Persuasive Games releases The Arcade Wire: Bacteria Salad November 29, 2006 - by Ian Bogost
Your goal is simple: Harvest mass amounts of cheap produce and sell it for as much profit as possible. But watch out for floods, animal waste, and agroterrorists or your greens might turn, uh - brown — and your customers will suffer. There's a bit of strategy here built around the question of which is safer, small family farms or big industrial ones. Is it possible to run large agribusiness safely? The game is completely scatological, so watch out. If you haven't played the other games in The Arcade Wire series, or if you haven't played recently, you can still try out Airport Security or Oil God. POST A COMMENT
