Why do the graphics looks dated I hear you asking, that because this particular version was for the dreamcast. However if you fancy a pop at it yourself you can install nullDC (dreamcast emulator) and download this ROM from various newsgroups :P (It's a japanese game, not even translated to english)
As simple and as boring as it seems you'll find this game surprisingly addictive. There are so many ways to fail at this game and so much to remember to do you won't get very far before you have to try again:

Remember to close the doors
Set off on time
Don't accelerate too hard
Don't speed
Don't hit anything
Remember to indicate as you turn a corner
Stop for lights
Announce when approaching the next stop
Don't brake too hard
Arrive at the stops on time
Allow people to get off and on
Navigate through traffic on city / rural / country streets

And for those of you which have a PS2, you can get Tokyo Bus Guide 2:

How I figured this game out the first time I played it 7 years ago i'll never know!
You'd be suprised just how strong the urge to progress is!

Is is one of those games where you get bored after an hour and it ends up being like the movie "speed"...:lol:

a bit like that except the other way round. If you go over 50 then the game ends, nothing blows up and there is no rubbish acting by keanu reeves :)
