The White House website launched Arcade on Thursday.
It is a collection of five retro video games that promote President Donald Trump’s agenda.
One game, “Build the Wall,” is a “Tetris” knockoff about border protection.
“Rio Run” resembles “Snake” and features a Trump-like icon gathering border crossers.
“Supply Line” is similar to “Tapper” and involves rejecting food that fails “Make America Healthy Again” standards.
Two games are set over Washington, D.C.
“Flappy Bill” has an eagle carrying a bill.
“Trump Savings Tycoon” involves collecting money for “Trump Accounts,” the plan offering $1,000 to children born during Trump’s term.
On Friday, The Tetris Company said it was not involved in creating “Build the Wall.”
It added that it did not authorize or license the Tetris brand for the game.
The company noted that the original game aims to avoid building walls.
It said Tetris has brought people together for over 40 years and that it is reviewing the matter.
The White House promoted Arcade on social media with animations parodying gaming loading screens.
In one post, the Sega logo changes to “MAGA,” which stands for “Make America Great Again.”
