"The moment I saw this game, I was hooked. My maximum score is 2,100 and me and my colleagues are playing hard to set new records," said Vikas Mathur, a software-marketing professional.
The latest free flash game available at www.onlinerealgames.com. All you need to do is to left click with the mouse when the terrorist approaches the rope. But it isn't all that simple because the virtual Qasab is as wily as the real thing; he will try to escape giving you not even a second to accurately hit the button. For every correct hit you get 100 points and you have a minute of playing time.
Maruti Sankar, managing director of 7Seas Technologies, the developer of the game, said, " We had been hearing a lot about who will hang Qasab so we thought why not create a game wherein every Indian is given a chance to hang the terrorist and get rid of his anger. We're not publicising this game because its been developed more out of patriotism than as a business venture.
Even then about one lakh people are hanging Qasab everyday through our game. The game can be played as a member or as a guest but interaction with other players is only possible if you're registered. The game is very simple and can be played even with minimum system requirements."
