WAR AGAINST TERROR it`s EASY LIKE A PIN BALL GAME
War-Against-Terror.info is a browser-based game modeled after the classic arcade game, Breakout, in which a player launches a ball to destroy bricks and must prevent it from contacting the bottom of the screen by deflecting it with a paddle. In this version, the ball is a missile, the paddle is a U.S. fighter jet, and the objective is destroy an Iraqi military base located in the top layer of bricks. However, despite a player's best efforts, the missiles always destroy cultural sites and civilians in front of the military base, and often bypass the fighter jet paddle, destroying the New York City skyline on the bottom of the screen.
"The anti-war project War-Against-Terror.info is a computer game that reveals the mechanics of the "war against terror" through a classic nineteen eighties computer game called wall breaker."

"War Against Terror is an online video game recently included in the 2005 Web Biennial.
Formatted as if it were featured in a news broadcast system, participants are asked to adopt the position of the aggressor in a perpetual and self-inflicted conflict. Familiar symbols of the U.S. campaign in Iraq are contrasted with an urban (NYC) skyline. When missiles are launched, they are deflected and ultimately destroy the civil monuments the user seeks to protect. War Against Terror mimics the militaristic subtext that is often a component in contemporary video game culture and suggests that violence is never a singular occurrence."
