This is one of the most unique, disturbing, short, and awesome games I've seen in a long time.

The only objective is to shoot JFK in the exact manner the Warren Commission reported that Lee Harvey Oswald did. If you do, you will help prove the "single gunman" theory and could possibly win $100,000.

Of course, it is also pretty fun to just shoot randomly and use the after-action ballistics report to see what you did.

Try shooting Jackie O's pink pillbox hat off her head without hurting anyone else ;)

I forsee a lot of controversy surrounding this.

I would've never heard about this game were it not for people whining in the first place ;)

I did it! Although the first lady of Texas slumped over dead mysteriously, but I'm going to go ahead and chalk that up to natural causes.

This game is addictive. I must have spent an hour straight trying to kill Kennedy in exactly the manner that Oswald did. First shot goes wide, second shot hits him right in the throat and injures the governor, and the third shot blows his brains out. Have I got that right? My highest score was like a 574.

HAHAHA. Funny attempted haticide story.

The limo was coming down the road. I aimed at Jackie O's hat and fired. The bullet flies through her left shoulder. Woops :( sorry O. The limo continues on. My second shot hits the back of the limo and flies off. A secret service agent runs up to the car and hops aboard. The car stops for a moment, then starts up again and races off. I aim for the hat again and fire. Blood gushes from the agent who's holding onto the back of the limo, and he tumbles off the limo and is run over by the limo just behind, which is full of secret service agents. Jackie and her hat make a getaway :(

I did it. First shot, knocked her hat clean off her head.

Caution: third shot may be gruesome

I tried to the best of my ability to recreate what Oswald did, and took screenshots.

My first shot I purposefully missed, just as Oswald missed.

Here's my second shot, from the book suppository (I was zoomed in with my scope, but you don't see that from this screen):

And as the Zagruder film recorded it:

And the aftermath:

Assuming this simulation is correct, if I was able to do it alone, I bet a Marine sharpshooter like Oswald could have done it. The grassy knoll struck me as a place where I could fire but with a much diminished accuracy.

Supposedly, the person who can most accurately recreate the assassination can win up to $100,000.

Not that I'm going in for any conspiracy theories here, but I thought I'd point out that, just because it can be done in a game doesn't necessarily mean it can be done in real life. :) If they wanted to, they could have made it possible to perform the assassination with a handgun.

Yeah I know, my statement that Oswald could have done it is contingent upon the game being accurate.

I've never been much of a conspiracy enthusiast. Games like this are fun and all, but they're best as a kind of cognitive exercise rather than surefire proof of anything.

But assuming everything (physics, distance, location, etc) is recreated aptly in the game, it lends some credence to the one-man theory even though it doesn't prove it definitively.

I think the game is very disturbing and a little sick because it it actually happend. It be like having a game to recreate the Manson murders. I wouldn't touch this game ever.

That game is entertaining in a way that I can only describe as incredibly twisted.
