In the past years, video game producers are creating games that mimic real life occupations... such games include Freight Truck Driving, Airplane Piloting, Subway Operator, Ambulance etc. Now comes the Bus Driver!



Future Occupation?



Bus Route



Behind the wheel...



Your passengers...



The Controls...

 

I'd like to see a real truck driving game... with synchro-less shifting and all!

 

WestSideBilly, if you've ever played SEGA's Ferrari F355 Challenge, that is by far the most realistic game I have ever played... the clutch even has a critical point... the shifter will lock out of a gear unless you push it in far enough... has caught me out a few times

 

I agree F355 rules..only game I recall that ever had a clutch at all.

But somehow, I dont think Bus Drving Challenge is going to surpass GTA3

 

Bus games have been out on the home consoles for quite some time, at least in Japan.

Although I'm sure being in an arcade makes it that much more exciting.

 

I tried my hand at that game last December when in Tokyo. Did not get past the first level though. Much harder than I thought it would be but still not a great deal of fun. Really the game is too realistic to enjoy. I mean you can't even run over pedestrians. Come On!

LV, if you're talking about the F355 arcade game, I've played it a couple times. I agree - very realistic, very challenging, and very cool. Now if only I could get one at home so I don't have to pay $5 to play it

However, shifting in that game (or shifting a real car) can not compare to driving a 40 ton truck with an Eaton Super 10 tranny. Talk about an exercise in frustration
