    My friends niece introduced me to this game and I'm so obsessed with playing it.

    It's called Plague, Inc and your job is to create a plague that will wipe out mankind. It sounds easy right? nope! first you have to infect every single person in the world with your disease, if there are uninfected people left after all the infected people die, you lose. It's you also get DNA points to manipulate your disease but you have to be careful how you use them because if your disease is too severe people will die before everyone is infected.

    It's a game that makes you really think you have to plot and plan, not only your next moves but future ones.

    Even though I love the game, it feels a little sick to be excited/disappointed that I'm killing people (LOL). I'm like yes I've killed a billion people so far! or bummer I only killed 6 billion people! :-D

    I am appalled at the cavalier attitude towards mass killings. In fact, I emailed Bloomberg to recommend a mayors group for sensible computer control. :-D:-D

    How do you know you haven't had your first cup of coffee yet?

    When you click on the attachment thumbnail and start click on the buttons to get the game to start...and then wonder why it's not working and just getting closer. roflmao

    Off to search for this game.

    Good news is, I now have my coffee. LOL


    Of course it's not out for my Windows phone. :( Ah well, one less obsession for me.

    Might give it a whirl dyamond, but I am stuck in a loop and have been for years. All I ever seem to play is Need For Speed The Run... LOL Such a safe way to blow off steam especially if I get on my mic ;) I become a TROLL on that game roflmao Love winding people up.

    roflmao Oh my goodness, Laura, that totally sounds like something I would do.

    I'm kind of glad they don't have it for the Windows Phone because I'd be on my phone ALL DAY! LOL I play it on my laptop.

    Try it, you'd be surprised how fun it is to kill people! (there I go sounding sick again LOL)

    LOL It was certainly a 'doh' moment. I'm pretty sure I clicked on about 3 'buttons'.

    I just saw it for phones. Where do you play it on your pc? Did you download it?
     
  22. dyamond

    dyamond Imelda Marcos of Majorgeeks

    If you have an iPad, you can download it from the apple store but what I did was download an Android emulator called bluestacks and installed the game (and some other apps) though that. I've had it for a couple of months and it works pretty good, it's not perfect but gets the job done.

    I'm all Windows. I have a Surface, which my daughter now has since her laptop dropped rolleyes..

    I look at the Bluestacks. lol...is the game worth it?
     
  24. dyamond

    dyamond Imelda Marcos of Majorgeeks

    I started out playing it on an iPad until my friends niece took the iPad with her. Since I'm all Windows too, I HAD to find a way to get this game and this was my alternative, so yes, I'd say it's worth it to me. :-D

    roflmao....ok, Dy...consider me really really mad at you. I got distracted by Candy Crush on there and am no downloading Plague.

    Knowing me, I'll have to make myself uninstall this Bluestacks thing. There's just too many good things on here. :-D

    roflmao! Okay, I haven't started a game but I love the Casual game for new players or those wanting a quick game:

    -No one washes their hands
    -Research doctors don't work
    - Sick people given hugs

    I think I'll start with that one. LOL

    Laura, I'm not responsible any addictions you develop that result from downloading bluestacks :-D

    Also, the causal game is my favorite too. Hugs for all LOL

    Jeez Dyamond THANKS for starting this thread rolleyes
    I decided to give it a go coz I thought it looked OK and not too long a game and like you Laura I too have lost track of time rolleyes

    Talk about addictive and so far I have wasted...... eerrrr ........ invested four nights research into virus, bacteria or parasites. So far my research findings have shown that I have had two wins with parasite and one win with bacteria but with virus countries are way too quick to close their borders so I haven't been able to win but I am still trying and hoping for a breakthrough ;):cool

    Who would have thought eliminating mankind would be so challenging LOL

    Sorry (not) LOL

    I generally don't get addicted to games (or trying to wipe out mankind :-D ), so when I found something I liked, I naturally had to share! You love me for it! :p
