I mainly remember playing this in high school instead of studying. This and Liberal Crime Squad were low-key enough that teachers never really noticed I was playing a game instead of looking at webpages.

Anyway, it's still a well-presented simulation of a post-revolution environment. Attempt land and education reforms, set up elections, try not to get assassinated by the CIA, it's all here. I do wonder how robust the simulation actually is, I imagine it's actually pretty basic. However, this game is mostly you reacting to proposals you are given, so if you approach it as an political adventure game it hardly matters.

It's playable in a lot of places, so I highly recommend it as it's still one of the best in its genre. Hell, I'd say the very 80's outlook it has makes it that much more worth playing. It's a bit of a time capsule.
