A new on-line video game is opening old wounds from the September 11th terrorist attacks.
The Internet video game is called New York Defender II. It can be found on a French Web site under the “Chaos” category. In New York Defender II, the goal is to shoot down attacking airplanes before they crash into city landmarks.
“This is the only way you can find to make money by promoting hatred? Shame on you,” said Lee Ielpi, a retired firefighter who helped create The Tribute Center, a facility near Ground Zero that honors the victims of 9/11.Ielpi lost a son, also a firefighter, in the terrorist attacks.
The French designer of the game reportedly says that it’s impossible for someone to win the game and the goal is to show that it’s impossible to fight terrorism.
“That’s absolutely wrong,” says Ielpi.Fox News e-mailed the Web site that publishes the game but received no response.ÂÂ

“In New York Defender II, the goal is to shoot down attacking airplanes before they crash into city landmarks.”
How offensive.
The French designer of Andy reportedly says that it’s impossible for someone to reason with it and the goal is to show that it’s impossible to fight stupidity.
I’m ok with this I think but not for any particular reason. Ok mostly cause I think Ielpi really needs to get a life.
um, I think it’s defensive.
Only the French believe wars can’t be won. Maybe it’s because they have surrendered so many times and had to have their asses saved by Americans.
Sprechen Zie Francais?
reportedly. by a reporter-like report.
that andy would side with this frenchie poofter is not the least bit surprising.
we surrender andy, in the face of your unending and relentless stupidity.

You can also play “baghdad defender” and “enduring freedom”
So awful. Seeing it for myself.
Wow, the wit of Andy. Of course, I played OEF (V) and am now lining up for OIF. Wanna play?
Not sure I see this as a bad thing. I’ve played plenty of video games that re-enact WWII scenarios, MOHAA being most notable. Let’s not become a nation of the perpetually outraged, like Islam is, huh?
And Super Sarko! “use your water pressure spray to destroy firebombs.”
Won’t someone please think of the Citroens?
Dude, the third level of Call of Duty 4 on Xbox 360 is totally kicking my ass on Veteran. Microsoft and Infinity Ward obviously support global jihad.
Just another crass Frenchman. Ignore him like you *ought* to ignore andy.
The French designer of the game reportedly says that it’s impossible for someone to win the game and the goal is to show that it’s impossible to fight terrorism.
Couldn’t we just play Virtual Tic-Tac-Toe II against, eventually, a Virtual Osama bin Laden, and learn the same lesson. The same one learned by WOPR, lo those many years ago.
You’d progress through the levels by either beating increasingly competent Al Qaeda terrorists or playing long enough so that they accidentally ‘splode themselves.
I’m truly amazed, flabbergasted, ASTONISHED, that a Frenchman has declared a war unwinnable.
French Rifle: Never fired. Dropped Once.
I can’t muster teh OUTRAGE!1! for most of anything on the web now.
How about a nice game of CHESS?
Maginot Line II: Defender of France
You play the role of a Parisian city official, and you must race to provide the invading Nazis with access to top-notch food, accommodations, and local girls. But as more and more French “forces” surrender, the city increasingly overflows with Nazi troops, making it exceedingly difficult to obsequiously cater to all of them in a manner that befits their status as benign overlords. Ultimately, the game demonstrates the impossibility of being craven enough to live up to the French tradition of cowardice.
Benedick: Heh! Reminds me of the old joke:
What did the mayor of Paris say to the German officer?
“Table for 100,000 monsieur?”
Meh. Tempest. Teapot.
If the bit about the impossibility is true, then I will wittily conclude that only the French could come up with an existentialist video game.
Otherwise, who gives a rat fuck?
If your looking for even more information on PC security then I would head over here as they have plenty of stuff on identity theft, antivirus software etc.
