Hysteria, virtual style! The Swine Flu as played through Pandemic II
Posted Friday, May 8th, 2009 at 7:55:02 pm
Let's be like everyone else out there right now and turn our attention to the new hotness in viral trends.
The Swine Flu, Miss CDC H1N1 if you're nasty, is something I'm sure you're familiar with. If you've spent time near anything that's not porn in the last two weeks, it needs no introduction. Currently, somewhere around 200 people have died due in part to it with thousands more infected or possibly infected. Millions are, as they are with most things, scared and riveted by what the media is calling a pandemic. Indeed, if you read or watched the news in the last few days/weeks, you'd think there was nothing else going on.
It was with that in mind while poking around the net Friday, I revisited "Pandemic II" a virus-sim game by Dark Realm Studios. The gist of it as you might have guessed revolves around evolving a disease and watching it spread infection to the world, possibly to the point of humanity's extinction. It's a decent, somewhat short (usually around 1 or 2 hours) and bloodless (despite all the grisly things you can make your virus do, there is no graphic depictions of death, sickness or even of human beings whatsoever) game to play provided you have a dark sense of humor.
