Bernie Sanders has his very own computer game, and it has all the quirky liberal flair that his supporters have come to expect. The game, "Bernie Arcade," features the Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate dodging the threats of the "extreme right wing" by firing off "fact sheets" in a red helicopter. Naturally, Sanders' other obstacles in the game include "mudslingers," "big money special interests," and "fat cats."
If Sanders' plane, which Business Insider notes is fueled by "environmentally friendly hydrogen," is hit by one of these many obstacles hurtling toward him, you'll hear his voice spouting characteristic catchphrases, including "Absolutely abysmal!" "You're being bombarded!" and "Disastrous!" while bluegrass music strums along in the background.
At the end of the game — no matter how dismal your score — Sanders offers players words of encouragement. "The good news is — and there is some good news out there — that is an unbelievable number," he says.
