MKZ - The Game


MKZ - The Game is a game developed by a couple of Dutch students of the Utrecht School of the Arts (HKU) for some design course (for virtual theatre and games).
In 2001 there was a Foot and Mouth Disease crisis in The Netherlands. Thousands of sheep had to be annihilated.
Quote from the makers of the game:
It's a tribute to all the animals killed during the recent Foot-and-Mouth-Disease crisis.

MKZ is the abreviation of Mond en Klauwzeer, which is Dutch for Foot and Mouth disease, thus the game is called MKZ - The Game.

What is the game about? Let's cite:
The Story

A farm. All the sheep there have to be killed to prevent Foot and Mouth disease to spread. But these sheep aren't sick. They need to be killed to PREVENT them from getting sick.

These sheep however, are not put down so easily. One of them, Mehetthew, hijacked the crane which is used to get rid of the bodies. However, now this crane can be used to prevent the sheep from getting killed!

It's up to you to pick up the vets who are killing your friends! You take control of the the crane, and grab those evil vets, and prevent them from killing your flock!


You can download a 6MB or 3MB version of the game for pc or mac at MKZ - The Game. It is fun, so enjoy. Save the Sheep!

Pink Sheep


By the way, on the website you can find a small discussion (authors section) on whether or not using pink sheep. Judge for yourself. Pink sheep below...
