Desert Bus
Desert Bus is a bus simulation game where the player drives a desert bus
from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada in real time at a maximum speed of
45mph. The game takes eight hours of continuous gameplay to reach the
destination, so it is largely an exercise in persistence. Controls consist
only of acceleration, steering and a horn. The bus always veers slightly to
the right, so constant readjustment of the steering is required. When the
destination is reached, the player receives one point and can opt to drive
back. This cycle can repeated up to 99 points. It has a day and night cycle
and there are small events, such as a bug splat on the window after a certain
amount of time and the ability to close and open doors at a bus stop. When
veering off the road, the bus will break down and is towed back to Tuckson,
also in real time.
