It turns out that a browser-based flash game where you shoot cats out of the sky with your Hydrogen-powered plane may be a key tool to reach your young, liberal base.

At least, that's what Bernie Sanders -- or someone on his staff -- believed in 2006, when he was running to hold onto his senate seat. Which led to the gem that is "Bernie Arcade." In the game, you're responsible for flying Sanders' eco-friendly plane (of course) as he dodges the right-wingers, corporate interests, mud slingers and literal fat cats.

You're not alone in your battle though: Bernie is armed with facts that he can shoot at his foes. Every time you're hit, or pick up an item, you get a snippet of a Sanders sound bite to light your way.

This totally surreal journey is blessedly still playable via the Web Archive, and Sanders is so optimistic that he'll praise you each time you finish -- no matter what your score.

"The good news is — and there is some good news out there — that is an unbelievable number."

Your move, Hillary. May we suggest a pant suit dress-up game?
