About Cold War Dare
The year is 1989. You are President of the United States in transforming times. After forty years of oppression, the people of Eastern Europe are daring to defy their Communist overlords at home and in the Soviet Union. And as President, you too face daring decisions: how far will you go to encourage democratic reform? How much will you risk a Soviet crackdown on these freedom-seeking peoples? Will your efforts help bring democracy to Eastern Europe, or will you provoke the Soviet Union to bring down its wrath, setting the cause of freedom back by decades?
This is a strategy game about presidential decision-making in the context of the Bush 41 presidency in those epochal years of 1989 and 1990. As Poland legalizes Solidarity, as the Berlin Wall falls, as people in every country take to the streets seeking greater freedom and human rights, the world is changing under your feet. As President, you must analyze changing situations, weigh risks, and make decisions, all while trying to keep your alliances healthy, your relationships with foreign leaders strong, and the drive towards freedom and democracy always moving forward. And in the end, you can compare your successes and failures with those of President Bush 41.

The game keeps on glitching out, where I'm stuck on one stage. For example, I got stuck on "Make a decision" and nothing happened. It didn't transition to the next stage, I couldn't interact with the map. The only thing I could interact with was the meters, the help button, and the mute button.

The game made no poltical sense. Options that would be fesible were declined as the president didnt do it that way.... the whole game is becoming freinds with nations and then boom democracy. Its an international joke just like amercian politics.

Round 7, Formidabble mode: Bulgaria and Rusdia are the only communist countries left, problem is i can't create any new events in any nation state, so I'm pretty much stuck, can't i skip the ' create event' option?
