Has anyone else played it? What was your high score?

I honestly cannot understand why the game upset so many people, it's purpose was historical simulation. Personally I think that more such games should be made about the assassinations of historical figures based off of this game.

Tehe... hehehe... HAHAHAHAHA!

Yes... historical simulation...

Anyway, I must say the game is fun for some horrible, horrible reason, as long as the sound is off. When the sound's on, it freaks the hell out of me.

Score? I once was able to get JFK and the governor.

I was actually in one of the cars behind him, but no one's figured that out.

how bout more like a George W shooting?

That would seem more logical, because JFK actually had some respect

Just from hearing it that game sounds sick

Well he does garner the respect for standing up to the USSR in the cuban missile crisis, knowing the risk that it created.

He also made the initiative to land on the moon.

But making it seem that he was the best president ever because he got shot is stupid.

Well the Cuban Missile Crisis was his way of making up for the Bay of Pigs which was a total disaster and really we started the Cuban Missile Crisis because we actually put missiles pointed towards the USSR in Turkey.

Old, out of date missile the US forgot it had left there after WWII until the Russians reminded us. JFK got out of BoP easy with that chip.

US military didn't use missiles in WWII.

I always found shooting the driver to be the best option - half the time he'll crash the car ansd kill all the occupants anyhow. Also fun is targetting thwe driver of the car in front to snarl up the whole motorcasde and then picking people off at relative ease.

I just shot the guns out of the hands of the police.

Pacifist that I should be.

Conspiracy to commit treason! Conspiracy to commit murder! He's not even really a robot Cheech Marin! Pacman Ghost Cops, arrest him!!!

Go back and read the OP, I said that I think this would make a great game if re-released with more levels, more historical assassinations. I think it'd also make a better game if you had the option of a "recreation of events" mode or a free-style mode. Recreating it to the last detail is difficult though not un-posssible.

I snagged my copy from http://www.the-underdogs.info/game.php?id=5264 but it's mirrored elsewhere.

For some reason, I keep mis-reading the title of this thread as "JKR Reloaded".

This is not good... :mad:

So, kind of like Grand Theft Auto... but more controversial? (Imagine that...)

THAT WOULD MAKE A GREAT GAME TOO! Imagine a game where you get to shooting the author of the Harry Potter series!

JFK, some might say his fate was deserved for how close he brought the world to nuclear war because of his spam trolling over having missiles pointed at the US even though the US had been pointing missiles at the USSR for years in turkey etc, I want to play this game.

The point I want to make is that Fleckenstein totally owned XDoLEx with the second post, but gave it up with the third. The second post has something called "synchronicity" ... I instantly assumed that Fleck wanted the game because of XD's finding it sick. Sometimes fate is on your side, huh? :)

Things went kind of wrong after that I think. Respect the synchronicity and fate will favor you.

Because of the fact that it can be abused to parody the assassination? And if I were a family member, I would be upset even at the game-makers, even if they were genuine in their intent for historical purposes. Then again, controversy should not have come up as a surprise...that, and I really would like to see how good a simulation it is. Seriously.

I am so confused right now. . .

I can never get higher than a 400. But the coolest part (if any, it is truly disturbing) is the ballistics. I had one that did much the same as the magic bullet. Not to mention the humor value if you accidentally hit the driver: the entire procession goes crazy and policemen get run over while the presidential car is stuck at a left turn and crosses dealy plaza.

No, no, no. JFK went back in time from an alternate future and shot himself from the grassy knoll. Don't you people watch Red Dwarf?
