That's just awesome.  I didn't know they had electricity in the Stone Age.

[DicedT]

Nor video games. I described the Al Qaeda game as looking like a bad copy of Space Invaders, but that's not quite the analogy I wanted. What bad video game does it most resemble?

[bayonetbrant]

it's like a non-scrolling River Raid

[Gusington]

It does look like River Raid but far less advanced. I love 1982!

[Keunert]

it is just a mod of the infamous Afghan Jihad 1979, an arcade shooter that was quite popular in the cafe's of Herat during the early 80's.

[DicedT]

That's fascinating, Keunert. Do you have any more details on the old game?

Michael

[Gusington]

Keunert are you serious?

[Barthheart]

I think Kenny's yanker yer chains gentlemen.... :P

[DicedT]

I'm such an infidel dupe.

With Kenny it's tough to be sure. He likes to come out of nowhere, utter something obscure, profound, and plausible all at the same time.

And he actually produces gems just infrequently enough to keep you guessing.

I'm thinking he's kidding here but anyone who carries a rabbit head around for good luck should not be underestimated.

Although I haven't been to Mali, I've been to N. Pakistan and the FATA.  The absence of visible powerlines led me to believe that perhaps they had developed superior wireless technology?
