Galaga?

More like Robotron: 2084, it sounds like. Only with heretic Yankee infidels instead of Gort-style robots, I guess.

Islam prohibits portraiture, so any designer of a game that shows humans would find himself under a fatwa.

I think the next Big Thing in Islamic games will be First Person Suicide Bomber (FPSB) .

If you have the skilz, just take some Duke Nukem code, replace the people with Robots, but have some of the Robots wearing Bobbie Hats.

The object of the game is to see if you can make it into the Tube without being detected by the "Robots". You'd get bonus points for the number of "robots" that were disabled.

Other versions could include virtual "bomb" making and even a multi-player capability. See how many "robots" you and your friends can take with you.

If you're successful, you have a "Leisure Suit Larry" sort of ending ... but with 72 "Robots"

And, remember, folks it's just a game.

Right. Now go look what my fellow Bible-thumpers were capable of three years ago (a millenium in game development):

Woohoo!

This is actually kind of fun, if you like first-person D&D themed shooters--it just happens to show you a Bible verse whenever you pick up a healing potion. There's a demo.

If I recall correctly, after the release of America's Army Saddam ordered an Iraqi counterpart to be made. It wasn't very good.

Well, someone is bound to post this link eventually, so I'll do it: David Wong's The Ultimate War Simulation.

As a hopeless game geek and nit picker, I'd say that most closely resembles Sega's Halley Wars from the early 80's. A rare slide & shoot entry from that company. Appeared in arcades and on the Game Gear.

No big surprise. Every budding game programmer goes through a stage where they produce a so-so clone of a 25 year old game and immediately think they're ready to turn pro. Such shareware offerings used to be a good way to help finance one's CS classes but nowadays you can buy a book for $35 that gives you all the materials to create a Quake clone of your own, so any clone of a 1981 game better have a really cool twist on the theme to justify asking anyone to so much as glance at it.

I feel so dehumanized by their incisive social commentary.
