Desert Bus (Sega CD) - Angry Video Game Nerd (AVGN)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 27 май 2014
- In this episode the Nerd takes a look at Desert Bus and Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Redaction! Desert Bus was a mini game that was included on Penn & Teller's Smoke and Mirrors (and unreleased game planned for the Sega CD). It was developed by Imagineering and published by Absolute Entertainment. Absolute went out of business so the game was never released but the Nerd was able to obtain a copy to torture himself with! In Desert Bus, you drive a bus from Arizona to Las Vegas in real time. It's considered one of the worst games ever made, making it ripe for a review by the Nerd!
Then the Nerd takes a look at Castlevania II: Simon's Quest Redacted - a hack that improves upon the flaws in the original NES game.
This is Angry Videogame Nerd episode 119.

As someone who has made this drive in real life I can confirm this is exactly what it is like.
but wrong because there are cars irl
“Just like the simulations.”
@@annieantichrist5987 so even worse
In real life, there are other cars, the decor may change a bit from time to time, you can listen to the radio or an iPod, you can talk to passengers if there are any, etc.
So if you stop to pee you are immediately hauled all the way back?
This is the biggest troll game in history.
Dark Jedi But Hong Kong 97 is bigger.
PrekiFromPoland or Darkwing Duck
Brandon Johnson Nah, I don't think so. It is just a game that happened to be bad. But Desert Bus or HK97 are troll games in all respects.
you are totally correct i agree with you 100%
Dark Jedi Nope.
There's Seamen, Big Rigs, Plumbers Don't Wear Ties, Hong Kong 97, etc.
Nerd not drinking his beer because he's driving is a very nice touch.
😄😄😄
@shakerhuhThethugshakerMoron
Besides, drinking beer will make you want to take a leak later on.
"Does your life have a pause control?"
No, but my car sure as fuck does, it's called a brake.
then the bus would be off schedule
@@mouthwide0pen No one isnt even on the bus so your fine.
@@mouthwide0pen >implying they're ever ON schedule
@@misa8286 its actually even illegal to work that many hours without breaks
You can always pull over for whatever reason so it does.
Fun fact: they remade the game in VR.
@Sailor Sedna it's on steam
@Sailor Sedna Joel from Vinesauce/Vargskelethor is streaming the game right now on twitch
but the wrecker is still sadistic.
the best parts of it are the multiplayer where you can join a persons bus and the radio playing a documentary on its creation
That would be sicking and unusual punishment to go through...
Todd Rogers got the highest score in Desert Bus by starting the bus in second gear.
Second gear?! theres a second gear?
Excuse me, what the fuck
Lolll
Only he gets the human element.
But Billy Mitchell sent in a tape to prove he had beaten Todd Rogers score!!!
Desert Bus for Hope still continues. In the 2019 run they raised $865,015.00. They marathon this game for roughly a week each year. Props to AVGN for calling them out in here.
Well shit good on them, they got my respect.
Calling them out? Or shouting them out?
Do they stream it?
Yep! They also made their own desert bus game that’s in vr! It’s also multiplayer, so your friends can be passengers in the bus!
For their 2020 virtual run (couldn't get together because of covid), they raised over a million dollars.
Fun fact: Someone remade the game as a map in Garry’s Mod.
someone also made a halo mod called desert hog
The owl man 400 and they made a v2 with all sorts of different hogs
Someone also did it for Mario Kart Wii.
Also there is a team fortress two one as well
Also gearbox software remade it in vr. Yes that gearbox software.
Man, time really flies. It makes me happy to see new AVGN videos still going strong!
well if it isn't pbg!
PeanutButterGamer yes!! agreed ur awsome pbg
We can all agree buddy
Ouch lol
Hi
I didn't cry in the Lion king. I didn't cry when Ol' Yeller died. I neary cried when he said he was going to retire.
GrapplingIgnorance You really have both sensitive and tough times when crying. Not at retirement?
GrapplingIgnorance I didn't because this is an old video and he made more
Unlike you, Miles still the old one, some of us watched this the week it came out because we weren't born yesterday.
You sound like a child with that comment.
U misspelled nearly
The fact that he chooses not to drink because he's driving is actually a nice touch.
To all bus drivers out there, God bless your soul
Depending on the routes I take, and who I have on my bus, I wouldn’t mind being a bus driver
Travelings awesome
@@Jerry_Freestyle Travelling is exhausting
Dude imagine truck drivers
@@Jerry_Freestyle Better have AC silly, you don't wanna be glued to the seat.
@@Jerry_Freestyle Well more power to you cause I hate traveling. I do not travel well at all.
Penn and Teller are magicians...they magically wizzed away your day.
Wow, you watch avgn.
Hai love your vids
Hey Pan.
Cool
“They made your time disappear!” I mean come on, how do you miss a joke so obvious!?!?
Speed strats:
- Pressing left in the correct 2 frame window increases the bus's speed to 46 mph for 0.3 seconds.
- Double tapping the accelerator while pressing right in the correct 1 frame window will despawn the next rock on the side of the road which prevents lag. This is called "rock skipping"
- Watch out for the invisible kaizo block at mile #267
Matt Tate the what block
@TheOcelot 11 A Kaizo block is the name of invisible blocks in super mario romhacks. Ones that only appear when you jump up and hit them. Its a mario romhack/speedrunner term.
Matt Tate thanks
But remember, you also need to watch out for the Train Crossing at mile #64!
In case if you still don't know: it's a speedrunning joke.
"Does your life have a pause control?"
Does your bladder have a pause control?
Well yes actually, but It can’t pause for long.
@@NewSoupWiiHii Well, you're not wrong, I guess.

@@thecannonball34What makes ya say that
792 hours? You can beat this game faster than you can unlock all of the content in Battlefront II.
The Game Dude Actually, you can just buy everything. For only $792.
@@applescruff1969
You mean $792,000 right?
@@anirudhviswanathan3986 Yup. Thanks for the correction.
@@SenseiSolo Looks like somebody doesn't get sarcasm.
You could beat it 792 times in fact
Fun fact:
There hasn’t been one AVGN video where James doesn’t say “sucks”/“suck”.
Even in Mario 3 where he actually liked the game the possesed game said "your mother sucks cocks"
@@wafflemanofficial3130 And then the Nerd swears, "What the FUCK did you just say?"
“This games sucks” may 2009
Because in the intro of every video he says "Shitty games that *Sucks* ass"
@@hoogis That's not James singing the song...
I guarantee when this initially released someone teared up at the ending thinking he was actually ending the show
I almost broke crying when he did the fakeout in the ljn ep
That may have been me

Jesus Christ! Even a real life 8 hour bus drive is more fun! At least in real life there are other vehicles, turns in the road, and a radio to listen to!
Useless Piece Of Human Flesh Not to mention that you're generally not the one driving the bus and you can take a nap, watch videos and occasionally stop for food and a toilet break.
I'm your 69th like
Don't forget your Game Boy
@@azrael6280 OK, I won't :P
I like real road trips since could see everything like Mountains, The Ocean, Buildings Forests, Etc.
"Do your life have a pause control?"
Yes, it's called stopping and take a break, which you could very much do since you're the _only one_ on the bus! And on a road this long, I guarantee there would be places to stop for exactly that purpose. In real life, the bus would not go that slow, you would have music to listen to. They did not simulate real life, they simulated pain nobody would actually go through irl.
Yep. They should've had one radio station that kicks in when u get reception, cuts out for about a half hour then completely changes to another station with reception as you move along. Honestly if gta did that it would be rewarding
And that'w why German Bus/Truck Simulators are great
@@tarjaau tell that to AVGN
Could you just take your finger off of the accelerator button and just sit there in the road? Same thing, right?
@@mae2759 That's what I would do. I'd also program negative points if you took too many breaks or didn't take enough lol
Penn Teller predicted the future of simulator games
"Does your life have a stop button?"
No, but in real life I have the ability to stop the God damned bus!
Luke Sinclair yeah u can stop the bus in the game
Yeah... Try stopping the bus in the desert when when you have a bunch of passengers who are bored, hungry and have already broken the toilet.
^ But your bus doesn't have passengers
You get TOWED
Luke Sinclair Penn and Teller are assholes
"And real life fuckin sucks!" Truer words have never been spoken.
True dat
Damn straight.
I want to get that tattooed on myself.
But ironically, Desert Bus became popular years later in the form of Euro Truck Simulator.
Except euro truck simulator has content, and gameplay, and really good graphics and sound assets.
I think the funniest part of this game is that someone decided to port it to Mario Kart Wii as a custom track.
And your kart veers right too
9:35
👽 *Where did you learn to drive*
Thank you for not retiring, Nerd. For a brief nanosecond there I got scared.
This comment still has no replies but now it does
@@asdf-oh9ob This statement is fact.
Quintessential criticism
Desert bus tiger handheld. Its a perfect match.
Oh I loved those
What if Dessert bus was on the Magnavox Odyssey
nah, desert bus on virtual boy. The game and console combination that everyone has wanted since the virtual boy was released
Nah, bitch. R Zone.
Does that actually exist?
I just gained an obscene amount of respect for Penn and Teller.
I can’t believe the Avgn series is almost 20 years old
I wouldn't call this worse than Big Rigs personally. The difference is that Desert Bus was intended to be bad, an excuse we can't give to Big Rigs.
Big Rigs is fun to play though
Just because it's intentionally worse doesn't make the fact that it's worse untrue.
Even though Big Rigs is actually MORE of So bad it's good.
What makes Big Rigs superior to Desert Bus is the fact that it's just so enjoyably ridiculous. There are so many glitches that you can take advantage of to give you an hour or less of enjoyment.
Desert Bus is an existential nightmare that punishes you for trying to crack the system. Penn and Teller didn't create a game. They created a form of torture.
Think of it this way. Would you rather want to watch a long, dull movie that was intentionally dull to simulate real life in an office, or would you rather watch Tommy Wiseau's The Room, a movie that ended up being so shit that it turned out to be enjoyable to watch.
THE WHEELS ON THE BUS GO ROUND AND ROUND *for 8 hours*
ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND AND ROUND

I love the current Desert Bus VR game lol you can join other people's games and just sit in the bus as they drive 😂
“Has the word of the nerd been heard” literally got me so bad
Were you crying or dying from laughter? 🤔
I love how the fuel gauge is always on "E" and the engine overheats instantly. A timeless classic
man if only you had the trucks from big rig for the trip

Desert Bus: the movie
Penn and Teller play two rival bus drivers who challenge each other to a race from Tueson to Las Vegas. On the way, they stay in touch with the radio and learn about love, life and the inevitability of death. They also encounter a psychotic hitchhiker played by Rutger Hauer. Also starring Sharon Stone and Michael Caine.
I'd watch it.
We've got ourselves a script.
Obscure Entertainment
May 28, 1999
5/28/1999
I would pay good money for this; I'd probably play the entire Desert Bus game if it meant this was at the end!
id watch that..
How to beat the game:
Step 1: Find friends
Step 2: Switch between each other player when the one who is playing is tired.
Step 3:Repeat Step 2
Jane Wilder if I were a friend, where would I hide ?
Sounds like an actual road trip.
I have a solution of a physical auto-beat:
Make a gear on a wheel that will slap the d-pad once in a while so it will go left as soon as it went too right.
Profit?
Step 4: all your friends abandon you
10:59 the piano rendition of the AVGN theme song is brilliant!
Penn and Teller: the greatest entertainers of all time.
Also Penn and Teller: made desert bus.
Don't forget that their Smoke & Mirrors side-scrolling game comes in Normal and Impossible modes... and yes, they're making fun of insane difficulty levels.
Even though it's been 10 years, I *STILL* get giddy every time I see a new AVGN episode in my sub box.
It's like Christmas morning. :D
Specially when you watch it on christmas
I don't like sand. It's coarse and rough and irritating and it gets everywhere.

@@giygaswashere2808 It's a quote from Anakin Skywalker said in the Star Wars prequels.
James- this is by far the best internet series ever. I mean that literally.
The fact you don’t have ten times the subs is criminal. You paved the wave for so many youtubers.
So many people can probably attribute success to what you started and continue to do. You’ve inspired so many. I hope you never quit this. Your videos are so rewatchable. Keep it up man, we all love you!

Watching this episode is much more fun than the actual "game."
I truly love it that Penn and Teller saw Takeshi's Challenge, and said, "Hold our beers."
I can imagine EA Games Desert Bus. Only 20$ for DLC with Pause option.
Jeśli by to zrobił Capcom to wtedy to DLC byłoby na samym dysku.
Nope, that would be konami, just look at metal gear survives save slots
😂😂
Okay this is epic
Rain ur uncool
Considering that everything in this game happens in real time, that tow truck got out to the bus pretty quickly. When you're stuck in the desert you usually have to wait another few hours for help to arrive. Or maybe Nerd just cut that part out...
Links Fraulein yes
Maybe the tow truck was driving right next to you the whole time?
Or maybe need reverse the footage and there was no tow truck
Penn and Teller are geniuses. There arnt many entertainers as unique and consistent as they've been for almost 50 years. A "real life" driving game is hilarious.
The ending of this video is kind of wholesome. Kudos to all those modders out there who fix or improve old games, or even those who simply get them to run on modern computers.
Great job on 10 years of Nerdness!

Penn and Teller's Smoke & Mirrors port for the Nintendo Switch with Desert Bus included, who's with me?
Fuck you and your port BS. PC 4 lyfe
At least then you could play it on an actual bus.
@@Casanuda eat shit pc shit turd
Why Switch only? It's not even a Nintendo game. It was released on the Sega CD. They could totally release this on other platforms.
@@Casanuda it's a port if they put it on PC too lol
4:33 did that sign say "sus"?
I'm pretty sure it says "BUS".
Let's get a Jekyll and hyde redaction . Let's see em fix that shit
I made this game into a screensaver. That about sums up the game.
Desert bus 2 confirmed for Occulus Rift. No Joke
Lol oh but its true. Im not even trolling
+Константин Волков I think avgn only does retro games, the most modern game he's done is big rigs
In the big rigs video, he even says he doesn't usually do games from the current millennium
+Yuri Raslov unless we kept on requesting it. Like he said in his big rigs video.
Rly?
+Yuri Raslov Crazy Bus is a newer "game"
Man I can’t believe it’s been 8 years… I remember these coming out in 2007-8 😢
Next year AVGN show it's gonna turn 20 😨
This is the last episode with the old glasses
Yeah, and the firat time we saw the new glasses was AVGN: The Movie
Wow i just realized that how have i not noticed this

Yes he is agci comedy
I think that's terrible it took you a couple years to notice that Ben Taylor
"does your life have pause control?"
Yes it does,it called resting,take a break.
Penn and Teller are bloody trolls.
+hisyam amiruddin Can you pause whenever you want in your life?
9:05 that... does not sound right
"So if you've driven seven hours, does it take seven hours for the game to start over??"
Uncle Jobel knows all about that
The most funniest thing is that the bus is constantly overheating and there is no fuel to power the engine for a 8 HOUR journey.
The bus is a Omega Bus
In modern times, Desert Bus would be considered an awesome and deep indie game
Just like driving a truck tho
There's probably a hidden message too.
It has an android port. So if you're ever taking a long bus ride somewhere, you can SIMULATE THAT RIDE WHILE RIDING IT
Truck Simulator?
True
20 years of AVGN
14:58 I NEED TO GO TOUCH GRASS
Oh, and Penn and Teller designed the game this way because they wanted it to be realistic? Well they made one mistake - surely a route from Arizona to Vegas would have at least _one_ petrol station, diner, public bathroom, side road and hitch-hiker along the way? It wouldn't just be 714km of nothing. Speaking of which, is it even possible to drive a bus for eight hours straight without needing to stop for petrol?
Links Fraulein Maybe a very efficient bus could drive for that long. I know cars can
hmmmm Spazer Lazer!
Links Fraulein you can't see it but there's a guy tied to the side of the bus that pours gas in when needed and the bus driver has a piss bag and a feeding tube
Diesel is a much more efficient fuel than gasoline.
Buses of that era generally did about 6 mpg and had a fuel tank of 120 gallons, the round trip in the game was 720 miles,,, everything works out.
Oh man, once me and a couple of friends took hour long shifts and beat this game. It took all night. Just so you know, the bus stop sign is only at the very beginning. Never appears again. Not once. And the bug that hits the window? Also happens once, about five hours in. It nearly caused us to crash it was so exciting/scary. What a game.
damn, that must have sucked
Oh man, you're my hero. It must've been one hell of a friendship experience. I'm surprised you and your friend's fingers didn't fall off from being necrosed.
Beat the game? You mean got a point.
_"It took all night."_
Apparently nights are 792 hours long now.

I once got called on stage with penn and teller. They were great
I just realize the Doom mod Revenant Bus was based on this.
It would be cool if James could get Penn and Teller to appear on the show in the future. They could review the other mini games in Smoke and Mirrors.
"The show must go on!"
I honestly almost cried.
If this game was made by EA there would be micro transactions to unlock new interior skins and increase the bus speed
Fun Fact: At about 4 hours of driving, the game goes into nighttime which makes the road almost impossible to see.
The remake is now on Steam with VR support :)
7th gen consoles are now as old as 5th gen were when AVGN started! :O
Holy Fuck
You nearly make me cry for just saying that.
I heard Sony stopped the production of the PS3 in New Zealand recently.
KillerDreck89 I think they stopped the production of that almost a year ago here in Sweden. I was turning 6 around when the PS3 launched... I'm turning 16 this year.
TheBcoolGuy I was around 12 when it was launched. Now I'm 22, and I see the production ending in 1 or 2 years.

The Pen and Teller Bullshit series is absolutely awesome \m/
I agree. I have seen some episodes and all that I have seen I agree with and are very well thought out.
OMG I loveyour videos sins you are soawesome!
Agreed as well. Even the few I don't agree with in their entirety still make extremely valid sub-points and are extremely entertaining (such as the second-hand smoke episode).
Peter Richmond don't stop I put 5 years of my life and now its over fuck
funny seeing you here lol
His speech at the end matching with the music was incredible.
The piano version of the theme song was beautiful.
This bus is so slow, when it is about to hit someone, they Dodge the bus by slowly walking away. Even snails and turtles are faster than this bus.
And it takes 2 weeks to digest the food
