Traffic Games Status; Comment on Game[edit]
The last I heard, they were planning on coming out with a driving simulator next. However, I don't think they released anything since this game came out. If you go to the JFK reloaded website, it just has a single frontpage which comments on 'history' being made on November 2004 (when they released the game) and also about the 'legacy' of JFK.
I have to say -- this game sickens my heart. It really does. I realize the importance of free speech, free press, free thought, free assembly, etc. I suppose that extends to computer games as well. But ... I'm literally sad inside just writing this. I think a lot of the commentary that came out on this game wasn't from people who were even alive when the assassination happened.
The loss of the President of the United States.The loss of John F. Kennedy.The loss of the 'Kennedy' years.
Each of these was and is a tragedy. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 141.161.161.22 (talk • contribs)
- You should play it. As much as it may sicken you, you should try to realise that this is emphatically not designed to be fun. JFK Reloaded is far from a trivialisation of the events of November 22nd 1963, and to describe it as a 'game' is stretching an already abused word too far. Rather, it is a complex ballistics simulator, designed to teach the 'player' one thing: The official explanation of Kennedy's assassination is, if not physically impossible, so hard to reproduce as to be practically impossible. I admit, I'm only 25 and I'm not a US citizen, but I am interested in history and human rights, and no-one can deny Kennedy's massive influence as a force for good in the world, and the magnitude of his assassination in global terms. JFK reloaded is designed to allow the curious to investigate this seminal historical event more fully. YourMessageHere 18:51, 10 June 2006 (UTC)
- On the contrary, I find it quite fun (as did most of the other people at the forum where I got it). It's a very well designed given how limited it is, and there's a fair degree of humour to be found in the erratic AI behaviour. I actually wouldn't mind seeing a sort of 'snipers of the world' expansion with multiple scenarios. Bear in mind I'm not an American and don't care much about JFK. ShardPhoenix 12:43, 1 July 2006 (UTC)
- It may be 'fun', but it's NOT 'fun' because you're shooting JFK. That was the YMH's point, I think, and I hope you would agree. 'Playing' JFK Reloaded is not totally unpleasurable, but it's not because you're going, 'Yeah! Die you liberal bastard!' (as some people may think is the point of this game -- horrible twisted people, presumably). It's categorically NOT about that. For me, I was very happy to finally see for myself that not only was it possible for Oswald to have committed the crime, but it was also highly likely that he did. That allows me to get on with my life and stop worrying about conspiracy theories surrounding the assassination, and also mourn JFK's death without getting caught up in confusing myths. That's what I got from it, at least. Johnny 'ThunderPeel2001' Walker (talk) 15:42, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- I had thoughts similar to that of the first poster before I played the the game, but its no more than a historical study tool, me thinks. Sure, some werid people can (excuse my language) 'get off on it' but to normal people, I think its just a historical simulator. When the game first booted up, and the screen said 'Dalley Plaza, November 22rd, 1963' I got chills down my spine, and again when the motorcade came around the building. Its an absolute creepy and bizarre feeling. -- CaptainAmerica
- It's just a game..albeit a fun one considering its impossible to win. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 150.135.66.35 (talk) 04:42, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Purpose?[edit]
According to the company, the primary purpose of the game is to help prove that the Warren Commission's theory is correct, and to debunk all of the alternate theories.
That's wierd, I would think their purpose would be the exact opposite, given how hard it is to replicate the actual shots. No one won the contest, right?— Preceding unsigned comment added by Liu Bei (talk • contribs) 16:06, 7 August 2006 (UTC)
Not only did nobody win, it's actually impossible-even though Traffic Games actually CHEATED to make it easier. It's impossible to die just from a high number of wounds-you have to actually hit in a critical point. Bullets riochet more easily than they do in reality. The scope is not mis-calibrated, as Oswald's was.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.240.105.38 (talk • contribs) 12:27, 18 August 2006 (UTC)
- You're obviously not aware of the disputes surrounding the assassination. Theorists often claim that it was impossible for anyone (let alone Oswald) to have shot JFK from that angle, and that he was clearly shot from the Grassy Knoll. Not only does this simulator support the Warren Commission's findings of a 'lone gunman' shooting from the Book Depository (THAT was their finding), it was designed to do so. You've clearly missed the point of 50 year's worth of discussion by amateur theorists, if you don't understand this. Johnny 'ThunderPeel2001' Walker (talk) 15:48, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
- It's fairly obvious that Oswald's scope got mis-calibrated when he dropped the rifle and fled the scene, not beforehand. I mean, the man was a Marine sharpshooter. He knew what the fuck he was doing. 72.224.126.139 12:21, 17 August 2007 (UTC)
Non-neutral P.O.V.?[edit]
The part about Lee Harvey Oswald being kennedy's supposed assassin?
- He never went to trial, therefor, he never was convicted guilty in a court of law. He died an innocent man. He is the alleged assassin. - CaptainAmerica 04:06, 27 August 2006 (UTC)
- He can be the alleged assassin in the articles that address the assassination, but this deals with a video game where he is supposed to be the assassin. I prefer the use of 'supposed' over 'alleged'. cookiecaper (talk / contribs) 07:37, 27 August 2006 (UTC)

Conspiracy Theories and JFK Reloaded[edit]
The aim of Traffic games was to PROVE the Warren Commission's findings. This was repeatedly stated by Traffic and by Kirk Ewing in the few interviews he did. If you're convinced that this simulator DISproves the Commission's findings, you should be aware that it does NOT. The chances of repeating Oswald's fatal shot exactly are astronomically low, but that's not against the Commission's findings at all. Many conspiracy theorists refuse to believe that Oswald was even able to a) Make a shot from that distance, b) Able to even see the motorcade, c) That there was ZERO chance of the bullet taking anything anywhere near CLOSE to the official verdict. (See 'High Treason' and 'JFK'). This simulator's version of events states (if you believe its accuracy) that all of these three things were not only possible, but also highly likely. Just because no user was able to match the Commission's findings EXACTLY, does not mean the findings were false... In precisely the same way that no two users got EXACTLY the same results in the JFK Reloaded competition (there was only one winner, who scored 783 out of 1000), the chances of the bullet hitting precisely the same path is RANDOM. Just because you, dear reader, cannot repeat the exact same shot that the winning user, 'Major Koenig', did, doesn't mean that he didn't do it! (Obviously.) So to repeat: This game categorically confirms the findings of the Warren Commission. It was designed to do so. If you don't believe it does, then you are saying that the simulation itself is flawed (which may well be the case -- I'm not in any position to say you're wrong), but not the simulation's findings. I hope that's clear to all the conspiracy theorists. Johnny 'ThunderPeel2001' Walker (talk) 15:35, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
Oswald and 'allegedly'[edit]
Re this edit: the reason why the plaque on the Book Depository uses the word 'allegedly' is because Oswald died before a trial could take place, and a commission or inquiry cannot produce a guilty verdict. The word 'allegedly' is not ideal on Wikipedia because it can be seen as casting doubt on the statement. However, it is important not to imply that Oswald was ever found guilty in a court of law.--♦IanMacM♦(talk to me) 06:29, 10 March 2015 (UTC)

Description of JFK Reloaded Windows
Read Full DescriptionNo doubt one of the most controversial games ever made, JFK Reloaded is a shareware game made by a Scottish company called Traffic Management that lets you recreate the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
Released on the 41st anniversary of the assassination in 2004, the game not surprisingly provoked a huge public backlash ranging from Ted Kennedy (who called it 'despicable') to scores of media criticisms. Perhaps due to intense backlash, the game was removed from circulation in 2005, and the $9.99 shareware game is no longer sold or supported.

Let me say here first that I was concerned about whether this 40-year-old event is still 'fresh enough' in the minds of Americans for them to find the game offensive - that's why I asked people's opinions about whether they think it's a good idea to upload the full version before doing so. Anyone who finds such games offensive is advised to stop reading now. While I do find the game morally questionable, the designers deserve credits for shying away from focusing on pure 'shock value' (which would be extremely easy to do, given the circumstances) - focusing instead on the physics behind the vent.
The 'official goal' of JFK Reloaded according to Traffic is '...to debunk assassination conspiracy theories by buttressing the Warren Commission's conclusion that Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone and fired only three bullets.' Accordingly, the game places you in the exact spot that Oswald stood, and offers you the chance to re-create his three shots (the last of which was the one that caused 'the fatal wound'). The perfect score of 1,000 is awarded if you can replicate the three bullets' trajectories perfectly. You can replay as many times as you want.
As a simulation, JFK Reloaded is quite good: no matter how I shoot, I see bullets behave in ways that one would expect: smashing glasses, bouncing off the limo, etc. The graphics, while not state-of-the-art, is more than adequate: all passengers of the fateful limo, from JFK to his wife, driver and everyone else, are recognizable. After the event, you get a ballistics reports that tell you how your bullets traveled, and how closely they match Oswald's shots.

As a game, JFK Reloaded falls short mostly because its objective and context are far too narrow: your only objective is to recreate that tragedy. And no matter how you try to cloak it, the game's moral dimension still looms large and has a real impact; I am not American, yet I still felt my heart skip a beat when looking through the rifle scope in the game, seeing JFK's face squarely in the crosshairs.
For conspiracy buffs, though, it is an interesting 'tool' that tries to prove the feasibility of the 'magic bullet' theory, and therefore they are probably the only ones who will have 'fun' with this game that we can all do without. The 'educational value' of the game, in my opinion, is questionable, but it does try to do more than simply shock and titillate. Preserved on this site for historical value as 'abandonware' - proceed at your own risk.

Moe2019-10-12-6 points
The game is rigged to convince players that the magic bullet is possible. And the biggest clue comes from looking toward the fenced area from the infield. The hill's elevation is far too high. It makes it seem impossible to get a frontal shot. Compare to actual Dealey Plaza pics. Total misrepresentation in the game.

Having played this when it was released, it's interesting to run across it again. People were pretty upset when this first showed up but honestly it's a really interesting educational tool and I took it as such at the time, as I think a lot of other people did. Looking at it as a simulator and not a game is fairly important, but I doubt most people see any distinction, especially when this particular subject is involved.
