If you love to drink and play video games, then you are going to love Drunken NES. Drunken NES is a custom NES game from Batsly Adams that incorporates a breathalyzer. You can probably guess where this is going.
Drunken NES lets you compete against your friend to see who is legally ineligible to drive first. The game features six rankings, each based on animal puns. You start out as a "sew bear" and eventually progress up to the top rank of wasted.
I think Drunken NES is a lot more valuable than Adams knows. Drunken NES could potentially be used to keep drunken drivers off the road. At house parties, the biggest question is often who is sober enough to drive. Drunken NES answers that question in a fun and familiar way. The sew bears would get to drive and the wasted walruses could ride back seat. Sounds like a win to me.
