One man. One Bus. Three hundred and sixty miles of simulated post-apocalyptic desert, and the endless struggle between man and nature personified. Desert Bus. The most realistic verisimilitude reality game ever created by man or beast or man-beast is here at last. So real in action, you’ll think you were really the driver of a bus crossing a Desert. No way out, no way home but the long way - by tow truck. Desert Bus puts you, the player, to the ultimate test of endurance in this mind-numbing blowout experience. There is no other game quite like Desert Bus. Originally conceived by Penn, Teller, and Eddie Gorodetsky, this game was made in support of the annual Desert Bus for Hope charity fundraiser for Child's Play, hosted by the crew from LoadingReadyRun.}

I played the full game with my sister, and it was very accurate to the original. However, there is no fly guts so I’ll have to take a star off, but otherwise the time changing mechanic works pretty well. Is the game worth it? Sort of. It gives you what you pay for, since there’s no ads, but then again it’s Desert Bus. You play it once and then never again. Either way, both ridiculously terrible and sort of great at the same time. Would not play again.

Desert Bus has the whole driving experience captured perfectly. To be fair, my armchair is more comfortable than my car, so Desert Bus is a bit better than actually driving

I just got this after reading about Desert Bus in the New Yorker. The game starts to load but I’m taken to another screen about Gamecenter and it’s new and improved experience or what not. There is nothing I can do to proceed to the actual game. I can’t sign out of Game Center. I can’t press cancel. I can’t sign in or continue . I can’t do anything. It says my iPhone 8 is compatible, but I’m guessing it’s not.

This is a pretty mediocre game, but how do you change the driver’s name? Every time i tap on the unknown text, it just goes straight onto the gameplay. So, I just have to stay with “unknown”!?! F**K!!!

Desert Bus is so notoriously awful that it’s actually awesome. So glad this iconic game was ported to iOS. Pro Tip: hold your finger down on the left side on the screen to go. Took me longer than I’d like to admit to figure that out.

Endless replay-ability. It effectively puts you in the shoes of a bus driver and is the most action packed and exciting game that I have ever played. 10/10. Game of The Century
