Ethnic Cleansing (2002) it is a controversial computer game developed by Resistance Records, an underground music label specializing in Neo-Nazi and white supremacist bands. In the game, the protagonist (the player can choose either a skinhead or a Klansman) runs through a ghetto killing black people and Latinos, before descending into a subway system to kill Jews. Finally he reaches the "Jewish Control Center", where Ariel Sharon, former Prime Minister of Israel, is directing plans for world domination. The player must kill Sharon to win the game.

The game was developed using Genesis 3D, an open source game engine.

[edit] Controversy

The Anti-Defamation League publicized the existence of the game and unsuccessfully lobbied the developers of Genesis3D to change their licensing conditions to prohibit the use of the engine to develop racist games. They have also lobbied the Interactive Digital Software Association to encourage their members to adopt such policies.

Resistance Records intends to create a similar line of games based on the events of the Turner Diaries.

A sequel called White Law was released by the same developer in June 2003 [1] with a similar premise, where the player assumes the role of a police officer going postal. It, however, attracted much less attention than Ethnic Cleansing.

[edit] Trivia

  • The game (and its sequel, White Law) can only be ordered directly from Resistance Records.
  • Although the advertisements of the game claimed that it features "realistic negro sounds recorded on the spot with REAL niggers", the sounds are in reality ape and monkey cries, belying their belief that humans of African descent have genetic backgrounds closer to that of the great apes than other members of their own species, rejecting general scientific evidence.[citation needed][2][3]
