Illfonic is a Denver-based video game company co-founded by Raphael Saddiq of Tony!Toni!Tone! fame. Their first title is “Ghetto Golf” which is described as “Billy Madison” meets “Friday.” They don’t have a publisher for the game yet but they’ve still managed to get some good, unintentional press.
The Illfonic office is located next door to a medical marijuana store. A couple of nights ago the weed shop’s burglar alarm sounded and the police responded. Unfortunately they went to the wrong address and ended up mistakenly removing the Illfonic team from their office at gunpoint. The video and “Ghetto Golf” screenshots are below.
Turns out it was a false alarm in the marijuana store so the cops didn’t completely screw-up. Here are a few screenshots of “Ghetto Golf”:
Former Michigan basketball player Dommanic Ingerson should’ve told Oakland police he was playing Ghetto Golf and lost his ball in Lake Merritt. It wouldn’t explain why he emerged from the water naked, but it might have provided him with an alibi.
