Some of you may recall my review of [JFK Reloaded](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=370213&highlight=reloaded). Well, in the same vein of disasteful games, I present to you… [Super Columbine Massacre RPG!](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Super_Columbine_Massacre_RPG%21). If this sort of thing is your bag, go to the bottom of my linked article and follow the breadcrumbs. I admit that I downloaded it, mainly because I find it to be extremely subversive and rebellious to do so, but I have the feeling that when I do play it it’ll be like watching the Budd Dwyer video: so disturbing that I wish I had never seen it, but so compellingly creepy that I can’t turn away. Just as I did previously, I leave it for you people to decide. I’ll be back with my thoughts on the game in a bit. ---

Given that it was developed by one guy using an off-the-shelf RPG maker, I see it as the SNES RPG geek equivalent of someone writing a pro-Columbine essay on a personal blog. I mean, not even Rockstar Games would do anything this tacky… ---

Eh. It doesn’t cross the line into outrage for me, but then i’m pretty morbid. I don’t think i’ll play it, though. ---

As I suspected, while not particularly graphic, the game is creepy. Lots of screeds and bitterness with some extremely ironic statements (clearly the author’s own) about things in general. Like music: one of the comments goes to how music will be blamed for the massacre. There are others like that scattered throughout, and I’m just getting started. Also, it has some interesting character names. Like “Openly Gay Guy”, who takes the least amount of damage and thus far always gives Klebold and Harris a hot dog. Yes, you read that correctly. There’s also churchgoers who get hit points back by praying, jock-types, nerds, cherubic girls, etc. Yeah, I guess this guy figured that if he was going to offend he was going all the way. Anyway, it’s a Final Fantasy-type game, and kinda boring to boot. Were it not for the creepiness factor I probably would have turned it off by now. But I can’t because apparently you have to fight your way through Hell sooner or later. As an added bonus, one of the weapons you can get is Napalm. No, I’m not quitting. I’ve gone too far to turn back now. I’m a sick, sick man. ---

I think it looks really interesting after reading what the creator intended. I think I’ll wait till after I play it to really judge it. ---

Huh. I was half-kidding in my previous post, but as it [turns out](http://www.cnn.com/2006/WORLD/americas/09/14/montreal.shooting/index.html)… > [@](#): > > One of Gill’s postings said he liked to play “Super Columbine Massacre,” an Internet-based game that simulated the April 20, 1999, shootings by two students at a Colorado high school that left 13 people dead, The Associated Press reported. (to anyone not watching the news, or at least the International stories, I’m referring to the school shooting in Montreal) ---

I kid you not, I hadn’t even thought about the timing on this. ---

From the Wiki link: > [@](#): > > The game begins its second part at this point, with the player taking control of Klebold alone, as he finds himself in Hell. **Unlike the first half of the game, this segment departs from historical accounts as they are believed to have occurred** , as the player makes his way through Hell while fighting off various demons and monsters from the computer game Doom. After reuniting with Harris, the two joyfully proclaim their excitement at the prospect of living out their favorite video game. [_emphasis added_] Hmm… You don’t say.
