Retro Arcade-Style Game Explains Science of Alzheimer's
From: Medical Design Technology - 12/18/2015

Alzheimer-s Research UK has created a cross-platform game designed to help
people understand the biology of Alzheimer’s and other dementias.

The game - Amyloids - is available for free from app stores as well as being
playable on the charity's website.

The game is an homage to classic arcade games of the late 70s and early 80s.
Over 24 levels, players learn about the biology of Alzheimer's, and must use
their skill to protect brain cells from amyloid and other harmful proteins
known to build up in the brain in diseases that cause dementia.
