[Indysocialist]

[Osman Ghazi]

I've played Guerilla War before. Ah, those were the days.
The best thing about it was that if you died, you could always continue.

[FatFreeMilk]

So it's "Based on the the revolutionary war of Cuba against the Padista Empire that ocured in the 1950s"? Funny, I always thought it was Batista.

Is it for like nintendo or something?

[FatFreeMilk]

* ebay search :lol:
it's selling for $0.01 .

[Lardlad95]

my game was cooler

[ComradeRed]

Damn, i want it! What words did u use while searching on e-bay?

[ComradeRed]

never mind, i found it.

[Anarchist Freedom]

this is an awsome game lol.



:che:

CGLM! (http://www.cglm.tk)

[che's long lost daughter]

Oh yeah, capitalizing on Che's memory again...

[Fidel Castro]

Oh yeah, capitalizing on Che's memory again...

BINGO!

[Yazman]

It is incredible, the amount of people who use Che's image in order to make a few bucks.

Che would most certainly not be happy!

[RedAnarchist]

Che would be angry that people even elevate him above others as well. He was a great person, but still equal to all.

[Commandante Che Guevara]

this game is very funny

[Marxist in Nebraska]

I KNEW IT!!!

I have Guerrilla War for my old Nintendo. I play it every couple of months. For the last couple of years, I have muttered to myself as I made my way through the game about how it was a ripoff of the Cuban Revolution.

[MiniOswald]

[/QUOTE]Japanese version of Guerrilla War. The story was altered for the American version to just overthrowing a king.[QUOTE
lol the yanks are afraid of the tinyist things, and talking of googling things put fidel in google images for a laugh :lol:

[Le Libérer]

I wouldnt worry that the developers made alot of money on it. lol
It was out in 1987, and sells for a penny. ;)

[bubbrubb]

i wonder if it is any good
:blink:

[SittingBull47]

They should make a real game like that, like something for X-Box/PS2 or the next gen consoles. How awesome would it be to be a guerrilla fighting alongside Che in the battles of the Cuban Revolution? That game would make an awesome shooter and can demonstrate the military genius Che displayed if done properly.

[Hate Is Art]

meh, we don't need a Che Game, if it was made they should sell it very cheaply, non profit.

[Kurai Tsuki]

The game can easilly be found in rom form, just run a search for "guerilla war rom" and if you dont have one already, "nes emulator" to play it.

But then he'd see the wicked cool videogame, overthrow the 'Padista' regime a few times and maybe, just maybe he's be less irate about the juvenile videogame, it's not like anyone bought the game anyway...

[Lacrimi de Chiciură]

every revolutionary needs his own video game :ph34r:

Or...
Make a game based on a guerilla war, and the player, to succeed in his missions, must recruit and train fighters, create propaganda etc, and make it so the player must follow the basic principles of Guerilla Warfare as dictated by Che.
Perhaps a way to show his genious, but not commercialize him (to a large extent).

[Take the Power back]

If such a game was to be mass-produced, there would be boycotts. The makers would have thousands of complaints. In this day and age of terrorism, they'd be too afraid to deal with anything having to with guerrilla warfare or fighting a government. To put it another way, people hate GTA because you are a rebel without a cause, but they let it go anyway. If you all of the sudden become a rebel with a cause, it is ten times worse to those people, because it might be teaching you something. Mostly soccer moms with nothing to do, but with all of this censorship going on, and about to happen, who knows who would support banning these types of games. Zapatista207, great idea, by the way.

[Zapatista207]

But it doesn't have to be mass-produced.

Is anyone here familiar with the concept of mods? It is the modification of a current game (or more specifically, game engine) to something different. It is created by a group of people with knowledge of the tools needed to create games. These can be anyone with the proper skills. A good example of a mod is the game Counter-Strike. It was based off of the Half-Life game engine, and is now sold as retail.

Perhaps this concept would be best created as one of these mods. The mod is freely distributed from a website, therefore there is no profit for the bourgeois capitalists, and we, the people, can get a great game. And I don't think anyone has EVER protested a mod, because most people aren't familiar with the concept of modding.

As well with the production of a mod, there are no deadlines, nobody breathing down your neck to get it done, nobody telling you to change this or change that. With a mod, we can stay true to the original vision and not be protested/boycotted because of it.

[MiniOswald]

Zapatista thats a damn good point about a mod, in fact I dont think anyone can boycott a mod can they?

[Zapatista207]

As far as I know, it is impossible to boycott a mod, as it is freely distributed. If you really needed the protection of something like that, you could put a condition in the License Agreement (nobody ever reads it anyways).

Very few people would take the time to boycott a mod anyways, as the audience is usually MUCH smaller than retail games. Consider the fact that retail games can, if the game is good, sell millions of copies in a year. Mods on the other hand, can expect through its lifetime, if it's good, anywhere from 5000 to 50 000 downoads. The occasional mod, with a high selling parent game, can hit 1 000 000 downloads. But that is VERY rare, and usually takes very long, say, a few years.

Anyways, I could ask around in some of the mod forums I frequent and see whether or not it is feasible, or possible, to boycott a mod.

[antieverything]

Boycotting something that is free to begin with makes no sense at all...holy shit!

[seen_che]

Che would be angry that people even elevate him above others as well. He was a great person, but still equal to all.

Che woulden´t even like it if people weared a t-shirt whit him on it.......................

[Neelie The Great]

OO, Thats cool. I want it.... just a problem, My original Nintendo isn't working... :angry:

Your a dickhead.

Yeah, lets all fanasise about being with che and killing loads of cappies, and if che dies, no problem, well just hit 'replay'!! That is why this game and any incarnation is and would be bad. Not only does it capitalize on the memory of all lost comrades, but it also trivializes revolution and to me at lesast shows what a materialstic youth we are. We are having an increasingly decreased grip on reality!!! thats why capitlaism and the new-right is increasing, we shrink into our individualist shell of computergames and spoonfed information, and it makes me sick to see people, supposedly with a social consience spurt shit like this!!!

[RedAnarchist]

Computer games and the like are tools of capitalism. They can be addictive, and when people are caught in the addiction their creativity is being stunted, their eyesight is not being helped and they become mindless zombies who only exist to sleep, eat and play video games.

This game is just as bad as the capitalist exploitation of Che's face on clothing and other material goods.

[DaCuBaN]

True, however a mod doesn't fall into that category at all.

Firstly, to be a succesful mod the game has to be open source and the mod itself distributed freely - so no profits go to to anyone in the name of Ché.

I'm fucking sick of being told that what I do is the tool of capitalism :rolleyes:
Anything that has any addictive qualities at all, be they physical or otherwise would fall into that category. Hell, I could argue that helping people is addictive.

as for creativity being stunted? sure if all you do is play the damn things you're not being very creative, but playing games is for the little ones after all. And a game that teaches you to hate imperialism - is that such a bad thing? Most adults who continue to play computer games also get involved in the development of them. So do some research please before you go tarring everyone with the same brush ;) :P

[spirit_of_1916]

can i download it. If so where from?
see what all the fuss is about.

Thats captialism for you.

[LightningCount]

I like the idea and it's a japanese developed game not american.If you think it's just marketing his image for money then you should not have any shirts or posters or flags of el che.I live in the god forsaken U.S.A. an when I where my shirt of Comandante Guevara I where it with pride in the face of all these flag waving Imbecilic americans knowing that its's my banner our banner companero's and a symbol of hope to those who think like us that there is still some people in the world who belive in what Che died for. His image is powerful the first image I recall of seeing him was when my family went down to mexico dont worry I'm mexican I didn't go down there to get drunk on spring break like those stupid yuppie kids, so I was in mexico an seen his picture spray painted on a wall.Through the years I seen him more an more which led to me learning about him. Keep him alive in the minds of the people in any manner which is exactly what the capitalist tried to stop by murdering him even in death they are so afraid of him an his ideals everyone that visits this site minus the cappies that come here are a threat to the Yankee way just by our ideals.

And the last thing, We live in a generation of videogames and I for one am sick of the americans being heroes in video games and movies where are our heroes! Don't let them erase them from history I'd rather have my kids(when I have them)wanting to be Che while they play a game with him in it then have them playing Americas Army or some propaganda like that. IMITATION IS THE HIGHEST FORM OF ADMIRATION. If you read all that Thanks ;)

You're dumb. The game is kinda silly, but it's not a tool of capitalism, you fool! Jesus Christ, you make it sound like video games are things that the capitalist fat cat slavemasters came up with so as to keep the proletariat oppressed or something. Haha, maybe Marx should change his quote to "Video games are the opiate of the people," huh, Xphile? Go write a poem about how Che's image is being subverted by the evil video games.

[Mano Dayak]

If it'd be on PC, I'd buy it immediately!!!

[RedAnarchist]

Lefty, criticise all you want, but anything made by a capitalist usually gives them money from the sellings of those products. They fund capitalist companies.

[RedAnarchist]

Well, unless its free of course. Oops.

[ZeroPain]

If its free it can be used to tell more of public about Che and ect. nothing will ever change in amerca as it is since all people hear is shit on CNN and FOX but a video game might make a huge differance i dont care if capatilist make it, even if they wanted to it would only aid aginst them plus :D it would be fun to play ;)

[DaCuBaN]

and this is why the extreme right made a game... I can't remember what it's called, but you run around the streets of the city performing 'cleansing'

I never played it as my community refused to distribute it (for obvious reasons) but other than it's implied content it would probably be quite interesting.

[ZeroPain]

yea i heard about that also i think i was a hit with the christian gaming league who think the sims is innaproprate but this game would have some action most people would get it with no idea who Che is and come out of the game with a new understanding.

[DaCuBaN]

I quite liked Command and Conquer Generals. The game was politically incorrect enough to receive a ban in Germany :lol: :D

Basically the americans are so ridiculously pompous and the Global Liberation Army (iraqi's - no question tbh) are running around saying things like 'can i have some shoes please'

touchy stuff ;)

[ZeroPain]

any one ever played republic the revolution?

[ZeroPain]

well i suppose not :P its not really a good game at all its kinda boreing and you dont acculy do anything but its a good warning not to buy it

"I'm fucking sick of being told that what I do is the tool of capitalism "
Amen. AC Socialist, you're trying to hard to be outraged to the point of blind ignorance. It is clear and simple that I am not a member of the "new right wing" And the idea that my social conscience is corrupt because I think a kick ass left wing videogame would rock my socks off is laughable. It is merely my opinion that a game would be cool. I don't give a fuck if you think different, to each his own.

[emmissary]

I think Che might have found it funny at first.
