    Desert Bus was released as a protest game. In the 90s video games were demonized for being nothing more than violence simulators. Penn & Teller took that as a challenge and had some developers make the most non-violent game they could think of.

    It was made as a novelty. The people who made it knew it was boring, that’s the joke. The main group that still actually plays it is a charity group who suffers through it while getting donations for Child’s Play charity.

      Vinesauce Joel’s playthrough of it is also very iconic

        Joel also has a real-time flight from Sweden to Brazil in Flight Simulator that’s very entertaining despite being several hours long.
