Players take target practice on Sharon, Israeli leaders
The terrorist group Hezbollah, backed by Iran and based in southern Lebanon, has begun marketing a computer game simulating attacks on Israeli soldiers and allowing target practice using Israeli officials such as Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.

The game, "Special Force," took two years of development by the Hezbollah Central Internet Bureau, according to a report today in Lebanon's Daily Star.

According to the report, the game, which hit the market two weeks ago, places players in different stages of Hezbollah operations against the Jewish state. Players face the same conditions as Hezbollah terrorists, including geographic locations, mines, the number of Israeli troops and even the weather conditions. Special Force also offers a training simulation, where players can practice their shooting skills on targets such as Sharon and other Israeli political and military figures.

On the cover of the game's box, a message to users says "the designers of Special Force are very proud to provide you with this special product, which embodies objectively the defeat of the Israeli enemy and the heroic actions taken by heroes of the Islamic Resistance in Lebanon." It adds: "Be a partner in the victory. Fight, resist and destroy your enemy in the game of force and victory."

Very good to see Dragon's Lair is still alive and kicking.

There have been DVD versions of the origional two Dragon's Lair games available for some time now. You can play them with your DVD remote control. Those games were nearly impossible to get far in without dispensing many quaters back in the day. Failure in the origional games was almost more fun then sucess. The death scenes were all great.
