Playing as Kerry September 16, 2004 - by Ian Bogost Following on the ongoing controversy about John Kerry's Vietnam war record, the NY Times reports (registration required) that Kuma Reality Games will release a game later this month that allows players to play John Kerry's Swift boat missions in Vietnam. Screenshots area available here. Reports NYT,
The company says the details - complete with the fire of automatic weapons and the exploding of rocket-propelled grenades - are based on the Navy's records of an encounter on Feb. 28, 1969, for which a young Lieutenant Kerry was awarded the Silver Star. The game, scheduled to go online late this month, is primarily designed to be played from a digital Lieutenant Kerry's point of view, its creators say.
