New Video Game Recreates Kennedy Assassination
theodp writes "Lee Harvey Oswald-wannabes will be able to simulate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy when Traffic Games releases the $9.99 JFK Reloaded on Monday to coincide with the 41st anniversary of Kennedy's murder in Dallas. 'It is despicable,' said a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother."
I for one am looking forward to "Chappaquiddick II: The Game"
with Teddy Kennedy on *anything*, but this is in very poor taste.

The only title of honor that a tyrant can grant is "Enemy of the State."
Hopefully it isn't this company and a Kennedy impersonator.
I was hoping for a game that would let me recreate the beers that were thrown at Ron Artest on Friday night.
Campers. Bastards. The lot of them.
How can this possibly be $10 worth of entertainment? How can this be worth anything?
I get to shoot one guy, four times? If that costs $10 bucks, I owe Bungie about 180 billion dollars.

oh boy oh boy.. I can't wait until they make a simulation of Clinton in the Oval Office. Mission: Hit the mouth Fire torpedo one! The dress was hit, I repeat the dress was hit! Game Over
When does the Bush version come out?
Press "back and to the left, back and to the left" on the controller after the Traffic Games logo for an extra shooter!
or drive Mary Jo home... which is less fun.
Up Up Down Down Left Right Left Right B A Start JFK now has 30 lives!
The hear the multiplayer sequel lets your friends play as the shooters on the grassy knoll!
You'll throw the switch on an electric chair holding a convicted baby-butchering doctor in this educational look at both sides of the abortion debate. Learn all about electric current, too.
Take Dat, Bitch!
Use a crowbar on a conniving hooker before the jury rejects her opportunistic criminal complaint against you. The game has been designed to debunk phony assault charges; after all, she's a hooker.
Voterator
Install and, with the help of a bottle of Windex and a micro-fiber cloth, debug the latest U.S. touchscreen polling machines. Can a vote here or there go awry? Find out when your candidate enjoys late surges in the opposition's key districts!
And yet a large minority of the players devote their time to knifing hapless newbs.

Kill JFK and win a FREEEE iPod!
Let me be the first to suggest that it was, in fact, JFK who travelled back in time to shoot himself from the Grassy Knoll in order to right history.
I believe it was the show's final gasp of genius before a quick jump over the shark.
No matter what you do, you can't recreate the assignation since the bullets come from different directions?
Definition of assignation: a secret rendezvous (especially between lovers).
So you're saying JFK and Lee Harvey had something going on we didn't know about?
-- In a World without Walls and Fences, who needs Windows and Gates? --
Was I doing it wrong? I put my monitor 10 feet outside my window (as far as the cable would reach), ran the sim, then started shooting with my .22 from the windowsill. Was I supposed to use a special bulletproof monitor? Darn these realistic sims can be expensive!
Yes, But does it run linux?
Huh! Imagine when on higher levels there are HUNDREDS! of limos with Kennedies rushing at you! Like in old arcades.
incase you want to get an extra shooter on the grassy knoll.
There are lies, damned lies, and statistics.
When the GWB mod is due out?
Thats a great idea. Concentration Camp Tycoon, from the makers of rollercoaster tycoon and railroad tycoon. I can see it selling just about as well as lemonade tycoon...
No, silly. It's called Sim-Camp. Getting started is easy- just follow the steps below and you'll have your concentration camp up and running in no time.
Step 1 -- Build an Incinerator
Every camp needs an incinerator to dispose of the bodies of its victims. To build an incinerator, click on the Incinerator tool, then click on an empty area of the map. (Note: If the smoke from your incinerator is not animating, the game is probably paused. Choose a game speed to start the smoke animating.)
Step 2 -- Add Zones
Zones are areas that you designate for different kinds of buildings in your compound. The people who will be enslaved in your camp need to live in Residential Zones, work in Industrial Zones, and die in Disposal Zones. Place each zone type on the city map near the incinerator.
Step 3 -- Build Railways
The residents will need some way to arrive in your camp from the rest of the Reich. Place some Railways along the sides of your zones. Now that the zones in your camp have transportation, you should see your death camp slowly come to life. Congratulations! You've created your first concentration camp -- you may now call yourself "Kamp Kommandant!"
The SS at your door.
And finally, a gigantic limo drives up, with a humongous Kennedy.
It's not offtopic, dumbass. It's orthogonal.
... keep trying to make this a multi-player game.
___
It's the end of my comment as I know it and I feel fine.
There's already a humongous Kennedy. He senates for Massachussets.
Oh no they killed Kennyde.
Emacs is good operating system, but it has one flaw: Its text editor could be better.
By analysing the information gained from the release of the game, we now believe that:
"The killer grenade jumped the parade, and bunny hopped across to a grassy knoll where it spray pained a clan logo before shouting 'j1h4d l0l rotflmao gg' and then using an aimbot to assassinate JFK.... the final words of the killer before police emptied the munitions budget of a small state into him was: k1ll4h dropped - connection reset by peer"
Games.

Where can I download a Dubya mod/character?
Doesn't this need to be a networked game? I mean I can't be in the book depository and the grassy knoll at the same time.
I can't wait to see some mod that switches JFK's face to you-know-who's.
Tyranny isn't the worst enemy of a democracy. Cynicism is.
'It is despicable,' said a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president's brother.
Hes probably right, im gonna bet the graphics will be pretty bad and will still need decent hardware, the game play won't be up to much either, its despicable the way games are going, what happend to good gameplay?
