Ethnic Cleansing (2002) 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.

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. [1] They have also lobbied the Interactive Digital Software Association to encourage their members to adopt such policies. [2] The game itself was largely ignored by the gaming community and the specialized press, leaving the game with virtually no official reviews.

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 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.

Trivia

  • The game (and its sequel, White Law) can only be ordered directly from Resistance Records.
  • Stuff Magazine named Ethnic Cleansing the 40th most controversial video game of all time in January 2003.
  • The advertised "realistic negro sounds recorded on the spot with REAL niggers" are in truth ape and monkey cries. [1][2]
  • Another similar game has been recently developed by National Socialist Movement's in-house game team "Swastika Arts" called "ZOG's Nightmare", [3], which also has an upcoming sequel, [4]. Both Ethnic Cleansing and ZOG's Nightmare have similar premises. Zog's nightmare however, is much larger: (8 levels -VS- 2levels). The game was allegedly made using an FPS creation kit, FPS Creator.
