GAME DESCRIPTION
PLEASE NOTE, YOU MUST HAVE AN ADDICTING GAMES ACCOUNT TO POST SCORES TO THE LEADERBOARD.
Pandemic 2 is a free game about the spread of a dangerous pandemic in the modern age. This is a strategy game about the danger and threat of an aggressive virus as it slowly spreads its way across the globe. By playing as the virus instead of as medics, researchers, or other members of the medical and scientific communities you will see the mechanisms by which a virus may spread. This is a casual game with simple mechanics that allow for deep meaningful choices on behalf of the player. As the game continues your objective will be to spread your virus as far, as wide, and as fat as you possibly can. As your virus evolves you'll gain experience points. With these experience points, you will be able to purchases upgrades. You can choose from a lit of different symptoms which all have their own ways of helping the virus spread. This is a casual time-management game so you’ll have to upgrade and then wait and see if your disease is progressing before your time limit. As time passes, you’ll gain evolution points which is what you can use to purchase upgrades.
INSTRUCTIONS
To play Pandemic 2, first choose your mode: relaxed or realistic. Realistic mode is more difficult so leave this one to the pros if this is your first time. Then select between the three available microbes which also vary in difficulty. You can click on each country to see how well they’re doing or go to the main map in the upper left hand to move around the red square. You can see recent news in the left hand column for reports about the spread of the disease. Once you’ve gained points, you can upgrade your microbe by adding more symptoms, modes of transmission, and resistance

An online strategy game that was popular a decade ago has had a surge of new users during the coronavirus outbreak because of its eerie parallels in mimicking the spread of a worldwide health crisis.
...Pandemic 2 had just 6,000 plays in December, but has now been played more than 140,000 times in 2020. What's more: The game is old — Pandemic 2 launched on Addicting Games in 2008, and still uses Adobe Flash Player, a plug-in that will be discontinued at the end of 2020. |

For such an old game with outdated optics, Pandemic 2 is a surprisingly detailed strategy game. Players are able to select their disease's symptoms, from sneezing and nausea to pulmonary edema. They can choose how their disease is transmitted — by insect, rodent, water, or air — and its resistance to drugs, heat, and moisture. Players can track as their disease spreads to various countries, and see country-by-country how much of each population gets sick and dies. The game gives real-time alerts on-screen about how countries are reacting to news of the disease by shutting down hospitals and schools, and closing airports and borders.
 Kara told Business Insider that Pandemic 2's spike in plays is happening "for obvious reasons," as coronavirus spreads. But coronavirus' serious implications have raised questions about whether Pandemic 2 should exist at all, and whether the game's parody on a worldwide pandemic is harmful. "It's a little tricky. Games are meant to make light of things, but this is something that is affecting a lot of people," Kara said. "It's kind of a gray area. The game is supposed to be fun, but when it touches on real life stuff, we don't know what to do." https://www.businessinsider.com/coronavirus-pandemic-2-computer-game-second-life-amid-outbreak-2020-3?r=US&IR=T |
