Schoolyard Slaughter

An AMOS based crosshairs shooter. You have 100 bullets and only head shots count. The game, made by Rupert and John in 1992 was tied by the media to the Dunblane massacre that came four years later. Penguin Public Domain was interrogated by the media over publishing the game in England. Schoolyard Slaughter is a simple game (albeit an offensive one) wherein players earn points for shooting school children in the head for sport. The gameplay echoes that of the standard point-and-click shooters that were commonly being produced at the time, and features crudely drawn children darting across a fixed backdrop at varying speeds. One hundred points are awarded for each successful headshot, along with a brief animation of the unfortunate victim collapsing in a pool of his or her blood. The player receives extra ammo for every thousand points, and the game ends when the player runs out of bullets. After the game, players can qualify to enter their name into the "Sportsman Journal" (a high score list) if their body count is impressive enough.
