Video game makers have made many violent, bloody, offensive games. There is the Grand Theft Auto series created by Rockstar games and the Mortal Kombat series created by Midway. These games are some of the most offensive games ever made.
But now Traffic games has created “JFK: Reloaded” a ten dollar game that allows a player to relive the assassination of John F. Kennedy.
The player acts as Lee Harvey Oswald and attempts to assassinate President Kennedy by shooting him in the head. The better the shot the more points gained. And the highest score receives a $100,000 cash prize.
Does the Video Game industry have any decency? I believe Ted Kennedy’s words sums it all up “It’s despicable!”
What's next? A video game called "Chappaquiddick: A Bridge Game of Sorts?"
Back and to the left, back and to the left.
I played this, and yes it's really sick. But funny in a morbid nasty way. If you shoot the driver he goes flying along and all the guys in the back seat area go flying around in classic game ragdoll fashion. You can also make him do an eval knieval style jump over the grassy knoll.
According to an article I read in Newsweek, the game creators are making it so that there is no conspiracy and that Lee Harvey Oswald was the sole killer of JFK.
Just wait for someone to hack the game and make JFK's face that of GWB. Then everyone who plays the game will be a felon subject to arrest and prosecution.
There'll be a lot of Damnocrats in jail.
Tacky.
Whatever happened to blowin' up aliens? Or Commies? Or Dragons?
Maybe it's just another sign of a culture in decline...
For me, I'd rather be killing Orcs....
That was one magic lugie!
Next up, JFK Jr. Flight Simulator.
how long till they make a "shoot at Reagan" or "assassinate Lincoln" game? How far should game makers go? I've killed loads of Nazi's in several games and also fought for Axis as well as Allies in Enemy Territory...
Wasn't there a post about this already? Oh well. It is sad that they made this game.
If it was truly historically accurate, I'd be interested.
"And the highest score receives a $100,000 cash prize."
I'll have to put my gamer son on this.
I never played video games as a small child, which was a good thing, although I did enjoy Space Invaders when I was a teenager in the early eighties. Some of the current day game developers have gone way too far. Games like this should not exist.

Sign me up! I'll take 100 copies to give to all my liberal friends for Christmas :)
