Operation Iraqi Freedom - The Game
Thanks to the Dallas Business Journal for a brief article announcing the release of F/A 18: Operation Iraqi Freedom, an Atari-distributed PC flight combat game that's just about to ship, less than 4 months after the start of the real-life campaign. The game's official website has more information on the title, which allows you to "..jump through your television directly into.. the F/A-18 Hornet.. load up with precision guided munitions and bring the forces of freedom to bear on the Iraqi regime of terror." And yes, this upgrade of GraphSim's earlier popular F/A 18 Hornet flight sim really does exhort you to "Kick Some Ba'ath" on the features section of its site.
Heare are the leaked cheat codes.

To be really realistic, when you win the game, you should be required to buy and play an endless series of "occupation" games!
The Sims Hosed Economy expansion pack.
You'd get laid off and watch CNN all day. You'd get
to do awesome stuff like hunt for jobs with 750
million other players. You'd get to watch the
Gov't spend billions on foreign "concerns" while
not taking care of things at home. I'd also like
to see a Sims Decreased Corporate Oversight
expansion pack, and a Sims Operation Civil Liberty
Removal one too.
For every annoying gentoo user, are three even more annoying anti-gentoo crybabies. Take Yosh from #Gimp for example.
The you are sure going to be pissed when Atari releases "Birth of a Nation: the lost missions" next month...
On Wall Street they say "buy low, sell high" On the pad we say, "buy high, sell high" Isn't that somehow better?
Thank you to the makers of this game, because it is the perfect parody of the US led-war on IRAQ.
What the hell is "the forces of freedom" ??
Basically shows how George and his staff have the US believing this is a Star-wars like world where the US "forces" are fighting the "dark side" or as he calls it "people who hate freedom". At least now the USS Condeleeza Rice can sail safely to get its shipment of cheap IRAQI oil, with production costs being about 1/4 that of US wells (TIME mag.)
Hey, maybe it will keep the NRA and disgruntled employees in the US something to practice on and feel patriotic all at the same time...
Yeeee-haaaa.
