Beware of trading scammers!

A subreddit for anything related to games (but not sports). "Related" means that posts must contain gaming-related content in the link/post body, not just a "forced" connection via the title or a caption added to the content.

"Generic" image macros/memes (where the character itself is not related to gaming) like Scumbag Steve, Good Guy Greg, etc. will be removed. Something that "reminds you of a game", or "looks like something from a game" is also not an appropriate submission.

I guess that shutting it down means accepting no more inbound ships/planes. An airport, for example, couldn't really well shut down with fifty inbound flights asking for permission to land.

Why the sadface then? I would consider it pretty lucky to be honest.

Except that the first time, you upgrade gradually, the way you would in any other game.
It takes a few tries to get to five tabs with symptomless parasites running.

Sometimes its hard as hell to get back off Madagascar. They still shut down their borders the moment someone sneezes.

Thats what happened, everyone just shut their borders as soon as they got wind of the disease. But for some reason central america got hit hard.

In Pandemic 2, countries can close ports/airports to prevent you(the disease)from entering and infecting their country. In Pandemic 2, Madagascar was NOTORIOUS for closing up shop at the hint of any infection. Preventing the player from completing the game usually. It spawned quite a few memes

Someone in Uzbekistan sneezes

President of Madagascar: !!!

President of Madagascar:Shut

President of Madagascar:Down

President of Madagascar:EVERYTHING!

People even began editing the wiki for Madagascar, creating legends about their swift safety protocols and disease prevention.

So for most people, the only way to beat the game is to start at Madagascar. But my friend says that's just cheating and it doesn't count. So much so, we had to prove to each other that we beat it w/o starting at Madagascar. Oh I should mention, what country you start in is randomly chosen by the computer.

I beat the game my third time playing the relaxed mode. Is realistic mode harder or does it just take more time?

[–]ValTM 0 points1 point ago
