NK News reported:
A North Korean company recently released a 3D shooting game called “Hunting Yankee,” state-run outlet Arirang-Meari reported on Friday.
“The 3D-amusement entertainment program ‘Hunting Yankee’ is a fighting game of shooting and knocking down Yankees with a sniper gun… behind enemy lines,” Arirang-Meari reported.
At first glance the game appears to be similar to Western first-person shooter (FPS) games like the U.S.-produced “Counter-Strike” (CS) or “Call of Duty” series.
A photo released by Arirang-Meari showed what appears to be a U.S. soldier being shot and killed by the player, with another photo depicting a soldier in the gun’s crosshairs.
