About

Despair is Lloyd Burchill's darkly comic 1997 pestilence simulator for the classic Mac, a black-and-white sandbox in which you wreak your wrath on dozens of tiny helpless computer people. It is less a game than a toy: a stage for orchestrated cruelty against pixelated victims.Plagues at Your FingertipsYour arsenal includes diseased sheep, neutron bombs, volcanoes, fire, ice, and lightning. People fall from above and you place objects that kill them in increasingly inventive ways, with the satisfaction coming from staging the perfect chain of disasters.A Toy More Than a GameThere is no real win condition. Despair is built for short, gleeful sessions of experimentation, closer in spirit to SimCity's destruction menu than to a structured strategy title.CompatibilityThe 68k binary runs on System 6.x through Mac OS 9, with crisp black-and-white graphics. Sound is silent under Mac OS 9 but the simulation otherwise plays cleanly.
