Penn & Teller Sega game

ENNTELLERGAME.JPG
So way back in ye olden days of 1995 or so, there was once, briefly, an unreleased Penn & Teller game for the Sega CD and 3DO home console game units. This was a characteristically quirky Penn & Tellerish meta-goof on videogames themselves, wherein you'd have to drive a bus through the Nevada desert in real time (8 hours of controlling a bus which veers to the right slightly with only desert to look at, a task which when completed scores you exactly one point) match wits with rival magicians Stinkburger and Rot, buy travel from Deborah Harry, fight a tiger with a nailgun, and so on. This game was saddly, in what was likely a fit of fanatical concern which likely caused at a least one accountant's head to do a Cronenberg, never released. Something Awful offered a torrent once in 2003, but it too sadly went away. Now Waxy.org has a torrent up, and if you download one goofy-assed snark on videogames in your life, this would probably be the way to go.

Read all about the game (with screenshots) at Something Awful,
and then go to Wax for a torrent. You can find emulators to play the game on a modern whatever, but we don't know enough to give competent advice, perhaps Kotaku can help you there.
