If they want "cheesy" (which it kind of sounds like ... rap video?), PowerPoint lends itself well to "linear" elements. You can get creative here, such as faux children's storybook-style (think "Go The Fuck To Sleep") stuff, but the creativity is usually reliant on content, not presentation.
I think the most clever presentations I've ever seen were actually less reliant on PowerPoint's technology, and more abused the medium itself ... presentations with nothing but a single word on the slide let you show your own style and personality without using the slide as a crutch.
If you wanted to integrate the board game mentality, you could compose a series of, say, 50 or 100 slides with a single word about you, your past, your qualities, etc. - then make it so you go through 10 random slides (this would be relatively easy to program or do with invisible links - could even have the audience "spin the wheel"). The less intuitive the words, the better - instead of "Hard Working" to with "Tuna Tar Tar" - something that requires extensive effort and training to learn, but not a lot of time or heat to execute.
