I think the whole point of this game was to show that it's okay to have violence and fantasy and crazy unrealistic shit in your games, and that games and the entertainment from them benefit from it, because if it was completely realistic like this, it's just the dullest shit in the universe

Also, if you go off the road and get stuck, you have to get towed back to where you started. In real time.

I can imagine this being quite an asset for the Desert Bus For Hope campaign.

Desert Bus with good graphics, VR, and wheel support could actually be decent. I mean half of Germany is already playing those fucking trucking simulators anyway.

Well to be fair, Euro Truck Sim 2 exploded, because people found out it's actually pretty fun and relaxing.

i feel like if you went into VR to play the entirety of Desert Bus straight, you'd probably fuck up your eyes and be sucked into the virtual world and go into a fucking cybertrance that you can't just jack out of mid-cyberstream

the future is here, i can finally be a cyberspace truck driver

Not quite, if I recall correctly. It was developed in response to something some senator said about how games should teach life skills, the thesis of the game being: "but life and the skills you need to live it are fucking boring"
