Desert Bus for Hope
November 22, 2007 4:51 PM   RSS feed for this thread Subscribe

Desert Bus for hopeis a fund raiser for Penny Arcade's Child's-Play charity put on by some insane video game loving acquaintances of mine. Desert Bus is a mini game released on the completed but unpublished Sega CD's Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors wiki. The game simulates in real time the 8 hour drive from Tuscon to Las Vegas in an empty bus with a slight pull to the right on a featureless highway. You can't pause, go over the speed limit or pullover or a tow truck will take you to the starting line (also in real time). It looks something like this youtube link. Wish them luck!

The desert bus is in severe need of a front end alignment.

Seems like a cool project, but in regards to this line :

"put on by some insane video game loving acquaintances of mine"

I'd be willing to start a second fund for the guy who crosses the speed limit seven and a half hours into the event.

Anyone else ever wish Penn was the silent one of the two?

What happens if you exceed the speed limit?
