Major Update to President Forever 2008 + Primaries

October 15, 2008

Theory Spark has issued a hefty patch for its excellent campaign sim, President Forever + Primaries.

The game has been decribed as "part SimCity, part C-SPAN" by the Washington Post. It's certainly the deepest of the current crop of political games.

If you're a current player, be sure to grab the update, as auto-patching has been disabled.

I'm not feeling it...  It seems like it targets voters, but leaves out gamers...

d.vel.oper: @sql: I'm assuming we're talking about more here than just endpoint compression?
