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.
- jinst8gmi 11y agoThe Gupta expansion pack is amazing.
- markatkinson 11y agoHahaha, for someone who doesn't ever laugh out loud, this made me lol.
- overlordalex 11y agoI thought you were serious, and now I'm sad that it doesn't actually exist
- GrandTheft 11y agoIt is with much regret that I have to inform you that it does indeed exist and its being played out as we speak :(
- fgandiya 11y agoSounds like an interesting game. You'll love the game the country just north of you made.
- GrandTheft 11y agoThat was the prototype demo. Once enough investors were fleeced, the Real Thing was built.
- alrex021 11y agoI heard that this game also comes with a free oneway ticket to Australia.
- zingar 11y agoIndeed. 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)
- nevi-me 11y agoNot 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.
