Omega Virus

The Omega Virus is a talking electronic board game released by Milton Bradley in 1992. It was designed by Michael Gray, who also created the board games Mall Madness and Dream Phone. The game involves collecting weapons and room keys to destroy the computer virus that has taken over a space station, while either hurting or helping your fellow players.

Why is Omega Virus Popular?

The Omega Virus is significant because it was one of the first electronic board games to incorporate voice technology. It was also unique in that it combined elements of deduction, exploration, and combat.
