This educational game in English and Spanish depicts the lives of illegal aliens in New York City. It begins as players arrive at JFK airport, get a job and begin a rollercoaster adventure of a life that might include getting mugged on the subway, learning ESL at school, getting fired from a job or winning the lottery. Players could even get arrested and deported, or get sick and die. “The game is an eye opener to anyone unfamiliar with the problems, effort and vicissitudes immigrants confront on a daily basis,” Jorge E. Freire of The J.E.F. Aliens Game Corp. told TDmonthly. “It’s a teaching aid for ESL schools and we hope it influences politicians’ minds as they work on the Immigration Reform Bill.” Launch date: October 12, 2007.
