Sim City 2000 was the one I'm most familiar with. If you cut back so much as 5% on transit funding, the guy went berserk: "YOU CAN'T CUT BACK ON FUNDING!!!!! YOU WILL REGRET THIS!" or some such.
And no matter what the tax advisor said he got booed.
But to tie this in, deferred maintenance is disgusting in universities. One of the lecture halls i was in (underground no less) had a massive concrete beam running across the ceiling. Everytime it rained, it would leak. We look up and there's this beam with a massive crack through which the water is leaking.
We were in a comparative religion course. I think a lot of us found some religious aspect to pray to about that beam every class.
