A fired bullet's approach stage of its path appears as a green line while purple lines represent the part of a bullet's path where it has ricocheted. Once the player has ended the replay, a ballistics summary is presented that allows players to rotate the president's limo and view the ballistics of each round fired. Additionally, a slider allows players to quickly jump to specific moments of the replay. Replays can be paused, rewound, or viewed in slow motion. A handful of different viewing options are available, or the player can choose their own camera angle. After the simulation begins, players are free to act.Īfter the simulation has been completed or times out, the player is able to view an instant replay of the events. The simulation begins as the president's motorcade turns onto Houston street, roughly 28 seconds before the first shot is fired. Clicking the right mouse button allows players to look through the rifle's scope, and clicking the left mouse button fires the weapon. Players aim their crosshairs using the mouse, but are unable to move as in most first person games. As the game starts, players find themselves viewing Dealey Plaza through the eyes of Oswald on the 6th floor of the Texas Schoolbook Depository. A prize of $10,712 was awarded and the simulation was re-released with the competition mode disabled.Īlthough played from the first person perspective, JFK Reloaded can't really be called a first person shooter. On February 22, 2005, the competition closed as a user obtained a high score of 782 out of 1000. Upon entering the contest, players would begin the simulation and have their score uploaded to the game's website.
In the original release of the game, players could enter a contest to win up to $100,000. Points are awarded depending on how closely they recreated the actual assassination in factors such as shot fatality, shot timing, number of shots, etc., as well as losing massive points if, for example, JFK survives or Jackie Kennedy is killed.
Kennedy's assassination, JFK Reloaded challenged players across the world to take part in "the world’s first mass-participation forensic reconstruction." Players are scored on a scale of 0-1000, although it is possible to have negative points. Released on November 22, 2004, the 41st anniversary of John F.
