Obama Stimulus Rendered in Retro Math Game Style

Obama Stimulus Rendered in Retro Math Game Style

March 4, 2009

2P Start takes note of President Obama's recently-passed stimulus package by invoking the graphic style of the old Number Munchers game (perhaps some GP readers played it in school).

The artist explains:

I kind of get the feeling this comic might appeal more to The Oregon Trail crowd... Number Munchers was another early educational PC game that a lot of us probably played in elementary school...

 

In any event, we’re not trying to spark a political debate here, it’s just that $787 billion is a staggering number, even for an old pro like Muncher!

Oh Number Munchers!

I talked about Number Munchers in my grad school application essays. What a good idea, I'm all nostalgic already and I haven't even played it yet.

Number munchers got it right, it's all just numbers in a computer somewhere, just type them back in, economic crisis solved.

LOL!

I had the Number Munchers high score for about 5 years after I left that school. I was already in college before I let the record go.

Remember this game? I used to own the game. I think I may still have it buried somewhere although in all likelyhood we probably gave it away to somone.

I can't even remember the rules though.
