Ron Paul video game is in the works
MSNBC ^ | 4-19-12

Supporters of Ron Paul are chronically frustrated over an apparent lack of attention given to the presidential hopeful. One supporter is trying to fight the tide by creating a Web video game. "Ron Paul: Road to REVOLution," due later this summer, will illustrate his quest to for the White House in an interactive format.

The game is the brainchild of 27-year-old Daniel Williams, who aside from being a devotee of Ron Paul, is a fan of indie games, and "making liberty sexy." The combination of the three led to the idea for the "Ron Paul: Road to REVOLution," now being pitched on Kickstarter using the following video.

"Ron Paul: Road to REVOLution," is initially slated to launch on the Web later this summer, though it may be headed towards mobile platforms and the Xbox Live Indie Channel shortly thereafter.

The player guides Paul across all 50 states, as he collects delegates and gold (not cash, but real gold, which the game refers to as sound money). Boss battles will occur along the way, 13 in total, each representing a branch of the Federal Reserve.

The fund raiser to help fund the project was launched a few weeks ago, but only in the past few days has the initiative gotten serious attention. The goal was $5,000 and has already been met; it is currently at $7,222 and has 11 days left.

You lose points if your eye-brow falls off during a debate.

Oh great, so it starts out getting you all hyped up with wonderful ideals and talk then votes itself 100,000 points, blames everyone else including the Jews for it passing and then surrenders to a digital image of Muhammad.

Of course the game will be pulled off the net because of the objections of CAIR...

Boss?! The last time that word was used in such a way, the word "computer" conjured images of DEC mainframes with tape drives. Computer "games" were all text-based.

Hey, there's a thought. Do a Ron Paul game based on the Infocom "Zork" series. They'd only need to change one letter in the title.
