2012 / Games Ron Paul: The Video Game

Posted by Paul Constant on Fri, Apr 13, 2012 at 10:57 AM

Here is a video for a (fully funded) Kickstarter to build a Ron Paul video game. Paul circles the country trying to get elected. There's a level for each of the fifty states—and "13 Boss Fights - representing each of the 13 branches of the Federal Reserve." Paul collects gold coins along the way, of course. My favorite part of this video is when the developer promises that the video game will be done in two months, which, by my calculations, puts us in June. Genius! This is exactly when Ron Paul will reach the height of his popularity.

Don't miss the comments on the video, which offer up some suggestions for the game:

How about the last stage of the game Ron has to fight a Hydra monster that dwells in a pyramid with the Eye of Horus on the top? The Evil Hydra has the heads of Bernanke, Greenspan, Evelyn de Rotshcild, David Rockefeller, Brzezinski, Kissinger, Soros et al. and shoots fiat currency at him. The object - destroy the Hydra, defeat the New World Order and banish the Global Elites to Hell where they belong.

The game will supposedly be available for free online when it's done, as "my gift to the Revolution." If that happens, I'll be sure to review it.

He has to rescue the princess Ayn Rand from the evil commie-nazis.

Clearly, pilfering copyrighted images from Earthbound is now a libertarian value.

"This game *needs* to exist."

My favorite line from the video.

Ron Paul, perfect for a two dimensional understanding, enjoyed primarily by manchildren.

Yeah, makes sense for a platformer.

Looks bland as hell.

Oh, you can jump on baddies to defeat them? Oh, there's a level hub? That's cute.

Oh my god, he's sincere.

@6 - I don't think he's defeating them by jumping on them. It looks like the idea is to drive them into the throng of rabid supporters where they are presumably torn to pieces and become libertarians themselves, wandering the countryside in search of capitalist flesh.

@8

Is he? My mistake. I didn't have sound when I watched it so I couldn't hear the voice-over, and also my vision was clouded by my white-hot disdain for Ron Paul.

I guess that's a bit better. It still looks like a bland game. I mean, good on the guy for making something, seriously, but this isn't going to have a lot of value beyond being a propaganda piece.
