This is kinda random but me and my best friend were earlier discussing video games from like the 90's and early 2000's we used to play alot and there was this one game and for the life of me I cant begin to remember the name or what game console it was for but here this is what I remember:

The commercial for it was on all the time like either really late 90's or 2000-2001 and it showed a bus dropping the kids off at school in the morning then heading out doing jumps, and other crazy stuff and then at the end of the day the bus came back all destroyed to get the kids and one of the kids always yelled out "Holy S**T"

I know this is a longshot lol just seeing if anyone remembers

Vigilante 8 for the N64

Banned Vigilante 8 N64 Commerical


Upon release in North America a commercial was released for the game which showed a school bus dropping kids of at school and driving away, after cutting into gameplay the bus would later return to pick the kids up after school but was destroyed. The reason behind it being banned was that it referenced to Violence and was pulled after the Columbine High School Massacre.

Vigilante 8 (video game)

I don't remember seeing it back in the day but it is an amusing commercial.

Good call, Joe. Figured it had to be V8.

Played the hell out of that game. Always liked the Manta (Vette ripoff).
