Gaming News - May 2004
New York, NY (May 20, 2004) - Kuma\War has launched its newest
mission, Iran Hostage Rescue Part 2. Based on the April 24, 1980 failed attempt
to rescue 53 American hostages held in Tehran, the Iran Hostage Rescue Mission
Part 2 offers players the opportunity to execute the Pentagon’s actual plan to
storm the American embassy and to bring the hostages home.
From Kuma/War:
Based on interviews with former CIA officers and expert military analysis,
Kuma\War re-creates the Iran hostage rescue mission as it was intended to occur.
The plan was astounding: After flying from Desert One to the edge of Tehran,
dozens of US commandos would enter the embassy, neutralize the radical Iranian
students, and free the hostages. While AC-130 Spectre Gunships circled overhead,
navy helicopters were to land in the middle of the Iranian capital to evacuate
the team and the 53 hostages. Any team members left in Teheran were to fight
their way out of the area, steal cars if possible, and make their way to the
Soviet border.
“Kuma\War players will feel as if they were actual participants in this critical
event” said Keith Halper, CEO of Kuma Reality Games. “Using game tools, we make
complex and dangerous missions like the Iran Hostage Rescue mission
understandable to American citizens. I believe our players gain a keener
understanding and appreciation for the challenges and dangers our military men
and women face every day.”
In the coming weeks, subscribers can expect to receive more missions that
explore the intense battles in Fallujah, with the Sadr militia, and elsewhere in
Iraq, as well as simulating breaking news as it occurs around the world.
Kuma\War is available for download and free trial at www.kumawar.com <http://www.kumawar.com/>
and can be purchased for a $9.99 per month subscription fee. As a salute to the
men and women in uniform who have served their countries, Kuma Reality Games
will donate $1 of all paid subscriptions to The Intrepid Fallen Heroes Fund,
which was created to assist the families of the nation's fallen heroes killed in
duty.
Kuma Reality Games is offering a free subscription to Kuma\War to everyone with
a “.mil” email address until June 30th.
