4.0 out of 5 stars A Game for Diplomacy, May 2, 2006

By	Dennis Liu "Mr. Liu" (West Sacramento, CA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Fun:3.0 out of 5 stars 

You are basically the President of the United States. This game mostly focuses on foreign policy. It starts off right before Desert Storm and the Fall of the Soviet Union, but after the Fall of Berlin. There are many issues you have to deal with, such as a bad economy, and certain diplomacy issues. What you do with other countries also affect your leadership effectiveness. There is alot of reading in this game, but if you get used to the game, you can skim through it. This game will basically teach you all the countries in the world in 1990, and the powers. I've never beat this game, I don't think you can beat this game, but I'm assuming the goal is to achieve global peace, which I've never done. You can also do teh opposite which is to start a nuclear war or a regular ground war. Remember you are still an elected official, so you can also be impeached and even assasinated.

This game has low graphics, after all what do you epect from a Dos game, but its a good educuational game that can teach foreign diplomacy and trade. I've stopped playing this game many times, and then started playing again, so it has a high replayability. Don't get this game if you're not interested in learning about international relations. But if you are interested, this will be a good treat.
