I'm sure someone will probably tell me I'm 2 years behind the curve... but this game is still hella cool in case not.

Pandemic II

Flash game where you design a disease and try to eradicate humanity. The hardest trick is to get spread to every country/continent before said countries close down their airports/seaports/borders. Madagascar survives most of the time because all they got is a seaport. I think it's kinda gay that even after evolving your virus to become airborne, insect carrying, etc... you still can't infect a country if they've closed their borders. Once you do infect most of the population your task is to kill them as quick as possible :P

Madagascar (sp?) is gay.

It was kinda fun - but after a lot of playthroughs, it all seemed pretty shallow to me.

Could be a real fun game if they improved some stuff though.

I agree, like I said there needs to be a way to infect a region even after it locks itself down. Random events like tsunami's and hurricanes should carry a chance of infecting a region. Also some more countermeasures from humanity's side would be nice.

A lethal disease that kills quickly by definition is not able to spread very well (because everyone who has it tends to die before they can spread it).

Sorry, it was a meme that I didn't even knew existed. (Meme. I fucking hate that word. Meme is its own meme.)
