I am new to Presidential Computer games and I would be interested in knowing if someone could advise on a game where a person can play previous election races such as 1960, 1968, 1976, 1992 & 1980 both major party nominees, primary candidates, and major Independents (Perot & Wallace).
I would also love a game where historical candidates from different years could play against each other. For example, it would be fun to play 1980 Reagan against 1960 JFK.
Any suggestions appreciated. Thanks.
President Elect 1988 you can do the 1980, Reagan v. JFK as a custom scenario. Good part is it's free!

One of my favorites parts of the game, is the good amount of VP candidates you can choose from with all, but 1 candidate having multiple options.
