    • MSstar, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12searchiiiiiiing, SEEK AND DESTROY


      oh wait
    • Xspire, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10Here's a strategy to help you kill everyone.
      1. Pick the Parasite.
      2. When you first start the game, sell your only symptom, this will make you practically invisible to the world.
      3. Buy waterborne transmission.
      4. I let it sit for about 10 or so minutes then came back, and bought resistances to cold, heat, and moisture, up to at least 2 on each.
      5. Pray that they don't find you. If you wait long enough then you can infect every country.
      6. As soon as you have infected every country, start buying deadly symptoms but try to avoid any that will boost your visibility. I usually pick pulmonary edema and hypersensitivity. Heart Failure is another good one though it is a bit more pricey.
      7. Try to leave some space available for more symptoms, more resistances, and more transmissions for when they start working on a vaccine. This can throw off the vaccine and make it ineffective.
      8. Once the vaccine is deployed, if it didn't work, or if it isn't deployed in time and you have already infected everyone, then you can buy all the deadliest symptoms even if they boost your visibility as no one can be cured of your disease.

      Good Luck!
      • Xspire, on 07/21/2008, -0/+7Sorry I have to make one correction to this. On number 4, I forgot to mention to buy drug resistance.
        Sorry about that.
      • LSP55, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Yeah, I pretty much figured it out but by the end I can't help myself and I go for necrosis if it is available (sometimes the symptoms change)

        Madagascar... what do you expect with a hypochondriac giraffe?
      • dorkino, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Madagascar still shuts down
    • maisteri, on 07/21/2008, -5/+2Wow, the world map is so ***** up.
      Made in USA
  • kataztrophy, on 07/20/2008, -22/+63Why didn't someone do this earlier? The concept is pure gold.
    • Pulp, on 07/20/2008, -1/+114I hope you're being sarcastic. You did notice it was called Pandemic *II*, right?
    • PopASquatt, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6George Carlin would love this.
    • pear1jamten, on 07/25/2008, -0/+1GOLD JERRY GOLD!
  • Genrre, on 07/20/2008, -3/+28I can never seem to get it to the island regions like Cube, Japan, and Greenland.
    • chrisj33, on 07/21/2008, -2/+95Madagascar ruins this game.
    • Lythium, on 07/21/2008, -1/+12If you start out with a benign, low-visibility yet highly infectious disease, Japan is one of the easiest places to take out - the game is fairly realistic in that. But Greenland is tough, yes, as is Madagascar, as mentioned above.
      • squidandwhale, on 07/21/2008, -0/+15About Japan, how is that realistic? Japanese people wear masks in public if they start coughing as a courtesy to others. There are hand washing diagrams near every sink to make sure you thoroughly wash your hands. And instead of a few big hospitals like in the states, there are tons of little hospitals every third block in Japan, not to mention public health-care and a national obsession with cleanliness. It doesn't even have the highest population density.
      • arvvvs, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Make it water spreadable, and make sure hurricanes hit japan. Russia and New Zealand are so dang annoying.
      • opticwind, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1Squid I've been living in Aisai for some time now and only the big 3 (Tokyo, Kyoto, Nagoya) seem to have ANYTHING you mentioned.
      • stk198323, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6@squidandwhale

        There obsession for ''cleanliness'' might just be the reason why there so vulnerable. Using anti-bacterian soap everywhere reduce your exposure to bacteria which result in a weaker immune system. People using too much of those antibacterian soap in america are reported to be more sensible to infection (sorry, don't have a link on hand).

        It's good to wash hand's and stuff, but japanese people are taking it way too far and ruin there own immune system by doing this.
    • ap44, on 07/21/2008, -0/+16Greenland was the first country to be completely killed off by my virus dubbed "CocksInAssitus"...
    • DeFex, on 07/21/2008, -0/+13its funny how the "government starts exterminating rodents" when theres only 50 people left in that country.
    • mithrasinvictus, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5For world domination sell all symptoms and increase vectors and resistances (esp. heat)
    • Scriabin, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6It's tough, but I think I got it.. Just turn off all ways the disease can be spotted and turn off all symptoms. You just need to spread it to every region first, and if the regions can't 'spot it' then the regions won't be alarmed. After every region has a few infected, turn up the routes of infection--sneezing, coughing, etc--that are not lethal, wait until every region is 100% infected, sell those nonlethal routes of infection, and buy things like liver and kidney failure. You just wiped out the entire human race if you did it right.

      Madagascar is also hardest to infect because ships move slow and they only have a port, so by time an infected ship gets there, they might be closed down. So you have to be cautious until you have that island infected especially.
      • uhhNo, on 07/21/2008, -20/+1Neither coughing nor sneezing are symptoms in this game.
      • Vuredel, on 07/21/2008, -0/+9You almost sounded like you knew what you were talking about, there.
      • WebWorker, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2uhhNo -- no they are, but different type of disease have different sets of symptoms
    • Trobes12, on 07/21/2008, -2/+0Oddly enough, Cuba, Japan, and Greenland were the first ones infected when I tried, but Peru was a real bitch to take...
    • sturmgiest, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Peru got me even when I started in Madagascar.
    • Qeveren, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1I seem to have pretty good luck with waterborne parasites with no symptoms. It just takes a very, very long time to spread. I seem to win every time I go that route. oO
  • kall, on 07/20/2008, -1/+208Damn you Madagascar and your single port!
  • magicjames92, on 07/20/2008, -7/+67Great game but some bad problems.
    No points for killing people. Only infecting. So if everyone in the area is already infected, no points for you.
    Island regions are pretty much impossible to get to.
    • adragons, on 07/21/2008, -4/+29You can't call it a problem... that's like saying checkers is problematic because you can only move diagonally....
    • ap44, on 07/21/2008, -1/+29It's also how a real outbreak would work. Once the host dies, the disease dies...so why would you get points?
    • 1Bad, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12Yes, being blind and prone to heart failure IS quite a problem indeed. It is difficult to administer the proper resuscitation techniques when you can't see. Muhaha.
    • aywwts4, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6That's not true, I keep getting points slowly even though my disease has stopped spreading, and 100% of the infected region's populations are infected and now dieing.
      • Reziarfg, on 07/21/2008, -3/+5Hey! You stole my avatar!
      • aywwts4, on 07/21/2008, -0/+16This is the seccond time you have alleged this, First I started digg in 2005 with this avatar. while you started in 2006. Second, Yours is a boring 100% blue avatar, mine is a custom blend of B0.9882 G0.0078 R0.0157.
    • RashandCurious, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1thank kinda makes sense though. The success of a disease isn't how well it kills people. It's how well it reproduces and continues to pass on it's genome. Al la herpes.
    • geoboy, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2What's more of a problem is how incredibly unrealistic this game is. I managed to get damn near the entire world population infected with a bacteria that causes fever, diarrhea, and kidney failure. And not a SINGLE person died. Not one. Over a period of several weeks. Not a single death. Yeah, I'll believe that.
    • razorc03, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Everyone in Greenland is dead, the they are still open for ALL businesses!
      I've successfully created the ZOMBIE!
  • redhitman, on 07/20/2008, -2/+118It's kinda scary how fun this game is...
    • Akaricloud, on 07/21/2008, -0/+24Over half my world is now infected with Cooties. Not long now, muhahaha.
      • sarixe, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10I KNEW IT
      • sturmgiest, on 07/21/2008, -0/+8thats the most genius disease name ever
      • LopsidedZebra, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6Now the world will fear the pure evil that is Wanker's Cramp!
      • EvilGunOwner, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Did you give people "chewties"? (Wonder Showzen)
  • mepawl, on 07/20/2008, -4/+33I can never infect Australia >:(
    • convergent, on 07/21/2008, -0/+12That was the place I started at haha.
    • yacks, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2i had no problem infecting it one time.. :) and my disease started in North Africa... and I got cuba... just missed usa..mexico... south america and indonesia.
  • RogueJediX, on 07/20/2008, -3/+74I think that if Madagascar is that much inaccessible, you should at the very least get a ton of points if you do infect it.
  • CrushThemTorg, on 07/20/2008, -2/+36The Doody Virus and its later evolution, the E. Poopypants bacteria didn't doo too well.
    • Inohavehalos, on 07/21/2008, -1/+19I called my virus "Republicans" and wow, i wish the creator would put commas on his numbers so I don't get a headache from trying to count the numbers. Is it billions? millions?
      • Kirizan, on 07/21/2008, -0/+16I called my virus "McVirus" and the only symptoms I had were Diarrhea and Nausea :)
    • GreenLynx, on 07/21/2008, -2/+18We'll see if the Christianity virus has a better chance.

  • AlexWiggy, on 07/21/2008, -8/+4Been playing this for the past couple of hours, not sure where I found it from :D. Weird that it's just made it to the FP of Digg.
    Really good game, I'm yet to win though :/.
  • jeffko387, on 07/21/2008, -21/+9Named my virus "Chuck Norris." No one can possibly survive.
    • Ridikul, on 07/21/2008, -0/+16Seriously? People are STILL milking this meme?
    • jgzman, on 07/21/2008, -0/+1The last post on the internet will be either a Chuck Norris line, or a boobs joke. I'd say fifty-fifty.
  • Remmiz, on 07/21/2008, -2/+104***** Madagascar.
    • NikoKun, on 07/21/2008, -15/+5If you think it's hard to infect Madagascar... Try having to START there!
      • expert01, on 07/21/2008, -0/+17My god, it must be seriously hard if you had to post that comment twice!
      • Myonosken, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2It's probably not too big an issue given you can spread straight in to africa.
  • AlexWiggy, on 07/21/2008, -2/+18Try and start your disease of low risk, and get it spread widely, then try getting it deadly.
    • dezmo, on 07/21/2008, -2/+66my disease has killed zero people, yet the entire world is shutting down schools and hospitals, over a disease which has the symptoms of sneezing and fever, some countries are burning bodies. which don't exist. i declare this came fail.
      • LucasVB, on 07/21/2008, -0/+23I just made a virus with no symptoms whatsoever, but high infection rate. Everyone panicked.

        Lame game is lame. :(

  • richnojutsu, on 07/21/2008, -2/+19Wow, they made a second version. The original Pandemic helped me kill so much time during boring and slow classes. Can't wait to give this one a shot!
  • moontime, on 07/21/2008, -2/+11Thats ***** up.
  • bizsumpark182, on 07/21/2008, -1/+11This game is very fun. The music is annoying but at least you can turn that off.
  • HillerMylife, on 07/24/2008, -2/+56This game is a great idea but executed pretty horribly. It counts way too much on random chance. But if some small studio were to take this idea and run with it, make a full-fledged game out of it, it would be tons of fun.
    • Xionn, on 07/21/2008, -1/+12agreed. I was quite disappointed to find that the extent of the graphical representation of your disease was a region turning red. I was expecting more of a expanding blob or something. And why not make the airplanes and boats red if an infected is on it?
    • beingdevious, on 07/21/2008, -6/+1i smell a new addon pack for civilization :)
    • Evi1d33d, on 07/21/2008, -1/+22With some tweaks and graphic update it would sell like hot cake on LIVE, PSN and Steam.

      And then media will get all over it and say it's a bio-terrorism simulator to train real terrorists.
      • groo68, on 07/21/2008, -1/+4Of course the terrorist would engineer a harmless disease, infect everyone, and then evolve it in his lab, not realizing that when one specimen of the disease evolves in a lab, the others around the world don't follow suit.
  • rationalbeats, on 07/21/2008, -1/+92I named my disease Digg
    • Dobiewonkenobi, on 07/21/2008, -0/+24I named mine The Digg effect
    • Psi57, on 07/21/2008, -2/+21I named mine The Gay.
    • Akaricloud, on 07/21/2008, -1/+19Mine was called Cooties. I knew one day it would take over the world. But nooo, theres no such thing.
    • sk1p17, on 07/21/2008, -2/+11I named mine World of Warcraft
    • seriouslyorange, on 07/21/2008, -2/+6the name of my killer virus was 'scientology'. i have to admit, not very contagious tho.
    • LightGrenades, on 07/21/2008, -1/+4Mine was "Oh *****"
    • Brad324, on 07/21/2008, -1/+9Madagascar was the only country to escape Blue Balls.
    • KillAudio, on 07/21/2008, -1/+3Mine was Diglett.

      The little brown dildo-mon that he is went and destroyed the world.
  • 2clone, on 07/21/2008, -7/+6WTF do I do?
  • jmcneilly, on 07/21/2008, -1/+27See, this is why terrorists would never use biological weapons.

    Even if they did find some super virus or M31 Syndrome, Madagascar and New Zealand would survive. That way, all future generations would derive from them. Think about that: every movie would be by Peter Jackson, sheep farming (and associated Saturday night "wool gathering") would be the primary occupation of most of the earth, and every restaurant would be Madagascarese, filled with whatever they make in Madagascar. Mmm... madagascar kaboby goodness...
    • diggumup, on 07/21/2008, -3/+13If I was a terrorist, I would find your nationality and kill every single one of your kind, starting with you.
  • dsmx, on 07/21/2008, -3/+37Unless you start on Madagascar you won't win, keep restarting till you do. Get rid of all symptoms and keep buying the resistances, once your disease has spread to another area get the rodent spread thing. That should help you get going.
    • greensauce, on 07/21/2008, -1/+7i saved up all my points from the beginning and just had fever as a symptom, after I got like 80 points I jacked up my virus really quick and it spread like wildfire, even to Madagascar. I won the game and it started in the US.
  • h4mx0r, on 07/21/2008, -4/+46*tinfoil hat*

    The government is using this game to track highscores! Those who score the highest in this game are clearly going to be potential bio terror threats, and will be reported to the CDC and Department of Homeland Security!

    Don't submit your scores!
    • diggumup, on 07/21/2008, -0/+23All the high scores are labeled "SUCK MY *****"
    • ZedoMann, on 07/21/2008, -0/+14So the government will take an innocent person named "SUCK MY *****" as a terrorist now...

      OH THE HORROR!!
    • uhhNo, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3and it looks like the all time high scores have been hacked already...
    • MalDON, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Like hackers: The dead code?
      • Limp_Trizkit, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Not to correct you, but you mean Wargames: The Dead Code, not Hackers. There is no sequel to Hackers.
      • h4mx0r, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Which I saw like two days ago. What a crappy ass movie. It had stargate worlds though!
      • MalDON, on 07/22/2008, -0/+2Yea, wargames is what I meant.
    • VgRasta, on 07/21/2008, -1/+8Well that is just redicu
    • Abram730, on 07/21/2008, -1/+1You'd need a sealed hepa Vacuums, plastic, duck tape, bath tub, lots of bleach,,,,.. to make a two negative pressure rooms and a positive pressure suit with air pumped in or scuba gear.. err not like I ever thought about that or anything and I think up of lots of things... err I'd better shut up now lol
    • echelonist, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2Funny because it's actually resuming the plot of the cheap directo-to-DVD sequel to War Games.
      For a good laugh check for "War Games: The Dead Code".
  • SQLserver, on 07/21/2008, -5/+18I took a hint from Steve Ballmer and named my virus GPL.

  • ronaldmonster, on 07/21/2008, -0/+15This game really shines if you do the rarest thing and start in Madagascar.
    • Anorhc, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Funny you should say that. My first game started in Madagascar. It's becoming a bitch to move my disease out with only one port (which was immediately closed).
      • ronaldmonster, on 07/21/2008, -0/+3Make it water & airborne the moment it leaves Madagascar you can dominate the world.
      • dsmx, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Actually you better of just going with rodents.
  • triont, on 07/21/2008, -4/+61I named my disease /b/.
    • Bennessy, on 07/21/2008, -1/+6I beat the game with a disease named that.

    • vault, on 07/26/2008, -1/+1I named my disease Liberalism. Infected everyone except Madagascar before I lost since no new people could be infected.

      They are very eager to close their shipyard, and I had everything else maxed out without symptoms at first, so I'm not sure how you're supposed to get Madagascar if you don't start there.

  • Tanktunker, on 07/21/2008, -2/+18Personally I'm just morally outraged that there aren't an creation points.
    This game in no way accommodates the only true, rational viewpoint that an onmnipotent, invisible, omniscient being made us all in spore.
  • jstancom, on 07/21/2008, -0/+23I made a low visibility virus with no symptoms, however made it heavily infectious. Then I bought all the tiers of symptoms and clicked on "Heart Failure." The entire world was already infected, and within 5 minutes everyone was dead.

    • Zuranaken, on 07/21/2008, -0/+4I did the same thing. I named my virus "Death Note Virus"
    • dhVyse, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5Yeah, low visibility and highly infectious is the way to go, with high resistances to all. Then I like a mixture of Kidney Failure, Fever, Pulmonary Edema, Hypersensitivy, then some vomiting and coughing to get it going even faster. The lethality is more then enough this way.

      Also, ***** Madagascar, Greenland and Australia. =

  • Splicernyc, on 07/21/2008, -0/+10A phenomenal game. Almost as fun as wiping out entire planets of people willing to give up in the old MOO and Gal Civ. Now if they can only create a war game that lets me kill noncombatants on the town level.
    • jbrand45, on 07/22/2008, -0/+3There was a game I saw online somewhere, where you bomb an Iraqi(?) village in an attempt to eradicate the terrorists. The thing was, whenever an innocent villager was killed, 10 more turned into terrorists, so as I'm sure you can see it was a continuing cycle.

  • Verz, on 07/21/2008, -14/+4No game should ever have a mandatory 8 minute tutorial video. Nor should a game make you wait for 5 minutes and stare at a bland map with a short music loop and hope that you're lucky enough to infect every country.
    • Kanten, on 07/21/2008, -0/+121. The video's not mandatory.
      2. Level up your damn infectivity and resistances.
      3. There's a fast forward button.
      4. Turn the music off.
    • AyaJulia, on 07/21/2008, -0/+2I watched the tutorial and didn't learn a damn thing I didn't figure out within 5 minutes of playing, therefore it's far from mandatory. Also, there's a little button at the bottom to speed time up. Fail.
    • Verz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+2The whole "time" thing is unnecessary and artificially extends the game in the most boring way possible.
  • Onji, on 07/21/2008, -1/+71The Tutorial lady's voice is SO god damned annoying. Holy *****.
    • Verz, on 07/21/2008, -1/+14It's actually a dude's voice.. The guy that created it.
    • NightRiderkami, on 07/21/2008, -0/+19Yeah, it sounds like she had a stroke in between tutorial one and two.
    • dhVyse, on 07/21/2008, -0/+6Yeah and the tutorial is also speaking to us like we're 3-year-olds.
  • kingUssop, on 07/21/2008, -0/+5It's a fun game, I've been playing it for a few days. Good time waster. If you want something with more control over spreading try the first one, they're pretty different, but both fun.
