DOS Games Discussion

I always dreamed of making a game based on Elections. One can enter name, party, and run inall States with a random n umber mto project win or loss, and other candidates, real or not.

Another would be based on real estate.

Any ideas or a newbie?

You'd be best to do something like this in HTML as its cross platform and HTML is the easier language for something you want to do it in..

If you situate the game in the US make it a kind of a telly show.

You should certainly give Power Politics a look.

A modern political simulation game is "President Forever":
