Wow. Just wow. ★★
by Alan24918 - Version 1.10 - Jan 03, 2014
I bought this game in the hopes it would be about the Kennedy assassination, and that I could either shoot Kennedy (as Oswald or as the guy from the grassy knoll), play Kennedy and try to avoid the bullet, or even play Jackie O in some capacity.
It is actually ASSESS-ination, which is in fact not a word, yet the game’s creator apparently thinks it is. I don’t know if he didn’t have spell check, but the correct word is assessment.
In this game, you play a student, Richard Ludmark, who is “assessing” Kennedy in 1973 for a college paper. Level 1 is actually just Ludmark in his dorm, procrastinating. The goal is to eat a pizza and jerk off without picking up your notebook or walking to the library. If you walk into the library, you die. After this, I just stopped. I didn’t even try Level 2.

Beautiful music. The Elton John is clearly not licensed, but that’s ok. I feel like I am right back in my own dorm in the 70s, trying not to write a paper. I’ve only advanced to Level 2 so far, where Richard goes to the school’s cafeteria and smuggles out some brownies and some milk cartons in his book bag. He is stuck sitting next to a kid who needs to shower.

ok. I am being GENEROUS with the 2 stars here. when Richard crashes the history departments party in level 6, and u have to fight the dean, the combat simply SUCKS. you just press the attack button and you watch a stupid animated fight. this isn’t combat, this is just pointing and clicking. I wanted to kick that dean’s fat ass, but the game won’t even let you kick. horrible. the other rpg game this company put out, mckinley assessination, was much better. u could box in old school 20s style.

by JonathanLikesLemons - Version 1.10 - Dec 2, 2013
Got this for my 2.66/4GB Core Duo 24” iMac (GeForce 9400) and absolutely no problems at all. Saw some complaints about multiplayer, but it worked quite easily for me. Got to play George, Richard’s fat roommate. George farts, A LOT, and it takes about a level to figure out how to control the farts, but by Level 4, when Richard and George are trying to score with the two girls, I was completely able to hold the farts in until the girls went to the bathroom.

NOT historically accurate! ★★★
by pocket_full_of_shells112 - Version 1.10 - Nov 30, 2013
Good game, but the music is NOT correct. In level 7, when Richard really buckles down to try and write his paper at 4 am the day it is due, he puts on a record, and the album you have to choose is ‘Quadrophenia’ by The Who. WELL. Something as quick as a SIMPLE GOOGLE SEARCH should have told the game’s creators that this album was released on October 19, 1973, and since this game CLEARLY takes place at the end of spring semester, 1973, then it is completely and utterly impossible that Richard could play this album. Are we supposed to believe that Richard, a simple college student, got an advanced copy of such a HIGHLY ANTICIPATED DOUBLE ALBUM?? What, did he know Pete Townshend? Give me a break.

by jtt_82635 - Version 1.10 - Nov 12, 2013
OK so the guy a couple reviews before me COMPLETELY BLEW THE TWIST ENDING. DO NOT, I REPEAT DO NOT, READ THE REVIEW BY SAM_IAM1988. I cannot believe that someone would blow the ENTIRE ENDING in the review section. Amazing. My 1 star rating is for this guy, the game itself gets between 3 and 4 stars from me.

what a helluva twist!! didn’t see it coming! ★★★★★
by sam_iam1988 - Version 1.10 - Nov 1, 2013
playing this game was like watching fight club or usual suspects for the first time. it turns out that richard and his roomate george are actually the same person!! how do they think of that? THEN they show u a little montage, where they flash back to earlier parts of your game, and its like, how did I miss that? its crazy too, cause if u played multiplayer, and say u and a friend were playing richard and george, u actually were BOTH PLAYING THE SAME PERSON!! richard has been schizaphrenic this whole time and has hallucenated his roommate due to an acid trip he had as a freshmen!!

by where_is_wald0 - Version 1.10 - Oct 26, 2013
ok, so i dont get it. Played this level as both richard and george, and simply CANNOT get the two girls to have sex with us. Tried getting them drunk, but you lose 10 points. whenever i get close, the head mistress comes in, smacks us with a rolling pin, and kicks us out of the dorm.

by CalvinDW - Version 1.10 - Oct 21, 2013
this game is fun, but essentially a repeat of the earlier games they put out, lincoln assessination and mckinley assessination. both those games were better because of the time period. but they are all better than william henry harrison book report, a weird game from the 80s where a kid had to write a book report on william henry harrison but gets pneumonia and dies.

AMAZING ★★★★★
by KantSucks1982 - Version 1.10 - Oct 15, 2013
This game is a MUST BUY! Visually and philosophically engaging. The journey that Richard Ludmark, a 22-year old college senior in 1973, takes will be your own dark, introspective journey. Join him on the eve of the morning that his big college paper on JFK is due.
In Level 1, he procrastinates like we all do, suggesting the very nature of the Western male. He drinks, fights, and fucks (or tries to), and eventually finds his way to the library, where you have to fight off potheads, who have used old newspapers to wrap their weed.
The cafeteria in Level 2 is a dizzying array of post-World War II adolescence. Every one there is trapped in their own Lacanian Real.
At Hedgewick Hall in Level 4, when George must hold in his farts so that he and Richard can score with the two coeds, there is a subtle sadness in the knowledge that animal nature must be repressed in the name of sexuality. The dance of intimacy is presented for everyone in all its ugliness, and we are reminded of Kierkegaard’s‘ love for Regine. When George betrays Richard and blames Richard for the flatulence, this treachery is felt in all its depths.
Level 5 can be called The Descent Into Madness, as Richard strikes up a conversation on a porch (his empty styrofoam cup suggests napalm and thus the Vietnam War).
Level 6 is the barbaric aftermath, and then Level 7 is of course when Richard must confront his own destiny, like the Star Child in 2001, and write his damned paper already.

Cool game, but a few things... ★★★★
by cameraguy - Version 1.10 - Dec 17, 2013
First off, I am playing this game on my macbook air from late 2009.
- There is no option to turn off or even to reduce the amount of sexuality. When Richard and his roommate George get drunk and bang the slutty chicks from Hedgewick Hall, you have to try and convince the girls not to use a condom, and personally this was a bit much. I wanted to play this game with my kids!
- When you use multiple screens, the images get strange. Fix!
- In Level 5, Richard has a long conversation with a guy on a porch, where you have to compare a tapped keg to Frank Zappa, the Vietnam War, and the moon, and the goal of the level is to not say anything profound. This was very difficult for me, as a non-drinker and non-smoker.
