Pestilence


Josie

Quistor -- now that I think about it, I own a game called Spearhead. It seems to be an expansion pack to Medal of Honor, which my son assures me is a WWII historical strategy game. I take it from your description that the educational value is actually quite minimal?

How about Tripolis: trifold tribulations or maybe dilemnas?

Hmmm....try these...

EPIDEMIC: The Deliverance of (town name)
or Damnation of (town name)

Or use Plague instead of Epidemic....Plague seems more Biblical, Epidemic is sort of modern.

Game sounds really interesting, can't wait!!

You guys are REALLY funny! This is a great thread. My contribution, small, and unfunny as it is: POLYHEDRON. I like the word.

Outbreak was Dustin Hoffman, Rene Russo and the monkey that was also on Friends (Yipes!). There is no copyright on names so anyone can use them.

Trinity's Triple Threat

How about Contagion or Scourge?

Hmmm.... scourge: "a cause of widespread or great affliction." This could cover both the gods and the politicians!

Hi Gang...............And thanks everyone for all the terrific input! What a stellar collection of imaginations hang out at Gameboomers! Truly impressive. By the way, Buka Entertainment says there's some really "good ideas" in there.

How 'bout "The Plague - There may be 50 ways to leave your lover, but there are only 3 ways out of the City of the Damned"

If they make a sequel, it can be called "Beyond the plague of (town name, but please not "Atlantis") II, a return to the City of the Damned"

Okay...from the titles given, I will put my vote in for City of the Damned. Will see if something else pops in my head but I did spend a whole day shopping so it is pretty empty right now.
Sounds like a cool game tho. Reminds me kinda of the movie Outbreak.
Thanks

I like Scourge. It makes me think of the flagellants in the Middle Ages who thought they could end the Plague by scourging themselves.

Who is the typical buyer of this game? There are people who are attracted to stark frightening names with a hint of violence. On the other hand, there are (timid, snobbish, squeamish?) people who would be put off by such a name. I would probably not buy a game called "Pestilence" for instance because it sounds uncomfortable, if not downright horrific. Maybe a more middle-of-the-road title (say, "Retribution") -- less putrid-sounding, evoking an emotion everyone understands.

On the other hand, I think some talented Boomer should definitely develop a game named "Beyond the Plague of Atlantis II: Return to the City of the Damned" strictly for whimsical reasons.
