Likewise, your Shadow President supercomputer is not invincible. Your computer may slow down significantly if there are too many things going on in the world for it to monitor all at once.
Disasters, both natural and human-influenced, may also affect your computer's capability. When you issue orders for your country's policies with other countries, you often have to wait up to a week to see the results in matters that involve negotiations, such as peace conferences or economic arrangements.
Some happen overnight, like political condemnation of another country, and others may occur almost immediately, such as blocking or restricting trade with a country. When your orders are finished, you will see the results in statistical form; these statistics determine the country's attitude towards other countries and its own people. As president, your responsibility is to find peaceful alternatives to war, whether America is directly involved or not.
However, there are times when you must decide to make a show of force in order to get the other countries to listen to you.
If a power-hungry country threatens to invade a peaceful country, you can put pressure on the aggressors by establishing a military presence in the victim and neighboring countries.
You can also dissuade the enemy country by cutting or eliminating trade, making it more difficult and expensive for the country to start a war. Just because the country declares war doesn't mean there will be bloodshed.
You can file complaints with the UN, demand global sanctions against that country, and try to form a coalition to oppose them. You can even send the CIA to give arms to rebels in the country, initiate a coup d'etat to overthrow the government hopefully a better one will replace it , or assassinate the leader.
If all else fails, you'll have to fight. Hopefully, you can stop the country before it gains nuclear warhead capabilities and decides to try it out.
One factor that influences your actions is your popularity rating. Your popularity is based on surveys completed by the American citizens, and reflects your actions.

What if Iraq was allowed to invade Kuwait, and eventually conquered Jordan and Saudi Arabia, thus gaining control over most of the world's oil?
What if Germany and Japan became the world's economic powerhouses and America's quality of life dropped significantly? What if the world's natural resources were depleted? If you don't want to play one of the scenarios that come with the game, you can experiment leading your country in different ways; you can even be a true "shadow president" and try to invade countries and do pretty much anything the president shouldn't do.
The major drawbacks in Shadow President are the lack of a US Senate to affect your decisions and the inability to visit other countries to try and strengthen ties with them. Instead of actually living the life of a president, you lead your country from a computer screen, much like the one in Maelstrom. Shadow President makes up for this with its strong gameplay and challenging AI. Much of the dialogue from your advisors consists of sentences patched together, but it is enough to convey the information you need to know.
Though Shadow President is a complex game, the tutorial makes the game easy to learn. Shadow President includes the CIA World Factbook in its entirety, and though the Factbook is only a reference and is unaffected by the game, you can get a good idea of what certain countries may do and what their past is.

The game begins with a tutorial for those new to Shadow President. As the leader of the United Stares of America, the most powerful nation on earth, you have the entire planet at your fingertips! I used to have this. Where's the fun if you can't successfully invade the world though? Reyce 0 point. Though this type of game has been surpassed by more detailed titles there is some charm to be found in the high level scale on display. I just hope you like some hideous menu displays.
ScrimmyBingus 30 points. Oxley 2 points. I had this problem where whenever I tried to preform a surgical strick the game would run a garbled version of the animation and then freeze. So if this happens to you just turn animations off in the options. Very good game. Very good in that it's the kind of game your get stories from. My friends who're put off by the gameplay which they could get into because they are facsinated by what plays out.
I find it interesting that you or another nation cannot actually start a tradional nuclear holocaust. What happens is a brief nuclear exchange, followed by the intiator best to not even retaliate, honestly being deposed, assassinated, or devestated by the international community.

Kuurus -5 points DOS version. Can't get it to work on Win 7.
