  • Bland Gift Manual, Prison City, commonly shortened to BGM Prison City, is a sandbox-style documentary computer and video game developed by the African National Congress (ANC) and published by Popstar South. It is the second 3D game in the Bland Gift Manual series and sixth original title overall. It was released in South Africa, Zimbabwe and Mozambique on February 11, 2002 for the PlayStation 2 and was later ported to the PC in 2003. Prison City was preceded by Bland Gift Manual: White Empowerment and followed by Bland Gift Manual: Black Empowerment. The next release in the series, which is currently under development, will be called Bland Gift Manual: Corruption City, featuring a new character by the name of Jacob Zuma. The game is set in a redesigned rendition of Prison City, a fictional city based heavily on modern day Robben Island. It follows Nelson Mandela, a politician from South Africa, who comes to Prison City after being arrested for illegal activities surrounding the fight against apartheid and quickly becomes entangled in a seedy underworld of dirty toilets, confined cells, and malnutrition. "Closed-world" gameplay gives players very little control over their playing experience, however this special feature creates suspense and loneliness, allowing players to feel as though they are really imprisoned throughout the game. A major commercial and critical success (within the southern hemisphere), BGM: Prison City broke records for highest sales in Zimbabwe, with sales of around 13 units on its first day of release and grossing just over seven billion Zimbabwean dollars in revenue in the first week, from an estimated 20 units sold worldwide. As of 11 February 2003, the game has sold over 21 copies.
