A recommended video game

Back in 1988, there came a game that dealt, even if only on a simple level, with Islamic terrorism: Operation Thunderbolt. Here's a video I've found of it (Amiga version):

This is the second of at least 4 lightgun games Taito Corp built in past years with the name "Operation". According to Arcade History, it's loosely based on the Entebbe operation in 1976. Maybe just as interesting is that this game was designed by a company whose founder was Michael Kogan, a Russian Jewish businessman working in Japan in the early 1950s.

I consider this game very recommended for anyone looking for a game that takes on as bold a subject as this one does. If you know how to use an emulator system, you can download the game at Cool Rom.
