Real Lives: An EDUCATIONAL GAME

[Berserker]

It's been a while since we've played an educational game (math blaster, etc.) but anyone here play real lives? Basically, it's just a sim where you get to choose where you're born in the world (Africa, China, US, etc.) and live out your life: a piss poor farmer, a rich guy, a bum, etc. Random scenarios will affect your life and get in your way, and each life is short (around 20-30 mins) so you can play tons of lives in a short period of time. It's a brief game that you can play during extra time or when you're bored.

What was your best life? Your worst? Craziest?

(Link. Costs money to play more than 3 times, but there's a crack you can download. I'm not telling where, but it's not hard to find.)

So far my favorite was when I was born as a rich kid in Japan who lived off his parents' money until he met a girl, reformed my life by volunteering, had bad relations with my son because I was caught up with work, had a rich but unhappy life, then moved to the Bahamas. Later, I found out my son had died a businessman and did not get to the 'free Carribean sea' like I did; I died alone and of depression afterwards.

I got bored and wrote a short bio for him, filling in details and posting it on the internet...

You were born a girl today in a village in Angola's Lunda Sul Province, not far from the city of Saurimo. Your parents have named you Sekayi. Sekayi Kgopong.

And so my virtual real life begins in God knows where, and I'm a chick. This will interesting.

Edit: Within the first year, my father join (And then left) the military, and I stopped growing due to not having enough protein, then contracted Malaria.

Near the end, my daughter moved out and got married and got me 9 grandchildren. I moved to the city and got a better job as a secretary (I was a musician back in my old village). I had on and off money problems, and was frequently arrested for being in politics. I never got to live out my dream of being an athlete, and my husband died at 54, I dated for a bit but all the men kept leaving me. I died at 57 of cervical cancer.

New life!

Interesting. I had a lot of trouble finding information though, I couldn't see or affect anything to do with my family.

There are also a few bugs. My character was infertile, but later a random event got my wife pregnant. I divorced her, the *****.

I had 3 games.

Once I was a girl from Taiwan, artist and workaholic, desperately trying to support her family and no-good husband she was to moral to divorce, dying of exhaustion.

The next time I was a strong male from an eastern nation, who knocked up his girlfriend twice (and was left by her when proposing to marry, saying I was crazy for suggesting that...) and married again, having a total of ten children, supporting them as a career soldier. Died from unhealthy habits of smoking and alcoholism, but a very very happy man at 41.

The last time I was an Italian criminal who happened to be infertile. I brought my wife to Berkely California to lay waste with burglaries and fraud, when my wife left me. I found a younger, more attractive trophy wife and stayed with her, doing some time and eventually dying of prostate cancer at 62.
