Imagine on October 11th, 2001 if someone had created a game where where the object was to prevent planes from crashing into the WTC, White House, Pentagon, or a host of other targets and get points for doing so.
Most folks would play, I’d bet. Yet it seems as if someone in the UK has done precisely this with the London Underground, and some are not happy:
In the twisted game – called Mind The Bombs – terrorists have boarded trains and you have to stop them carrying out their missions by defusing the explosives.
If you fail, the fanatics – shown travelling around the London on the famous Tube map – blow themselves to smithereens just like on 7/7.
Smoke pours from the carriages and ambulance sirens can be heard in a chilling reminder of the terror attacks which killed 52 people.
I fail to see the offense, and there are far worse games out there (technophiles will remember the uproar the Suicide Bomber Game created). You can find Mind the Bombs here.
