Los Disneys: Magic Kingdom shooter game

Cory Doctorow 5:08 am Thu Aug 23, 2007

Los Disneys, the classic violent, funny video game about post-apocalyptic themepark battles, has just released its long-awaited version 2.0.

The year is 2015. Steeped in national debt, the United States reluctantly allows the Walt Disney Company to purchase the entire peninsula of Florida in the largest geographic acquisition since the Louisiana Purchase. Under its new president, formerly-ousted CEO Michael Eisner, the newly-sovereign state is renamed Los Disneys. Your job is to infiltrate the Magic Kingdom, blasting your way through animatronic pirates, holographic ghosts, tourists, security guards and even Mickey himself in an attempt to seek and destroy the frozen head of Walt Disney. However, doing so inadvertently triggers Eisner's doomsday device… unless you can stop it.
