OT- SuperPower

[sianews]

Anyone ever heard of this game?

Seems it due out this week, could it be the Civ3 that Civ3 wasn't?

It looks like a sequel to the game Shadow President made in 1992 and the Shadow President sequel Cyberjudas in 1996.

I was thinking about buying it. Depends on the price.

This belongs in the "other games" forum, by the way.

Holy crap I'm excited about this game. It is what I've always wanted to do with the rest of my life... benevolent world domination!

And it is much more detailed than Civ3 in modern terms, which is all I really enjoy about Civ3. I saw a screenshot of the CIA options and it had stuff like rigging elections, inciting revolts, who to blame for it all... it was great
Hopefully I can just leave battles to generals though, they look very uninteresting.

Sounds good.
Has anyone of you read an independant review?
Or played the demo?

Anyway, I won't say it's like Civ, it's another type of game but one that could really be great if it lives up to its promises.

P.S.: Yeah, it belongs in the "other games" forum

Man, this sounds like a good one! (I have no experience with its predecessor though.) Wonder how big that database is though....

I've been looking everywhere for CyberJudas, because I loved Shadow President...where'd you find it?

 

[Hitro]

What kind of game is Cyberjudas anyway?
Never heard of that one...

 

[amadeus]

It's a game where you kind of run the United States foreign policy (very little in terms of domestic issues.) Spying, warfare, economic and military aid, etc.

I played the demo, which dosen;t have many features - pretty cool though. However, the few people that do have the game say it is VERY buggy .

 

[Greadius]

There is a demo out? I have to finish my paper before I can play a game (but for some reason wasting time on message boards is okay...)

I imagined it would be buggy... I always wait for reviews, and actually believe the negatives. Learned my lesson by wasting hard-earned cash on a bad/unfinished product.

Hmm... since Secretary of State is my dream job, can I justify buying this game as educational?

 

[Pellaken]

I likes shadow president better cause you would play 1 second a day or something similar. I'd just adjust the budjet, and watch the economey take off like a rocket. by the end, the USSR and and China were Socail-Democracies

That looks awesome! I'm getting it, bugs or no bugs...
