JFK Reloaded

Post by Illuminati »

JFK Reloaded is about to be released. It was made to prove the "lone gunman" theory on the assassination of John F. Kennedy. Obviously, this game has stirred up some controversy...
LOS ANGELES, California (Reuters) -- A new video game to be released on Monday allows players to simulate the assassination of U.S. President John F. Kennedy.

I saw this on the national news this week & then just saw this post..

With all the national attention I might grab it! Has anyone tried this out?

Go to the JFK Reloaded Site: Here
Download the demo: Here
Download the High Graphics Patch (ATI 9700/Nvidia 5700 & higher): Here

Update: After downloading the demo and the high resolution patch I'm a little bummed out. Turns out the only thing you can do in the Demo is watch the motorcade drive by, but you can't actually shoot anything. To "unlock" the game you must hit "esc" and purchase it for $9.99 from the game developers. For those of you who don't want to pay money to play a game killing an ex-president there is another option. Although not legal (neither is shooting a president) I found that cracks are out for the game and are available via your favorite P2P service.

Pretty deep subject if you ask me. Here is a group of people making money of one of the sadest events in US history. It was bound to happen in this day and age, but still a shame to see taking place. I just don't like how the Kennedy family knew nothing about the game till the press took the story to the air. They are the ones that lose in this situation.

Extremely Difficult and Realistic Game

Post by ericbower »

After many years of research books and movies I have read (High Treason, Profiles in Courage, JFK by Oliver Stone, 4 Days in November and all the usual News Specials) Nothing has come as close as this game to put things into perspective. I can see all the negative reviews considering the nature of the game but if you look at it from a forensic science perspective It comes as close to the real thing as possible. When looking from Oswald’s sites it takes you back to November 22, 1963 at 12:30 CST in Dallas, Texas. The difficult nature of reproducing the actual shots makes it nearly impossible of a perfect score of 1000. However it is possible to come close. For only $9.99 I thought the price was excellent and the chance of winning up to 100K made me even more interested. So if you don’t like violence or the idea of the game itself don't buy the game. It is not Doom or any other first person shooter it is a computer generated forensic science environment. Every shot you take and even your shot timing effects your score. Based on the Warren Commissions report and the Zapruder film it is as accurate as possible. No conspiracy theories come into play.

I think its a terroist plot to get our youth to think its ok to kill a vertual president, thus desenitising them into thinking its ok to kill the real deal. I put my money on Saudi and Iranian investors footing the bill. :P
