This is a controversial game, and for good reason. However, I think it's interesting enough to post here.

It can be downloaded from http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?jmnmmjykid1 along with some tweaks I made for it.

To quote the Wiki article:

"JFK: Reloaded is an edutainment first-person shooter video game recreating the John F. Kennedy assassination. The game was released November 21, 2004 (the day before the 41st anniversary of the event) by Scotland-based Traffic Games, JFK: Reloaded puts the player in the role of Kennedy's alleged 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 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 support or disprove the Warren Commission's findings."

Dismissing the fact that the Warren Commission's findings are now known to be flawed and corrected medical evidence of the bullet paths exists, it is still an interesting concept.

Here's a video of my best efforts, from the Book Depository. (The music was a mod I was testing and is not normally in the game)

And for you conspiracy people, here's some with the mods I made activated.

This game looks brutal...

No more so then the actual event.

Compared to most games out there, this is tame. The only real difference is that it's based on an actual person. It's interesting to see the different ways people take it mentally compared to similar "non real" games.
 
I remember playing this like a year ago. It was entertaining, but in a morbid curiosity sort of way.

It's got a large subculture, including me, into modifying it to be more accurate, to try different locations, and others things. I've also made a mod for the free game SCMRPG, but that's for another time.
