Typically, when video game players aim for a high score, they do it for bragging rights. Unless you're in a structured e-sports tournament, there's not much in the way of stakes for gobbling the most ghosts or fragging the most noobs.
A major exception arose in the nation of Tunisia on Monday, when the makers of a game called Bagra (which translates in Arabic to "Cow") rewarded its top player with the gaming world's first-ever real-life cow giveaway. Her name is Pamela, and as news site Tuniscope reported this week, that cow was loaded onto a truck and driven to the home of the iOS and Android game's top-performing cow herder.
The game asks players to tap the screen and position a variety of UFOs above a herd of grazing cattle. Players also get bonuses if they spend real-life money in the game, and reports didn't confirm how much cash the winners had to spend in the game to top the charts. We imagine the cost was less than paying for an entire cow outright. (Runners-up were reportedly given gizmos as prizes.)
