Big One, The is an innovative (and only?) game that simulates the effects of an earthquake hitting Los Angeles area. It is your job as mayor to restore order to the city with public approval. You must allocate resources efficiently to cope with a multitude of problems that arise from the disaster, e.g. dispatch utility crew to repair broken gas lines, evacuate people from fires, and send national guards to subdue riots. It’s fast, fun, and easy to get into, with good on-line help to boot.
