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

So you just drive straight for 8 hours?  No turns or anything?  What is this a test of patience?

It's meant to be funny. "ha ha -- We took your money, now here, play this joke, sucker!"

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..   

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. 

Even if the game is just 52 hours of driving straight....that's the joke, get it?  Their high level ironic humor is sometimes beyond everyone else, that's why smoke and mirrors never really went anywhere.
