Outrage as players compete for €75,000 to recreate JFK assassination

A CONTROVERSIAL new computer “docu-game” that lets players fire the fatal assassination shots at John F Kennedy from the Texas Book Depository over and over again has been branded “despicable” by aides to the late president’s brother.

Glasgow-based firm Traffic, which has launched JFK: Reloaded 41 years after the president’s death in Dallas, is offering up to €75,000 for the first person to most accurately recreate the three shots fired by Lee Harvey Oswald.

The product, which can be downloaded from www.jfkreloaded.com, recreates JFK’s last moments and, according to Traffic, challenges players to help disprove any conspiracy theory by recreating the shots fired from the sixth floor of the Dallas book repository.
