Yup, this seems to be a very real game. Bum Simulator [Steam] is a game that's going to turn a few heads, with it [showing] off life as a homeless person. It could end up being a little controversial too, I'm sure a few people will have some interesting opinions on this one.
I'm not sure what to make of it, as it looks mildly amusing, but it makes me feel a little weird. Can't be much worse than the thousands of other violent games we have I suppose and highlights the issues some people have to go through. A modern-life survival sim? Could be interesting.
In a sane forum it should be entirely possible to have an interesting and rational discussion on the sociological statement and implications of this game. That just wouldn't be our style though, would it?

I remember that game ... it made a Tac-2 joystick or two get tossed into the wall ... If I could have flipped the arcade machine on its side and stomp it to death I would have ... Damn that game was frustrating even 30 years later ...

ok All jokes aside, that what you do describe does sound quite interesting.

I only saw it in "80% complete" form, I don't know if he ever finished - he was a friend of my father's, dad left town, I think he left town too and I never got together with him again.
In a way, that was even more realistic, since mission objectives were rarely clearly or completely thought through before executing.
