JFK, all the way

I've been playing a game called JFK Reloaded a lot lately. It's an abandonware simulator that takes you back to the day President Kennedy was assassinated, and you get to play as Lee Headshot Harvey Oswald. The object of the game is to recreate the assassination exactly the way it happened, misses and everything. After a while, the screen fades into a rotatable model of the car, and you can see each shot and how it enters, at what angle, etc.

I've been doing other things though. I like to pick off the limo driver as he rounds the corner, then the limo agent, then Governor Connally, his wife, the First Lady, then finally JFK. The car behind it carries the Vice President, his wife, a senator, and a bunch of other various people.

They all sit there and look around clueless, and they all die one by one. I start getting less picky about who dies next. Even a photographer gets popped. The simulation obviously deducts massive amounts of points from my "score".

You can download it here for free. I think this simulation is how the Kennedy assassination should be taught in schools. Maybe I'm just sick in the head, but it's a lotta fun!

    This is a Solid way to learn history first hand. I think we should do these kind of programs for wars and rape as well.

    18 shooters, 28 bullets, 14 directions, two time travelers, 2 magic bullets, one bomb under the car that didn't explode, 3 fake JFK's and no calories.

    I remember doing a mock trial for Lee Harvey Oswald in grade 8. We got him acquitted.

    Might check out the game for shits and giggles.
