  • 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.

    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.

    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"

      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.

    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.

    Thing is though, this game was made with the intent to be bad from the start. It's not really like it was a game that was made on the cheap and no one cared. This game was made by people who wanted it to be bad and also show what would happen if , back in the 90s. moral guardians got their hands on games and tried to make them 'real' and 'safe'.

      Meredith Caudle This. Plus it makes fun of people who complain about games being not realistic enough.

    • @SuperCosmicMutantSquid
      @SuperCosmicMutantSquid 9 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Toasty Tofu It was made in response to moral guardians complaining that games were too violent and not realistic enough. Desert Bus is giving them what they wanted; a non-violent, realistic scenario. I mean, what could be more realistic than someone who has a job that requires them to keep constant attention focused on one thing such as driving at a continuous slow pace and when you mess you you are required to wait for the proper help to come and tow you back to whatever distance you previously came from.
      This is why I find the game hilarious in that it gives people what they claim they wanted and shows how badly it can go. It also showed how disconnected most of the critics were when they acted as if ALL video games had this problem as there as not a lack of non-violent games available when this game was made as several of our most loved video game series are NOT just about blood or whatever people claim is ruining the world. If anything, this game sort of foreshadowed the complaints that are still going on TODAY as critics still like to paint games with the broadest strokes they can without looking around to see there is more than what they think exist in games and they care more than capable of finding something that will entertain them.

      I'm sure if the bus ride were 'fun' it would be deemed as unrealistic somehow.
