Video game allows you to take aim at JFK
Nov. 22, 2004: A video game, released in 2004 to coincide with the 41st anniversary of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, let players recreate the shooting in Dallas and earn points depending on how accurately their shots match the official version of events as documented by the Warren Commission, which probed the assassination.
“JFK Reloaded” was called “despicable” by a spokesman for Massachusetts Sen. Edward Kennedy, the late president’s brother who is now deceased.
“We believe that the only thing we’re exploiting is new technology,” said a spokesman for the game’s parent company.
Players, who took on the role of assassin Lee Harvey Oswald, lost points if they hit first lady Jacqueline Kennedy.
