Welcome to Whack-a-miner, a retro political game dealing with Margaret Thatcher's repression against miners during the 80's. I was a kid at the time, but I do remember that Maggie was evil and a disgrace to the female gender - Condie Rice is Mother Theresa next to her. Last time I heard of her she was sending presents to mass murderer Augusto Pinochet, so I guess I understand that people may dislike her enough to still make games about things that happened two decades ago.
Anyway, leaving Maggie alone, Whack-a-miner may be a simple Flash game but it's gameplay suits perfectly its metaphor: you have to hit miners and of course moles and miners have many things in common. You can play it here. And as a sidenote, I guess I agree it's never too late to create a political game :)
