JFK: Reloaded Announced - briefly
(hx) 12:13 AM CET - Nov,22 2004 - Post a comment / read (9)

According to MSNBC (thanks HomeLAN), Scotland-based publisher Traffic Games is releasing "JFK: Reloaded," an interactive simulation that allows users to re-create the Nov. 22, 1963, assassination of President John F. Kennedy in Dallas. The game will be released later this month. Here's some info:

Players are first placed at the sixth-floor window in the book depository where they attempt to pull off the same sequence of shots as did Oswald during the brief period of time that the motorcade is visible from Oswald's vantage point. According to Ewing, the number of shots and the accuracy thereof are affected by the reload time for the bolt-action rifle and realistically modeled wind and dropoff. Afterward, players are scored on how closely they came to re-creating the original event; to encourage gamers to buy the $9.99 download-only product, Ewing says those who come closest to replicating the assassination can win up to $100,000. Players can see and instantly replay what they've done from a variety of witness locations, like the grassy knoll and the Zapruder film or review their bullet trajectories.

Somehow, someway, I will acquire this game. And to all you non-believers out there, it wasnt Lee Harvey Oswald who killed JFK, there was someone else, or there were multiple gunmen. But from Oswalds POV, he could not have killed JFK.

Yeah, the only problem with this game is that it is totally false. Oswald was a fall guy for the French men that assassinated Kennedy from a gutter opening in the road right near the bridge. Did the maker even research this at all? http://www.jfk-online.com/tmwkk.html

Does the developer care if it's accurate or not? NOPE, as long as the kudos pour in is all that matters. I don't care if this sinks or swims, but the developer is getting ripped to shreds on the news! The Kennedy estate is tearing them to pieces -which considering this was an assasination is pretty sick to make a game out of....each to their own i guess..

Oswald was bait, and everyone knows that. In no way is this game disrespectful, its a competition for money and to learn about the assassination.

Can someone tell me or figure out how to play this game without paying the 9.99.

it was lee harvey oswald...what is your supporting evidence that it was somebody else.... the bullets came from the book depository...bullet entrance and exit woulds on JFK and Senator Conley both come from the book depository... how would somebody frame that... or even shoot from the sewers. Name one kind of gun that can go in one way and come out the other???

Click the link in my post. I have reasearched this topic more than you can possibly know. I have done several papers on it. It wasn't Oswald and one day the truth will come out.

Maybe someone will get the right idea and use this as practice before taking out bush :) Anyhoo, enough of the self righteous outrage about a lamo game, someone get a key and make it available then deprive the maker of the money you think he doesn’t deserve.
