Haha I absolutely love pandemic and would enjoy it a lot on the BB! 38 days eh? On realistic or the other mode?
38 days on realistic to infect the entire planet, took longer to stay killing people off. I just took away all the symptoms, then later on hit them with as much crap as I could before they started to notice signs of disease.
Those people in Madagascar, always seem to close up shop early on, but if you get them, everyone else seems to go down the tubes, pretty fast.
As long as the airports stay open, you can pretty much get them all.
