IRANIAN school kids have designed a shoot-em-up computer game which has an Iranian special forces hero rescuing one of the country's top atomic scientists captured by US forces in Iraq.



The game called "Commander Bahman" was designed by schoolchildren belonging to the Union of Islamic Student Societies, will hit the shops next year. >{?
