Play chess, get deported (well, it's more complicated than that)
Bobby Fisher, former US hero for beating the commies at their own brainy game, is facing deportation to the US because of a match that he played in 1992 in Yugoslavia (there were sanctions against the country at the time). Of course, the deportation is not for playing the game itself, but I wanted to point it out as an example of the dangers of games. I have been playing Manhunt lately and I think that the best part so far is when beaten-up characters try to convince you of sparing their lives by arguing "It's only a game, right?". Games can be deadly serious. Just tell Boy-genius Bobby down in his little cell waiting for deportation.
