Political Game Recreates 1992 Prez Race (Clinton vs. Bush, Sr. vs. Perot)

Political Game Recreates 1992 Prez Race (Clinton vs. Bush, Sr. vs. Perot)

January 31, 2008
One of GP's favorite political games (okay, there aren't that many), President Forever 2008 + Primaries, is offering the 1992 presidential campaign as a free download for registered users.

Publisher 80soft discusses the scenario in a recent e-mail to customers:
You can now add the new, official 1992 campaign (including primaries) to your game.

Can Clinton weather his scandal to take the Democratic primaries? Will Bush lose to Buchanan? Can you manage Perot's comeback after he drops out of the campaign?

That's what I thought, but this is the 1992 primary? How could a scandal taking place while he's president affect him during his run for the presidency?

Maybe I'm too young to remember, but what Clinton scandal are they talking about?

@Truec

If 'Monica Levinsky' doesn't ring a bell then you're hopelessly young :).

Whitewater

That is the main one. There were several others, but this was the big one.

@ Truec

Whitewater happened before the race, and was brought up during the race.

The Monica Lewinsky thing had nothig to do with the 1992 race.

Okay, I missed seeing the bit about Whitewater completely, and thought we were talking about Lewinsky. I blame the fact that I haven't slept in nearly 22 hours.

IIRC, Not only Whitewater, but also google Gennifer Flowers.

Hmmm... In my opinion the best political game ever (for the PC) is called "The political Machine" developed and published by StarDock Entertainment. Details for the game can be found here: http://totalgaming.stardock.com/games/?id=PM


Ross forever FTW!!! =]

@ blase

I'm pretty sure Clinton didn't get impeached for lying about Monica Lewinsky during his presidential campaign lol
