Iran Unveils ‘Rescue the Nuke Scientist’ Anti-U.S. Video Game, A Sort Of Creative Response To ‘Assault on Iran’

A student group in Iran spent 3 years to make “Rescue the Nuke Scientist’ video game, a sort of creative response to the “Assault on Iran” by New York Kuma Reality Games.

In “Rescue the Nuke Scientist,” U.S. troops capture a husband-and-wife team of nuclear engineers during a pilgrimage to Karbala, a holy site for Shiite Muslims, in central Iraq. Game players take on the role of Iranian security forces carrying out a mission code-named “The Special Operation,” which involves penetrating fortified locations to free the nuclear scientists, who are moved from Iraq to Israel.

It appears that this video game is FPS-styled and the leader of the student group is optimistic that they can market the FPS first in Iran, then other Muslim countries, with Western countries getting the game on nice CD packaging. Pretty enterprising eh?
