* In the game, ''Kindergarten'', the students almost act like adults. Examples such as: Buggs will kill you if the player doesn't give him half his money, Cindy knowing the word "rape" and play house to literal, and Monty acting like a drug-dealer because he has both cigarettes and the Principal's pills.
