The German games scene is a little different from what we're familiar with over here. In 2010, a farm-equipment simulator called Landwirtschafts Simulator 2011 was the second best-selling PC game priced under 30 euros over there, after World of Warcraft. With the release of Omnibus Driving Simulator, fans of public transportation can get in on the action. Who says farmers have all the fun?
The game, published by Aerosoft, includes a variety of buses that are presumably well known in Germany, including the doubleeckers SD200 and SD202. Each meticulously modeled bus can be outfitted with a variety of period specific ad wraps. Did I mention that the game is set in the '80s? You can even drive the BVG omnibus line 92, which runs from Spandau, Freudstraße to Heerstraße, Stadtgrenze in preunified Germany.
Take a look at the game in action below. It's oddly hypnotic stuff. If you're not feeling patient, skip ahead to the 6-minute mark, when the driver picks up some passengers who may or may not be androids. One thing's for sure: the moochers didn't pay the fare.
