The Benefits of a Cleric-Run, Religous-Maniac Culture: Islamic Videogame Company Invents Galaga In 2005

A crude and primative looking game. Go figure. Discovered in post 7/7 raids in Britain.

Your mission, as an Islamist freedom fighter, is to to destroy the robots of the last non-believer left in the universe.

I guess it's good that you're killing robots rather than people... although a cynic might say that choice was driven more by technical incompetence at rendering the human form than out of a respect for human life.

And an ultracynic might say that the casting the infidels as robots is just an attempt to further dehumanize the enemies of Islamist crazies.

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.

FDA is providing an update regarding the sample of lettuce supplied by Taylor Farms de Mexico which was reported positive on July 18, 2026. Due to the complexity in detection of Cyclospora, FDA laboratory experts re-reviewed the sample results and have concluded that the finding does not represent true amplification and should be considered a false positive. Information about the sample has been removed from the July 18, 2026, update below. FDA has notified Taylor Farms and continues working with the firm to ensure product implicated in this outbreak has been removed from the market. FDA and state partners continue to collect and analyze product samples. As of July 19, 2026, there are no confirmed positive sample results for product testing for Cyclospora.

In response to someone asking why the video tape doesn't show Tyler Robinson's face (PS, it does, but it's crappy video so it's blurry):

Candace Owens
@RealCandaceO

Because as I demonstrated on my show, there were MANY young men that all woke up and decided to dress in Maroon shirts and light shorts on the day of the Charlie's assassination.

The footage can be any one of these young men and in my opinion is likely multiple of them.

If Tyler Robinson's defense would like to contact me-- I'd be happy to supply them the folder of the maroon boys that I began archiving when I noticed the bizarre fashion trend.

I have thus far ID'd two of them, but will focus on IDing the rest of them when I am back on air.

I have maintained that the Feds had multiple decoy maroon boys on the ground that day. Without a clear image, they certainly cannot declare it is Tyler Robinson which is why all the Zionist influencers are hoping they can simply hypnotize the public into trusting blurry images and videos.
For such an "open and shut case" they have thus far provided ZERO evidence of anything outside of a criminal government conspiracy, the likes of which hasn't been seen since the JFK assassination.
