I thought I knew my classic games pretty well, but somehow I'm drawing a blank on this particular Atari 2600 cartridge.
In fact, Technabob has uncovered an entire series of parody 2600 carts. Most aren't political, but they are definitely worth a look - and a laugh.

Zen: I felt Brutal Legends was a funny & beautiful look at the world of rock from Double Fines point of view. The only parts I wasn't hot for were the RTS bits as it felt forced. Otherwise fantastic.02/12/2012 - 1:34pm

DorthLous: Passed 1.5M$. And I'd also say that Brutal Legend is far from being a bad game. I just think it was a few levels under what people expected from the people working on the project.02/11/2012 - 8:25am

Technogeek: Brutal Legend wasn't bad so much as "marketing had no idea how the game actually played", causing it to suffer accordingly.02/10/2012 - 10:38pm

Guamish: I think it is in good hands. Tim did a game for the GDC award show and that was fun for how short it was.02/10/2012 - 12:22pm

Re: Obama on the Atari 2600?
Fitting since Obama hasn't touched a console (or arcade) video game since the days of Atari.
Re: Obama on the Atari 2600?
these parody carts are Really funny
Watching JT on GP is just like watching an episode of Jerry springer only as funny as the fights

Re: Obama on the Atari 2600?
I can almost hear it now, what the 'YES WE CAN!' sample would sound like:
'DONK DONK DONK'
Some of those were kinda funny though.
(EDIT: Actually it seems a John McCain atari cart would make more sense, since that's what he'd prolly think of when you say 'videogames'.)
