Did you find it strange that the control mechanism involves integrating the controls into the game itself? This is an effect on the content of the game, not just the session. I wonder if they could have a Red Star power-up that would give you bonus time if you could prove you did your homework? ;-)
Or if you turn in one of your neighbors for an offense to the state - say . . . smoking, or over eating.
...or were related to the local CP official.
Good idea. You could get, say, extra ammo or a bonus life if you can correctly fill in the blank on a passage from the Sayings of Chairman Mao.
