Barack Obama may have already claimed victory with the Electoral College, but you too can relive his political adventures in the styling of Super Mario.

“Super Obama World is a fast-paced side-scrolling platform game in the style of classic 1990’s games. In the first installment, set in Sarah Palin’s home state of Alaska, you control President-elect Barack Obama as you battle pigs and pitbulls[sic] with lipstick, hockey moms, Russian soldiers, greedy oil-company executives, and Sarah Palin herself. “ via ZenSoft (http://www.zensoft.com/games_online_sow.html)

ZenSoft, a “three-person company dedicated to making things fun,” released the free flash game on Election Day, Nov 4.  The game has clever allusions to the 2008 presidential election.  Bopping a stylist with a shopping cart next to a mall, for example, gives you 150,000 points.  They plan to release more levels set not only in Alaska, but also Illinois, Arizona and Washington D.C.
