Civilization Machine

[Tambien]

This is an online game. The description, from the actual site, is

Click the red button to progress through the civilization cycle…and don't click to revert back to earlier stages.

I have been playing this for a little while, and have found out that at some of the later stages, not clicking leads to... not regression, exactly, but bad things. These include nuclear war.

Now, playing this always puts me in a philisophical mood, and it puts me in the perfect mindset for writing.

My question is, does it make others feel the same way.

Plese play the game for a bit, at least until the major cities stage (skyscrapers), and post the thoughts you had while playing here.

Thanks, and good luck!

No one?

There's not much substance to the game, really.

Thanks for this... but - call me a purist - shouldn't this be in this forum?

 

[Tambien]

I wasn't sure, so I put it here.

Clicking a red button to make the animation keep playing really does not count as a game, so no it doesn`t.

I'm pretty sure I lost.

This is more of an environmentalist rant.

Thanks, now I don't have to load it and get angry.

My skyscapers flew away as rockets. Does that mean I win?

Not really. I mean, don't waste your time playing it but it doesn't have anything to do with the environment that much, since the "ending" is actually nuclear warfare that destroys the civilization.
