The best game to ever come out of South Africa is called "Grand Theft Country". Absolutely brilliant game. The aim of the game is to become President of the country with a few sub quests along the way:
- Build a mansion/estate for a few million. Special side quest: include an enormous swimming pool with the stated aim of it being used as a backup fire hydrant
- Buy a new Presidents jet for a few billion
- Go on trial (and exonerated, of course) for rape and have unprotected sex with someone that is HIV positive. Special side quest: claim that having a shower afterwards would protect you from contracting HIV
- Marry (at least) 6 women and garner a few mistresses along the way too
- Preside over widespread institutional corruption. Special side question: actually go on trial for bribery and corruption charges (and be exonerated of course)
- Devalue the currency as much as possible in the shortest possible time
- Cause ongoing power outages in the economic hub of the country on a regular basis
The game is built in a perpetual universe and the first of many expansion packs is due for release soon.
Indeed. But an odd title for a sequel to "Grand Theft Continent" - the one where you build a ship, sail for a few months, then exploit a continent, ship its natural resources home, and force the local people into slavery.
(don't think I am trying to undermine the seriousness of our problems now, but we can do better than pretending they started in 2009)
Not sure if we're talking about the same game. I've seen one advertised, apparently there's some cheats that allow you to 'buy' politicians. If on PC, you have to type GUPTA a few times for it to work ...
Interesting article, though I wonder about Ruan's struggles with gated roads, both Waze and Google Maps work well. I stay 5 minutes from Northgate btw.
