TEHRAN – The 34-day resistance by the people of Khorramshahr before the Iranian city was captured by the Iraqi forces during the 1980-1988 Iran-Iraq war has been highlighted in an Iranian computer game, which is scheduled to be released early summer.

“The game entitled ‘Conquerors of Sun’ helps depict people’s resistance and bravery despite a shortage of military equipment during the battle,” game designer Behnam Shojaei told the Persian service of MNA on Friday.The game features a complete map of the city during the war, in addition to various major locations in the city such as the railway station and Khorramshahr Congregational Mosque where the battle took place, he said.Shojaei added that he believes games should be interesting for children no matter if the subject of a game is about Iranian soldiers and their resistance against the enemy, or about Spiderman.“Children like to play and enjoy the game then later they get the message of the game,” he added.“Conquerors of Sun” was produced by Qoqnus-e Fann-o-Honar Company.Located in the southwestern Iranian province of Khuzestan, Khorramshahr was totally captured by Iraqi forces on October 26, 1980. The city was liberated on May 24, 1982.Photo: A poster for “Conquerors of Sun”RM/YAWEND
