John Kerry’s Medal Winning Mission Re-CreatedPosted on Monday, September 20, 2004 @ 02:03:00 pm E.S.T
Kuma Reality Games announces the first-ever realistic re-enactment of the controversial events surrounding John Kerry’s Silver Star winning swift-boat mission in Vietnam. The John Kerry mission will be available for download and play at http://www.kumawar.com on Sept. 30, 2004.
Using official government documentation and advanced 3-D gaming tools, Kuma Reality Games will put consumers in the boots of John Kerry and provide a first-hand look at the real-world events underlying the current controversy. Kuma\War will also present the two opposing viewpoints of John Kerry and the Swift Boat Veterans For Truth in their video news show through exclusive re-creations of each version of the events.
“After the Democratic Convention, John Kerry's Swift Boat missions became a centerpoint in the election,” said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality Games “But the level of rancor has been such that few of us know what is supposed to have occurred -- in anyone's version of the story. Kuma Games is in a unique position to bring clarity to ordinary people's understanding of Swift Boats, of the men who served in them, and of the events in question by letting you, as Lt. John Kerry, join Swift Boat PCF-94 during these important events.”
Based on the Navy's records of the encounter on Feb. 28, 1969, players take the role of John Kerry and lead three Swift Boats though the small tributaries deep in the Mekong Delta. As the boats come under fire from Viet Cong hiding in the nearby brush it is up to the player to steer the boats directly into the attack, go ashore, and battle enemy fighters using the every day fighting tactics Swift Boat Operators have been trained with as part of this elite force.
