IN THE NEWS

(1 / 2)


YOU WON'T BELIEVE THIS ONE EITHER:
	BOLIVIA'S AMBASSADOR TO THE U.S. ASKED THE SENATE FOR LOAN OF
$100 MILLION DOLLARS. SINCE THEIR ILLEGAL EXPORT SYSTEM (DRUGS) OF
$600 MILLION A YEAR EXCEEDED THEIR LEGAL EXPORTS, THE RECENT DRUG
RAIDS HAS CRIPPLED THEIR ECONOMY WHICH IS SO DEPENDANT ON THE DRUG MONEY.
	IN HIS TESTIMONY, THE AMBASSADOR MADE IT CLEAR THAT HIS GOVERNMENT
STILL CONSIDERED THE DRUG RAIDS SUCCESSFUL, NO MATTER WHAT IT DID TO THE
ECONOMY.
	IT SEEMS "IT" IS GOING TO DO IT TO OUR ECONOMY, NOT THEIRS.

Game Idea?

(2 / 2)


Name:  Mr. Vice Cop    or    The World, Torch It to Save It

Controls:  Almost non-existant

Game Play:  Fly over jungles and blast the jelly out of little
            make-shift drug factories.  Points are scored not for
            how much drugs were manufactured at each hit location,
            but for whatever inflated figure you decide to award
            yourself.  Bonus points are given for waiting for the
            TV news crews before bombing the peasants back to the
            stone-age.

Objective:  To keep the world from abusing drugs.  As you progress
            through wave after wave more people turn to drugs and
            you get to use bigger weapons.  Eventually you lose.

This is an expensive dedicated game that will cost the operators dearly,
but since the player must coin-up with 100 million quarters per play
the game should pay for itself the first day.
