Penn Jillette And Randy Pitchford Remake Video Game

Entertainer and magician Penn Jillette, who you probably recognize as one half of Penn and Teller, is working on a virtual reality remake of The Desert Bus Video Game with Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford.

The original Desert Bus is played annually by charity organization Desert Bus for Hope, which last November raised over $600,000 by playing the game for 159 hours straight. According to Jillette the remake will only be made available for charities, such as Desert Bus for Hope, and will be released as part of a larger bundle.

“I’m working on a game. I’m working with Randy Pitchford, and we’re going to do – and this is a big, big deal – we’re going to do a new Desert Bus and it’s going to be just for charities, so charities can use it to raise money,” said Jillette, speaking on the latest episode of his podcast, Penn’s Sunday School. “Pitchford’s calling it Desert Bus 2.0; I’m calling it Desert Bus 1.0003,” joked Jillette. “And it’ll be a period piece; it’ll be set in 1992, like the original Desert Bus. Just high fidelity.”

The original Desert Bus is a gag minigame featured on the unreleased 1995 Sega CD game Penn & Teller’s Smoke and Mirrors, and was later released as a standalone game on iOS and Android in 2011. The sole objective of Desert Bus is to drive an empty bus from Tucson, Arizona to Las Vegas, Nevada (and back) in real time and at a top speed of 45mph. Each one-way journey requires eight hours to complete and the game cannot be paused. The bus also requires constant steering adjustments to remain on the road; if the bus veers off the road and stalls it will be towed back to its point-of-origin (also in real-time).

While Penn Jillette is familiar to readers of The Magic Compass, Randy Pitchford isn’t. Randy  is one of three owners and founders of Gearbox software and under his guidance as President and CEO, Gearbox has grown from an idea into a leading independent game development studio with titles that have sold over 30 million units worldwide earning over $1 billion. Before becoming a full-time video game developer, Randy was a professional magician in Hollywood occasionally performing at the famous Magic Castle where he is still a member. He has a full magic theater built into his North Dallas home and if the name “Pitchford” sounds familiar it should.
Randy is related to Richard Valentine Pitchford who was better known as Cardini. Randy has collected many items that were once owned by his famous uncle including the watch that The Society of American Magicians gave him for his contributions to magic and for serving as President of The Society of American Magicians.

To date the Desert Bus for Hope team have raised over $3.1 million for Child’s Play, a charity that donates toys and games to children’s hospitals around the world.
