Not exactly, "They're waiting for you, Gordon, in the TEST chamber", is it?
The "Rescue the Nuke Scientist" video game, designed by the Union of Students Islamic Association, was described by its creators as a response to a U.S.-based company's "Assault on Iran" game, which depicts an American attack on an Iranian nuclear facility.
"This is our defense against the enemy's cultural onslaught," Mohammad Taqi Fakhrian, a leader of the student group, told reporters Monday...
The extra fun bit is that this was provoked by Kuma, the shovel-ware company that made that John Kerry game three years ago.

oh yeah, and i like this detail:
Fakhrian said his group was trying to market the video game first in Iran and other Muslim countries. But the group also has plans to bring the game, which comes on a CD for computers, to Western countries, he said.
"a CD for computers", you say? how extraordinary!

Yes, a CD for computational machines.

The variety with the hand-crank or the electric starter?

I'm not playing this game until it comes out for the abacus

I believe it has a push-button starting mechanism that is situated on the face of the machine, usually near the mechanized computational-CD acceptor, quite coincidentally.

how unwieldy this "CD" item is! surely there must be some faster, cheaper method of transferring software from one computer to another. If only there were some way...
Also, I like the fact that Kuma is kind of going one step beyond just dropping an Osama skin into Counterstrike. "Hey you warmonger neocon types! wanna kill some iranian towelheads without pussyfootin' around like dubya has to? well, here ya go!"
