Well, whaddya want? It's pretty fuckin' tasteless.

To a point, and yet quite arch. I think I like it. Though the planes start to come in so fast that the point becomes how long you can avoid losing.

I find it disturbing.

i think it's brilliant - a game where you really do feel like an utter personal failure if you don't do well.

Oh, that's ridiculous.. er.. is it just my version (browser settings) that has the instructions in French? "Use your mouse to fight the feelings of powerlessness."

Seems like a pretty good metaphor for the whole 'war on terror' thing to me.

Anyway, surely it's the same level of tastelessness as something like, for instance, Medal of Honour?

hrmm, foen try: 2811

Anyways, I wonder how many of those planes you can shoot down before you've killed more innocent people (ie hostages on the planes) than would've died if you just let the first planes go straight into the buildings.

Euh.

True...

There aren't any suicide missions nor civillian casualties in "Medal of Honor".

Wow, pathetic.
I wonder about the reaction if the game was called "Pentagon Defender" or "Pennsylvania Shootdown?"

― TOMBOT, Monday, 8 December 2003 12:54 (twenty-two years ago)

Sigh. I can't get it to work on this computer.

― THAT Kate (kate), Monday, 8 December 2003 12:56 (twenty-two years ago)

What difference does the name make? They could call it "Lobster Bisque Party" and it'd still be venomously tasteless.
