Clickmomukhamo has a funny entry about video games reimagined in the Philippine setting:
1. FPJ: Counter-Strike: first-person shooter with no need to reload weapons
[...]
4. Halo Garci(pwede rin Where in the World Was Garci?): first-person shooter whereyou try to assemble a fake passport while avoiding senate inquiries,police, and reporters.
[...]
6. Grand Theft Tricyle: Manila: You’re Bhoy an underage tricycle driver with an illegally acquireddriver’s license moving around Metro Manila doing various missions liketrike races and bringing passengers to their destination before theyhave a heart-attack from your driving
7. Katamaran Damacy: government employees tumble around the office making giant paperwork
To which I’d like to add the following suggestions:
1. DVD Tycoon - start out as a lowly pirated DVD vendor; win the game by putting local movie industry out of business.
2. The Starlets - design and control every aspect of your starlet’s life, home and career. spend most of the time hugging other starlets and speaking unintelligibly.
3. Second Life - get a tourist visa to the US and hide from the Bureau of Immigration for as long as you can.
4. Cueshe Hero - play the guitar to songs written by other bands.
