SYDNEY, Australia (AP) -- An Australian man who created a game based on the Virginia Tech shootings is offering to pull it off the Internet only if he receives donations on his Web site.

Twenty-one-year-old Ryan Lambourn of Sydney posted a game called "V-Tech Rampage." That's a Philadelphia-based portal that allows amateurs to upload games they have created, play them and discuss them in forums.

In Lambourn's game, the player manipulates a character carrying a handgun around a campus. There are clear references to the Virginia Tech killings and to the student who shot to death 32 people and himself on April 16th.

The game has generated a furious debate online, with many posters in forums and newsgroups demanding that it be removed. Others have supported the game.

Local media report that Lambourn has received no donations.

I'd like to donate my foot to his a*bleep*......
