In the new game

Do you like video games? Have you ever wanted to
comprehensively reenact the daily life of a double-decker bus driver in 1985 West Berlin?
Your prayers have finally been answered. Aerosoft's impressive
Omnibus Driving Simulator allows you to take command of the venerable 1980s-vintage MAN SD200 and SD202 double-decker buses (in 20 authentic 1980s advertising liveries) along West Berlin's Omnibus Route 92, complete with an accurate simulation of all four production-runs of the SD200's transmission, drivetrain, climate control, and passenger information systems. If the SD202 doesn't cut it for you, or you want to escape the clutches of West Berlin, there's
a comprehensive map editor and scripting engine at your disposal.
