fun CD. Can't wait to get it on the cab and have fun with friends.

I would like to point out that ANYTHING Penn & Teller are even remotely involved with is frikkin awesome.
