From 2004: "JFK: Reloaded"

[Occulus]

:wow: I had never heard of this.

JFK: Reloaded is an edutainment first-person shooter video game, widely accepted as the world's first docu-game, that recreates the John F. Kennedy assassination. The game was released November 21, 2004 (one day before the 41st anniversary of the event) by Scotland-based Traffic Software (aka Traffic Games), JFK: Reloaded puts the player in the role of Kennedy's assassin Lee Harvey Oswald. The player is then scored on how closely one's version of the assassination matches the report of the Warren Commission. According to the company, the primary aim of the game was "to establish the most likely facts of what happened on November 22, 1963 by running the world’s first mass-participation forensic construction", the theory being that a player could help prove that Lee Harvey Oswald had the "means and the opportunity to commit the crime", and thus help support or disprove the Warren Commission's findings.

Sometime in early August 2005, the official website closed, but not before offering version 1.1 free to the public.

Well then. I haven't played it- yet- but it's still....... interesting. And morbidly fascinating.

1. I recall when this came out

There was a big stink about it, a lot of people were real upset. I've never tried it... I am curious but, I really just don't want to try it.

That said. I don't object to it existing and have no problem with anyone wanting to try it. I don't think it promotes or endorses actually killing anyone, I don't think it reflects a persons politics. I can definitely understand the curiosity to just see for yourself if the shots can be made.
