Tehran blocks sale of video game depicting Iran's 1979 revolution
The Iranian regime has banned the sale of a video-game that gives players a first-person perspective of the 1979 Iranian revolution. "1979 Revolution: Black Friday", which was created by an Iranian-born game designer and his wife and released back in April to acclaim for its historically accurate depiction of the Iranian revolution, has been banned by officials in Tehran for being "Anti-Iranian" and "pro-American propaganda." Navid Khonsari -- a former Rockstar Games designer who helped develop the popular "Grand Theft Auto" series says they will look for another way to get the games to the masses. Officials in Tehran claim that the game is "anti-Iranian" and "pro-American propaganda." We are trying to combat the censorship," Khonsari tells FoxNews.com. We tried to portray a truthful account of what happened."
