Play Games To Save The World
Techtree News Staff, Sep 07, 2008 0737 hrs IST
...or face extinction!
We'll break it to you gently. It isn't looking good for us humans. According to the Global Extinction Awareness System (GEAS), a supercomputer that's been calculating how long we have to live, humans will be extinct by the year 2042.
That isn't really true, but you never know. You're faced with this doomsday scenario at the beginning of the game Superstruct, and must now collaborate with players all over the world to devise solutions that will save the world from impending doom. There will be disease, global warming, famine and all other nastiness to deal with, and people must come together to make it all go away, or let the species die a slow, messy death.
To the Institute for the Future--the game's creators--this is more than just a game. It's an experiment that aims to use the world's collective wisdom to solve today's problems, even predict the future. All they ask is for your own point of view. The game starts September 22, and will go on for six weeks. Will the result be salvation?
