Video Game: Crazy Bus

Unmatched realism and intensity.

CrazyBus: Presiona START

CrazyBus is the world's most immersive, extremely detailed, and pulse-pounding bus-driving simulation. Featuring state of the art graphics, a richly appointed world full of hidden areas to explore, edge-of-your-seat action, and a soundtrack just as notable as the work of Hans Zimmer, John Williams, Yoko Kanno, and Nobuo Uematsu, CrazyBus is truly the pinnacle of...

Oh, who are we even kidding here. It's impossible to even type this stuff with a straight face.

CrazyBus is an unlicensed Venezuelan Sega Genesis tech demo from 2004, created to test out the author's BASIC compiler and sound driver. It would be completely unremarkable if it wasn't for the eardrum-bursting, randomly generated soundtrack. More info can be found here.

Not to be confused with Crazy Taxi, Desert Bus, or the Show Within a Show from Arthur, whose Theme Song would probably annoy Arthur less than this game's music.

Compare with Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing, another large-vehicle related game with next to no content.

This game contains examples of:

Bilingual Bonus: While most of the game is in Spanish, the title uses two English words that go entirely untranslated throughout the whole game.
Brown Note: Significant exposure to Crazy Bus' soundtrack can lead to cranial trauma, temporary loss of hearing, and complete insanity.
Cap: The maximum distance you can reach is 65535 meters.
Cult Soundtrack
Driving Game
Endless Game: There is no actual ending. Just keep racking up points!
- Or simply get the maximum possible score immediately by driving backwards.
GIS Syndrome: The backgrounds are all digitized photos.
Gratuitous English: the title.
Let's Play (or Retsupurae): The game was popularized by this Let's Play by the esteemed Les Beardly
- CRAZY BUS! With the greatest music on Earth!
Loading Screen: Only a few seconds long, thankfully. There's not much to load, truth be told.
Non Indicative Title: Besides the title screen music, the actual gameplay is fairly down-to-earth and not "crazy" at all.
Pac-Man Fever: Truth in Television. This game was released in 2005. Would you have guessed? Recent versions have been released as recently as 2010 with the same ear-grating music and grainy graphics. Justified somewhat in that it was written to run on a Sega Genesis in mind.
Product Placement: For Venezuelan bus companies
Sensory Abuse: The title screen music.

We Will Use Wiki Words In The Future: The game's title is actually CrazyBus.
With Lyrics: According to You Tube user TheEverandever, the main theme song goes "BEEOBUUOBAAOBUUOBEEOOBUUBAAOOB�UUOO"
Wrap Around: Your bus travels all around the world!
