JFK Reloaded
A “historical simulation” that, as you might have guessed, lets you play the role of Lee Harvey Oswald and pull off the most well-known assassination of recent times. Although it purports to be educational, we’re all just a little bit puzzled as to what exactly it’s supposed to teach except how to be an expert marksman. It’s also highly questionable just how much of it qualifies as a “game”, but either way, conspiracy theorists should probably not apply.
Super Columbine Massacre RPG!
Whoa. Taking a major tragedy and making a game out of it? A tragedy where games themselves were used as scapegoats? It takes irony to a whole new level. This freeware, vaguely Zelda-esque RPG puts you in the boots of the two infamous teenage mass murderers and has you relive the events of that fateful day in 1999. It’s actually a decent game with some good tongue-in-cheek humor and social commentary, but it was clearly made to offend, and succeeds amiably in that endeavor.
