[neoconopticon.wordpress.com] On 22 December 2009 Stichting DubbelX-Alternative View
in Amsterdam launched a new internet game about the EU’s Security and
Defence Policy. It was developed with the support of the ‘Europe Fund’
of the Dutch Ministry of Foreign Affairs. It’s objective is “to reach
people who don’t read books or articles about the subject but who may
be tempted to learn something about the subject through playing a game”.
The game is available on www.benjij007.nl
(are you 007?). You need to understand Dutch to play it (an English
translation is apparently on its way). ”In the game the EU
Anti-Terrorism Coordinator sends you on a mission to prevent a
terrorist attack with a dirty nuclear bomb on one of Europe’s
cities. While chasing the terrorists around the world you are fed with
information about the EU’s security and defence policy. The game ends
with a report about your qualities as an agent, invites you to deepen
your knowledge and gives some suggestions to do it”.
