In the 1980s SSI was publishing not only excellent war games, but different kind of simulations too. Epidemic is the theme here, the title of the game makes it clear. The source of the infections are meteorites, which constantly bombard earth. The player can lunch missiles to eliminat them, while there are different cures to try in the individual regions to eliminate the infections. If the infection is too strong, the final solution is nuclear strike.

The graphics are good, and the game play elements are also very solid. The only problem is the tempo: on a normal difficulty level takes 20 minutes to reach mild infection level. Because of this it takes a very long time to get to the challenging part.
