Changing rules starts a new game. Corrected mode removes only the selected event and makes catastrophes kill 75% of the population. Other original rules remain.

About this project
The original Who Wants to Live a Million Years? was released in 2008 by Swarm Interactive’s R. Scott Horner (programming) and Daniel Niblock (art and writing).
The goal of this restoration was simple: make the original Who Wants to Live a Million Years? run again without Flash. We rebuilt its functionality for modern browsers while keeping the original artwork, sounds, text and familiar layout.
This restoration was the first step toward the 2026 remaster. It preserves the feel and setup of the original, with a few bug fixes. Choose Remastered above to explore the newer artwork, expanded feedback and game options.
