Evil Genius is a 2004 real-time strategy and simulation video game developed by Elixir Studios and published by Sierra Entertainment. It was released for Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X platforms. The game puts players in the role of a criminal mastermind, building and managing an underground lair while attempting to complete a set of evil schemes.

Players are tasked with constructing a hidden base, hiring henchmen and minions to do their bidding, and using cunning to outwit law enforcement agents who come to investigate. To maintain control of their base, players must also manage their minions' wages, morale, and training. As the game progresses, players can unlock new items, henchmen and minions, and more complex facilities.

These objectives focus on stealing specific items, assassinating a target, or even launching an all-out assault on a major city. Players can build doomsday devices and use them to blackmail the world for money or resources.

Players can choose to play as one of three criminal masterminds: the megalomaniac Maximus, the mad scientist Dr. Evil, or the technological mastermind Dr. Tesla. As they progress through the game, they can expand their base, hire more minions, and research new technology and equipment to help them complete their schemes. With a combination of strategy and sneaky tactics, players can become the ultimate Evil Genius.
