In the wee hours of PAX, I rushed into the Xbox booth to catch a minute of the Xbox Live Arcade version of Sonic CD. The old Sega CD game is coming back later this year. More »

Sega's Most "Shameful", "Sick" And "Disgusting" Video Game

Luke Plunkett — Thu, 24 Mar 2011 00:00:00 EDT

No, we're not talking about Sonic The Hedgehog, in which an animal makes out with a human. We're talking about Night Trap, a Sega CD game released in 1992 that may have been the stormiest tea cup in video game history. More »

The Desert Bus Departs For Charity Tomorrow

Michael McWhertor — Thu, 18 Nov 2010 21:00:00 EST

It's that time of year again, when a group of charitable gamers sit behind the wheel of the infamous Desert Bus and drive endlessly, tirelessly, maybe even masochistically, at a maximum speed of 45mph for nearly a full week More »

Child's Play Drivers Pile Back on the Bus

Owen Good — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:00:00 EST

Take a seat and don't stand forward of the yellow line - Desert Bus for Hope kicked off its third marathon o' masochism, and looks to top the $70,000 it raised last year for the Child's Play charity. More »

Desert Bus Rides Again, Already Raking in the Dough

Owen Good — Sat, 29 Nov 2008 18:00:00 EST

We've had a little bit of game marathon fatigue up here in the Tower, but Desert Bus for Hope, as something of a granddaddy of all of these — not to mention the absolutely absurd and painful game they chose — gets a pass from me. More »

genesis4iphone, Exactly What It Sounds Like

Mike Fahey — Wed, 19 Mar 2008 21:00:15 EDT

The ZodTTD has already shown us how well the iPhone can do Super Nintendo emulation with snes4iphone, and now they're taking on the other side of that ancient console war with genesis4iphone. Due for a public release sometime later this week, genesis4iphone not only emulates Genesis games, but Sega CD titles as well. Sound is a little iffy at the moment, but the option of landscape or portrait mode is nifty, and the games seem to run quickly despite the choppy audio. While I still haven't hopped on the iPhone bandwagon, projects like this have me looking through my AT&T Wireless upgrade options just a little more wistfully each day. More »

Desert Bus Charity Drive Tops $12,000

Michael McWhertor — Mon, 26 Nov 2007 17:40:23 EST

When we first posted about the Desert Bus For Hope drive, in which a few unlucky charitable types would be forced to play through the bore-torture game Desert Bus for days upon end for a good cause, donations were at $2,000. As of this post, the outpouring of money from sadistic do-gooders is over $12,000. And that's Canadian dollars, too! The good kind! Donations don't appear to be slowing down either, so make sure to do your part to keep that bus a-rollin'. More »

Gamers Forced To Play Desert Bus For Charity

Michael McWhertor — Fri, 23 Nov 2007 19:00:00 EST

The gang from LoadingReadyRun are enduring many, many, many hours of "playing" the commercially unreleased Desert Bus, a sadistically monotonous driving game from Penn & Teller's Smoke And Mirrors, all in the name of charity. Originally planned for release on the Sega CD and 3DO, Desert Bus requires eight-full hours of play to complete, with no pausing and absolutely no reward (save for a single point). Masochistic players drive a slightly unbalanced bus in a straight line, from Las Vegas to Tucson, experiencing virtually no changes in the scenery. For eight hours. Then they go back. Another eight hours. More »

Night Trap Remake Comes Just In Time

Michael McWhertor — Sat, 28 Oct 2006 19:06:29 EDT

No one's is going to argue that Night Trap was a good game. Far from it. But it was fun and enjoyable in a "its so bad its good" kind of way. Or a "I like looking at nubile teens in negligee" kind of way. Or maybe a "I am so sick of playing Kriss Kross: Make My Video on my Sega CD" kind of way. More »

Penn and Teller Game From Hell

Brian Crecente — Thu, 02 Mar 2006 07:00:05 EST

Screenhead sends word of the never released Penn & Teller game for the Sega CD and 3DO consoles. The game sounds like one big goof on gaming with challenges like driving a bus through the Nevada desert. The drive takes 8 hours of real time through an empty desert in a bus that randomly veers to the right. More »
