A British company has released a video game recreating the 1963 assassination of President Kennedy.

“A spokesman for the president’s brother, Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass., called the game ‘despicable.’ The Glasgow-based firm Traffic said “JFK Reloaded” was an educational “docu-game” that would help disprove conspiracy theories about Kennedy’s death. The game is due to be released Monday, the 41st anniversary of the shooting in Dallas. Traffic said the game challenged players to recreate the three shots fired at the president’s car by assassin Lee Harvey Oswald from the Texas School Book Depository,” The Associated Press reports.

“Traffic’s managing director, Kirk Ewing, said the game – available as an Internet download for $9.99 – would ‘stimulate a younger generation of players to take an interest in this fascinating episode of American history,’” AP reports. Full article here.

Players can win more than £50,000 if they replicate Lee Harvey Oswald’s shots, but they must be using Windows – there is no version for Mac OS X, Linux or other superior operating systems.
