Desert Bus for Hope has already raised $86,789.00 and it is still rising as the team continues their trek across the Desert, confirming earlier today that they have reached a new milestone, raising $12,000,000 for Child’s Play Charity Lifetime. Truly an amazing achievement, a big salute and thank you to Desert Bus for Hope and what they do.
What is Desert Bus?
Desert Bus is a mini-game from the never-released Sega CD game Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors. Challenging the player to drive a listing, unreliable, virtual bus on an endless, eight-hour-long strip of highway between Tucson, Arizona, and Las Vegas, Nevada, it is widely regarded to be the worst video game ever made. With the game being about endurance, volunteers keep the audience entertained.
