Game On?

A ''Juno'' videogame? -- We imagine different storylines for the potential game of Ellen Page's indie hit

When recent rumors flew that Juno might become a videogame, we wondered just how that would work without an M rating. Well, we've got a few ideas worth carrying to term.

THE LEGEND OF JUNO AND THE PREGNANT ORACLE
On a quest to find the perfect parents for her baby, Juno must find her way out of a strip-mall labyrinth by solving puzzles based on the potential adoptive couple's zip code, social class, and choice of transportation. Bonus Points for: Unlocking fortune-telling hamburger phones; finding a couple that drives a Prius.

JUNO HIPSTER CITY
Juno drives around in a used VW — Grand Theft Auto-style — on missions to earn indie street cred. These include chugging Sunny D and buying ironic thrift clothes. Bonus Points for: Passing out 1,000 fliers for the Moldy Peaches concert; taunting jocks with obscure '80s references.

WOMB CALIBER
A hentai-style, digitally enhanced Juno defends herself against activists who pelt her with Plan B pills. Bonus Points for: Combo attacks with the help of sidekick boyfriend Paulie Bleeker.
