I played it in high school. It was pretty popular with the band kids (not that I was one) and a pretty fun little distraction. Pretty hollow gameplay come to think of it, though.
Trickle Down: watch as tax cuts for the wealthy work their way down to you, as the coorporate CEO buys an extra car that needs to be washed that supports the owner who hires more employees who buy more videogames who support the best buy clerk! The excitement never stops!
I think that game has been made, it’s called TIE Fighter.
I’m pretty sure they can run out of ammo on Operation Flashpoint. And probably the Rainbow Six games.

Is it weird that I can totally see this as an Elite Beat Agents scenario? Set that shit to Rock Me, Amadeus or whatever and you’re all set. Fail the mission and you see Hitler commanding the Nazi hordes.
Ooh, are the Martians hot? Boom chicka bow bow!
I can see some web game designer reading this thread and thinking "Wow, some of these ideas are pure gold!
Granny Turismo - Choose from a wide variety of Lincolns, Cadillacs, Buicks and Oldsmobiles!

Also includes the weekly Church’n’back Rally. Defeat rivals Olene, Ethel, and Lucille in the Sunday cup. First prize is the parking spot closest to the door and the pew under the air conditioning vent!
Unfortunately, there is a Japanese video game that is more or less exactly this. IIRC, it’s called RapeLay. There’s a hysterical and NSFW review on Something Awful somewhere (called “Horrors of Hentai” or something like that).
