Midori releases Global Warming the game
Just because global warming is an inconvenient truth doesn’t mean learning about it has to be an inconvenient bore. French independent game and software developer Midori has just announced the release of its new game, titled Global Warming.
This game will put players behind the control of one of several characters, as a landfill is about to be set up beside their home.
Players must find a way to save their home from the dump by choosing an action card, which will affect their character’s various stats (finances, morale, and health) in the next few rounds. These action cards will further have an effect on the character’s surroundings (C02 emissions, waste, chemicals, etc). Further adding to unpredictability are the appearance of “accident cards,” which randomly occur to add a degree of complexity to gameplay.
Global Warming runs under the Phelios game engine (PTK), and is compatible with both Mac OS X (10.3.9 or higher), and Windows (95/98/ME/2000/XP/Vista) OS. Here are the technical requirements:
- 512 MB of RAM
- 450 Mhz Processor
- 3D openGL video card
A free game demo should be available for download over at the Midori site (read link). Or if you’re interested, the game’s full version can also be purchased and downloaded for US$ 9.95.
