The Cuban government is condemning a new video game that lets players acting as soldiers seek out and kill a young Fidel Castro.
The game from Activision Blizzard, "Call of Duty: Black Ops," is now on sale in the U.S.
The highly anticipated game takes players on secret missions to Cold War enemies in the Soviet Union, Cuba, Vietnam and Laos.
On the Cuban mission, the goal is to assassinate young revolutionary Fidel Castro, who has overthrown dictator Fulgencio Batista.
An article on the government-run website says: "What the United States couldn't accomplish in more than 50 years, they are now trying to do virtually." Some Cuban officials maintain that there have been more than 600 failed attempts by the CIA on Castro's life.
Sales should be especially strong in South Florida and New Jersey, two Cuban-American strongholds.
