I can't see myself sitting and driving a bus for 8 straight hours, thank you very much. I mean, I know it was all tongue and cheek, but... I can't see ANYONE here doing it, to be honest.

Probably because the old thread was more than one month old and somebody bumped it.

Either way. This thread is more active. The previous one died quickly.

Uhh...I say that if a game's rules and mechanics are unfair and/or too restrictive, you should cheat. You know...like civil disobedience.

Same. Oh, and it would be easy to set up the computer so it goes automatically, right down to correcting the right turn oddity. Or better yet, use a program like tsearch to change the "distance travelled" meter so you're right at Vegas, or the speedometer so you're travelling at a ridiculous speed. I did it with Oregon Trail once. And Desert Bus hacking would be awesome.

Just think of the potential for speed runs.

I'm intrigued. One day, I will play it. And beat it.

Yes, it's true, the guy at the end was hard. (hint hint wink wink nudge nudge)

Not if you use the secret code.

This would've been better had it been "Priscilla, Queen of the Desert"

Realistic? At least improve the graphics or something. That's the biggest time waster ever. 8 freakin' hours of monotony!!! Hooray Desert Bus! I hate you!

What would REALLY suck is if they didn't give it a pause button...

Ya know, Acmlm's should start a desert bus hacking forum... I can see the usless-nes of the threads that would be started: I just hacked the bug animations! There are now 255 in the game!

This game would probably kill my love of video games singlehandedly if I played it long enough

YD already mentioned it awhile back.

Still.

The concept of the game is revolutionary in itself.

That sounds like an awesome game, mind you Terry Pratchett had the idea WAY before this, in the book "only you can Save Mankind" about a trip to Alpha Centauri which would take 2 years or something and when you got there you'd see a dot and a message which would say "Welcome! Now go home!"

Hmm, I think us Acmlmers would have won the Desert Bus prize hands down.

But Trasher. This time we actually changed the name of the board.

We may as well just replace the title banner with a field for inputting anything that comes to mind.

My mom would've loved this game. According to her, everyone in the world (except me, of course, since I'm crazy) want their games as realistic as possible, and that NHL Hitz is the worst idea for a game anyone could possibly come up with.
