Atomic Weapons, Snipers & Assault Rifles: “Ideal for Ages 12 and Up”

Nukewatch Quarterly Winter 2016-2017
“Nuketown,” a game designed for kids, boasts that it “demonstrates the effects of an atomic weapon on a residential neighborhood.”

War toys aren’t just wooden guns any more. One recent game ad gushes: “Nuketown was a nuclear testing site in the 1950’s and demonstrates the effects of an atomic weapon on a residential neighborhood. A clocktower stands at the corner of Trinity Avenue and Latchkey Road, showing the

countdown to detonation. The streets are blocked off with barbed wire barricades making it difficult to reach the fully buildable two-story green house. Two super-poseable micro action figures are armed and ready to survey the debris. Send the soldiers into the house to take sniper shots through shattered windows, duck behind eerie mannequins and flee using the fire escape. Ideal for ages 12 and up.”

The game features: “Buildable Nuketown with 1950s style house with white picket fence, a clock tower, street sign and barbed wire barricade; Two highly detailed and super-poseable micro action figures with detachable accessories; Two micro mannequins; Full-assembly sniper and assault rifles with high-powered scopes.” Like the actual nuclear weapons arsenal which also lacks a purpose, the box urges players to “build the mission!”
