Description of JFK Reloaded

No doubt one of the most controversial games ever made, JFK Reloaded is a shareware game made by a Scottish company called Traffic Management that lets you recreate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.

Released on the 41st anniversary of the assassination in 2004, the game not surprisingly provoked a huge public backlash ranging from Ted Kennedy (who called it 'despicable') to scores of media criticisms. Perhaps due to intense backlash, the game was removed from circulation in 2005, and the $9.99 shareware game is no longer sold or supported.

Let me say here first that I was concerned about whether this 40-year-old event is still 'fresh enough' in the minds of Americans for them to find the game offensive - that's why I asked people's opinions about whether they think it's a good idea to upload the full version before doing so. Anyone who finds such games offensive is advised to stop reading now. While I do find the game morally questionable, the designers deserve credits for shying away from focusing on pure 'shock value' (which would be extremely easy to do, given the circumstances) - focusing instead on the physics behind the vent.

The 'official goal' of JFK Reloaded according to Traffic is '...to debunk assassination conspiracy theories by buttressing the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and fired only three bullets.' Accordingly, the game places you in the exact spot that Oswald stood, and offers you the chance to re-create his three shots (the last of which was the one that caused 'the fatal wound'). The perfect score of 1,000 is awarded if you can replicate the three bullets' trajectories perfectly. You can replay as many times as you want.

As a simulation, JFK Reloaded is quite good: no matter how I shoot, I see bullets behave in ways that one would expect: smashing glasses, bouncing off the limo, etc. The graphics, while not state-of-the-art, is more than adequate: all passengers of the fateful limo, from JFK to his wife, driver and everyone else, are recognizable. After the event, you get a ballistics reports that tell you how your bullets traveled, and how closely they match Oswald's shots.

As a game, JFK Reloaded falls short mostly because its objective and context are far too narrow: your only objective is to recreate that tragedy. And no matter how you try to cloak it, the game's moral dimension still looms large and has a real impact; I am not American, yet I still felt my heart skip a beat when looking through the rifle scope in the game, seeing JFK's face squarely in the crosshairs.

For conspiracy buffs, though, it is an interesting 'tool' that tries to prove the feasibility of the 'magic bullet' theory, and therefore they are probably the only ones who will have 'fun' with this game that we can all do without. The 'educational value' of the game, in my opinion, is questionable, but it does try to do more than simply shock and titillate. Preserved on this site for historical value as 'abandonware' - proceed at your own risk.

Moe2019-10-12-6 points

The game is rigged to convince players that the magic bullet is possible. And the biggest clue comes from looking toward the fenced area from the infield. The hill's elevation is far too high. It makes it seem impossible to get a frontal shot. Compare to actual Dealey Plaza pics. Total misrepresentation in the game.

Having played this when it was released, it's interesting to run across it again. People were pretty upset when this first showed up but honestly it's a really interesting educational tool and I took it as such at the time, as I think a lot of other people did. Looking at it as a simulator and not a game is fairly important, but I doubt most people see any distinction, especially when this particular subject is involved.

JFK Reloaded is a historical simulation video game, designed to recreate the assassination of John F. Kennedy. It is noted for its controversial subject matter, and was released November 22, 2004 (the 41st anniversary of the event) by Scotland-based Traffic Games. The game's developers insisted their intentions were to 'bring history to life', and help prove the Warren Commission's findings.^[2]

Gameplay[edit]

JFK Reloaded puts the player in the role of Lee Harvey Oswald, who was found by five U.S. government investigations to have been Kennedy's assassin.^[3] The player is then scored on how closely their version of the assassination matches the report of the Warren Commission (first shot missed, second hit JFK and Governor Connally and third hits JFK's head and kills him). According to the company, the primary aim of the game was 'to establish the most likely facts of what happened on 1963-11-22 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 prove the Warren Commission's finding.^[2]

Players were able to submit scores, rating how close their version of events were to the Warren Commission's, for a competition that ended on February 22, 2005.^[4] The competition promised winnings of 'up to' $100,000, but the final prize was just $10,712.^[1] The competition was won by a then 16-year-old French man from Paris who went by the handle 'Major_Koenig', who posted his score one day before the competition closed.^[5] Afterwards, the competition option was disabled and the cost of the simulator was reduced to $4.99. It was later offered for free download before the official website closed in August 2005.

The game starts just before JFK's limousine comes into view—about 28 seconds before the first shot was fired according to Warren et al. The player aims and fires with the mouse, and is free to fire immediately, but points are only given for the first three shots; all others subtract points. Ammunition is limited to 39 rounds. Oswald's rifle only contained four live rounds – three were fired and the fourth was in the chamber ready to fire. Three empty brass cartridges were found near the sixth floor window of the Texas School Book Depository.

The game ends when the limo disappears into the tunnel or a certain amount of time has passed from the beginning of the game. The player can also end the simulation at any time by pressing the space bar.

Replay and ballistics[edit]

The characters of the game are called 'actors'. After the first shots that hit someone are fired, Secret Service agentClint Hill runs behind the limo, which then slows down. If the player is able to fire the third shot and hit Kennedy in the head, Jackie Kennedy climbs onto the trunk and then goes back in. The limo speeds up either after Hill jumps on the running board or four seconds pass since slowing down. The original game software had severely unrealistic ballistics which caused bullet drop in the game to be exaggerated compared to the actual ballistics of 6.5 x 52 mm ammo fired through a Carcano Model 91/38 rifle, which was used to kill JFK. A modified version of the game allows correction for this mistake in the original program and also adds shooter positions at the 'grassy knoll' and the Dal-Tex building in Dealey Plaza. Players can then view a replay of their attempts from additional angles. There are twelve different angles for the camera, including 'bullet-camera' and freely moved camera. After that, ballistics of the shots fired at the limo are shown, including their fly paths. Statistics of the game can be stored. A maximum of 1000 points can be scored. In the competition, the final highest registered score was 782 out of 1000.^[6]

Development[edit]

After working on State of Emergency, and founding Traffic studios Kirk Ewing wanted to make a smaller game based on a real-world event. After initially considering the Apollo moon landing as an option, he decided to make a game focused on the Assassination of John F. Kennedy due to the amount of information available in the Public domain and to exercise ballistics. Ewing also believe the subject had been talked about enough to warrant a video game approach to the subject matter. After approaching a friend at stainless studios about the game, they agreed to partner in its development. Leading the game to use the BRender engine. The game also decided to ignore conspiracy theories and focused instead entirely on Oswald's role as the sniper. A demo of the game was available at launch as was a full version of the game that cost $10. The competition to assassinate Kennedy as accurately as possible was devised to make people buy the full version.^[5]

Critical reaction[edit]

JFK Reloaded was condemned by the late SenatorTed Kennedy, the late President Kennedy's brother, as 'despicable'; and by Sen. Joseph Lieberman who 'was sickened by the game.'^[7] The game was also officially condemned by the Massachusetts House of Representatives.^[5] Children NOW, an organization that promotes safer media for children, dismissed Traffic Media's claims that JFK Reloaded has educational merit. Director Christy Glaubke commented 'I would think the only [lesson it teaches] is how to be an assassin.'^[7] The game, however, is explicitly not intended for children.^[8]

On Metacritic, the game achieved a score of 69/100,^[9] with some critics noting that 'the simulation, viewed on its own, is quite compelling', but that this was impeded by the lack of 'taste' in approaching the subject matter,^[10] while others said the matter was taken 'seriously', and others praising the accuracy of the simulation and the enjoyability of the gameplay detached from the subject matter.^[9]

Kirk Ewing, Traffic Software's Managing Director, said 'We genuinely believe that, if we get enough people participating, we'll be able to disprove, once and for all, any notion that someone else was involved in the assassination of President Kennedy.'^[2] He later stated in Eurogamer in 2014 that he received death threats over the game's release and that he regrets posting the prize money for the closest representation of the JFK assassination. He also believes that if he made a similar game to JFK Reloaded was released today it would be treated the same way as JFK Reloaded was in 2004.^[5]

Legacy[edit]

The game was included in ABC News's '9 Video Games That Went Too Far' list in 2009.^[11]

In popular culture[edit]

In 'Raw', a 2005 episode of Law & Order: Special Victims Unit, 'BlitzkriegKids.com', the website of a teenage neo-Nazi, has a link to the game. This catches the eye of Detective Munch, a devoted Kennedy admirer who believes many of the conspiracy theories surrounding his assassination. He asks, 'What the hell is 'JFK Reloaded'?', at which point Fin assures his partner that it is not something he wants to see.
