I had played this game a while back, and got to where I could kill off the entire population of Earth in a very respectable time.

[+1] - Setanta - 04/29/2009Well . . . except that you'd be destroying your reproductive opportunity . . .
[+1] - ebrown p - 04/29/2009Well... I guess I would just have to evolve then... ((as long as I get high score first))
[+1] - ebrown p - 04/29/2009As far as these games... they are novel, somewhat educational and intellectually amusing for a short time. I don't see anything wrong with them.
[+1] - old europe - 04/29/2009There's a new version out, [b][url=http://www.crazymonkeygames.com/jkf6Tr/pandemic2.swf]Pandemic II[/url][/b]. Just thought I would share this. Also, I'm considering a vacation in Madagascar....
[+1] - DrewDad - 04/29/2009Yeah, that Madagascar is a tough nut to crack.

@chai2,

My son and I played these games a couple of years ago.

These games are slightly educational in that they get you to think about what makes pandemics dangerous. Figuring out that increasing the time people could spread the disease before they died (i.e. making the disease work slowly) was strategically interesting.
