Any game which simulates real-world events is inherently political. A
typical example of this is "Sim City", where your city's success is
dependent on certain sociopolitical assumptions that are, in the real
world, still subject to a lot of debate.

War simulations are no less political. The more representational (of
real-world nations and events) the simulation is, the more political it
is. The "Special Force" game seems especially political because the
protagonist (and the game designers) are "the bad guys", but games made
by "the good guys" are political, too. There are countless games where
the goal is to defeat The Soviet Union, the Nazis, etc.

There's a *huge* number of games where the goal is to defeat
Hezbollah-like groups, as the "Special Force" creators are quick to
note:

To muddy the "good guy/bad guy" waters a little bit, there was a popular
game a few years ago in which you played a Russian soldier and the
enemies were Chechen terrorists. Or Chechen freedom fighters.

In the art/game area, John Klima's "Serbian Skylight" and "The Great
Game" used video game motifs to explore the politics of war.

I used to be a nationally-ranked online Quake player, but when it comes
to playing war simulation games in which I am fighting my way through a
poor village on our own planet Earth, fighting other human beings, using
real-world weapons (as opposed to plasma rifles), the politics of the
simulation usually becomes too much for me.

Some research on the origin of chess consider it derived from Indian race/war
games with all types of the Indian military forces on the board - chariots,
elephants, cavalry and infantry. The transformation to castles and knights
reprents a tranformation to the political structures of the western world. To
change the Indian war game into chess it was also necessary to throw away the
dice. Which not only changed the game, but one of its basic Indian philosophic
principles - the principle of Karma - and replaced it with freedom of choice.

I am here going to reveal the lamest side of my own geekhood.

I was just thinking about how in the "Civilization" video game series, Civ 2
has a form of government you can choose called "Fundamentalism" in which
your people have low war weariness, but you have extremely low ability to
research new science. The fundamentalist government also, if I recall
correctly, had the option of "espionage" that went beyond other civs,
including blowing up specific targets within enemy cities, all the way up to
a secret nuclear detonation.

In Civiliation 3- which came out after 9/11- they removed it, citing game
balance issues, though in the mod community a lot of people have made them-
as well as programmed the option of terrorist attacks into the game. [A very
obvious loophole I think the game designers intended, as the mod program
allows you to "render invisible" and "hide nationality" of any unit you are
building.] In Civ 2, it was interesting that you could compare democracy and
fundamentalism as governments and play as either one, whereas in Civ 3,
democracy is almost an unstoppable form of government.

The Civ 3 Mod Community is actually really fascinating for the large amount
of fascists who invest a lot of time into animations of Hitler, rendering
real-scale maps, etc; but also for how people program the different types of
governments. I remember one where you could download almost 32 new
governments, from Anarcho-Socialism [his obvious utopia] to Capitalistic
Democracy.
