3. Kaboom: The Suicide Bombing Game (2002)
Yeah, it's only a browser game and it looks like someone created the graphics on an echaskech, but the premise of the game it pretty grim. If you can't guess from the title alone and you really should be able to figure it out the game is about suicide bombing. The aim is to rack up the highest score by trying to gather the largest number of civilians to blow to high heaven. While like I said the graphics look absolutely damn terrible, almost laughable if the content wasn't so awkward to look at. It's just how - frankly - sicking the idea is. Maybe - and I'm a true believer - in the fact that laughting and joking about the horrors we've faced is an effective method to overcome them this game could be seen as a positive thing. However, the fact isn't lost on me that this game is pretty damn offensive not only to other affected by attacks, but to the Palestinian community. After all, where are all the other ethnicities?
