This Swedish store is making a joke about the recent events of China and the complaints that most of the world have against their democracy. If you do not like jokes about it then you should stop reading here. I think it was funny because most Swedes can joke about most things :) It's extra funny because they added Sid Meier in the joke since it could have been a strategy game that played like Civ :)
I guess this will be gone by tomorrow so be quick before it disappears :P I will make a translation:
Sid Meier's KiNA!
Finally! So it has arrived, the highly anticipated and epic strategy/action-game "Sid Meier's KiNA", where the story is about ruling the Olympic Games host, nuclear weapon producer and dictatorship KiNA.
Sid Meier together with DictaVision have developed this increcibly funny and addicting epic game. New tools to administrate and expand KiNA have been brought forward, together with new easy-to-use mod-features (already developed mods are "Nuclear weapons and other good things", "The Future Is Red" and "A good critic is a silent critic"). Sid Meier's KiNA has been under development for more than 5 years and a lot of work has been devoted to making the game as realistic as possible.
As a faithful communist and leader you decide what way KiNA and its over 1 billion citizens will make important decisions, like how to as swiftly as possible silence regime-critics, what nuclear weapons that give the most power, how you most effectivaly suppress neighbour countries, what impression the rest of the world will get and more. To make the nation follow your decisions you are handed a multiple tools to use; death penalty, censorship, party-election fixing, torture, prison camps, and not to forget you don't have to consider the so called "human rights", which in all in all gives you obedient and following people.
The title has already been proclaimed as one of the top ten games of 2008 and something players all over the world must have. The control system of the Wii has given the opportunity to enhance the since long declining strategy-genre.
Features:
* To increase the excitement in the game a number of hostile countries have been added as a threat to KiNA. Among these you can find Burma and Dr.Lama's TiBET with his monk army.
* Arrange your own Olympic Games. With unique sports like tank-race, throw with small journalist, 100 meter barbed wire obstacle, american water gymnastics, regime critic marksmanship, monk polo and more.
* Co-op mode for up to 1 player offline.
Accessories:
Lots of accessories are already planned for the game, some of them already here:
*Tank steering wheek - Used for tank race at Tiananmen Square.
*AK-47 - Automatic rifle for more realism during executions.
* Truncheon - For cleaning up during demonstrations or to deny other unwanted elements like non obedient monks.
The package includes:
* The game "Sid Meier's KiNA"
* Swedish manual (NOTE! The control and censorship organization of China have carefully processed the manual, which means that the text is censored and large parts of it have been overlined. However there is an interactive tutorial on the game disc)
* Truncheon which is put as an extension on the Wii-mote ("For the right feeling")
* Soundtrack with for example China's national anthem "March of the volunteers"
* A copy of Mao Tsedong's "Little red" (collection with quotes from chairman Mao) in German original translation from 1972.
*Chinese flag in original size (3*5 meters)
This is followed by some local jokes about famous Swedish people :)
