3. Pandemic II

No, we are not talking about the pandemic in the context that you are now used to hearing. Instead, we are talking about Pandemic II, a game extraordinaire. The game isn’t heavy on looks and graphics, but don’t judge it just now. It does promise loads of fun and adventure.

Pandemic II is quite a fun and mind-boggling adventure and strategy game. (Any similarity with the prevailing situation is unintentional).

Beyond the overly simple interface and visuals of the game, you will find an unusual game in which your mission is to wipe out humankind as effectively as you can. To do so, you will be using bioweapons.

You will have deadly viruses and pathogens at your disposal. You will have to decide what strategy you will use to spread the virus globally. For instance, you can choose to spread it via an animal or can contaminate the crops.

You will also be responsible for selecting what symptoms your targets will show. You have to be very discreet so that the disease is not detected and hence treated easily. Yes, it is highly morbid, especially in today’s time. But, it surely is addictive.

4. Beneath a Steel Sky

If you were playing games back in the early 90s, the chances are that the name rings a bell to you. Beneath a Steel Sky was considered a classic game long ago. It was released in 1994 as a point-and-click adventure game featuring a cyber world.

However, at the last moment, you are set free when the helicopter, carrying you, crashes.
