Make-A-Wish: Ben's Game
Here's another wish for the video game buffs!
9-year-old Ben wished to design a video game to help kids with cancer fight back and relieve the pain and stress of cancer treatment.
Eric Johnston of LucasArts helped Ben achieve his dream. Eric not only created Ben's Game, but he involved Ben in every step of the video game-making process. Ben's physician also pitched in as the medical advisor for the game.
In Ben's game, you destroy all the mutated cells and collect the seven shields of protection from the side effects of chemotherapy. You get health from the hospital, medication from the pharmacy, and emotional health at home. Each shield is guarded by a different monster:
- Colds — Iceman Monster
- Barf — Robarf Monster
- Chicken Pox — Big Chicken Monster
- Fever — Fire Monster
- Bleeding — Vamp Monster
- Hair Loss — Qball Monster
- Rash — Tornado Monster
