Sunday Fun: 'MTA Country' Video Game Recreates the New York Subway Commute
Spend your free time dealing with the frustrations of your commute, but in video game form.
Drew Zeiba reports that Everyday Arcade has released a new video game called MTA Country that recreates the action and adventure of a New York Subway commute. Navigate between delayed trains, pizza rats, and graffiti that reads "Giuliani was here' while trying to get "Gregg T (Gregg Turkin, a lawyer, NYPD Legal Bureau member, and much meme-ified face of the NYPD’s 'If You See Something, Say Something' subway campaign) to work."
"Luckily for New Yorkers, MTA Country also works on your phone, making it an ideal way to pass time when your train inevitably gets stuck," according to Zeiba.
