'Desert Bus classic gets an iOS port, for charity's sake AaAaAA!!! coming too'. The game can be played on the Oculus Rift and HTC Vive VR platforms, as well as Windows References On November 27, 2017, a free VR version was released on Steam, developed by Dinosaur Entertainment and published by Gearbox Software. Like the other pranks, there is a practice mode, and Penn & Teller give some hints on how to milk this trick for maximum effect. The owner is also meant to act as though his hand has been burned. The prank involves entering a code before playing, which causes the TV to cut to static after the third time the thermographics appear, suggesting the game has broken the TV. A disclaimer (that the player cannot skip past, even though the game is still playable) appears beforehand, and a dramatic voice states that these thermographics make the screen dangerous to touch, and even in their introduction, Penn and Teller claim it is dangerous. The game claims to have 'thermographics' which are released by the mothership. The prank in this game makes fun of video disclaimers as well as advertising buzzwords such as 'Blast Processing' used during the 16-bit era. Sun Scorcher is a game resembling Space Invaders in which a player controls a spaceship that has to destroy alien invaders and the mothership.

One player used a tool-assisted emulator, managing to obtain up to 99 points, although their claim that this is the maximum the game allows might have been an April fool's joke. Penn said that the prize 'was going to be, you got to go on Desert Bus from Tucson to Vegas with showgirls and a live band and just the most partying bus ever. He also stated that there would have been a prize for the person or group to get the highest score in the game, also substantiated by the various Desert Bus contest materials prepared for the release of the game. Penn Jillette commented in his radio show that the overly realistic nature of the game was in response to Janet Reno's comments in support of the moral panic about violent video games at the time (see Video game controversies).

The game was designed to be as inoffensive as possible to prove the point that not all video games were corrupting influences.
