The New Campaign Trail

[GregTheGreat657]

This site is all sorts of messed up for me. I can't find 1992, I tried playing their GA-GOV game and ended up with 2016-PRES, and when I tried to play 1996, I ended up with 1960.

I suck at these, though. I've never won a game above easy level. President Infinity is a lot more winnable for me, but their games also take way too much time.

You can find it on the Campaign Trail subreddit. Link: https://www.reddit.com/r/thecampaigntrail/comments/oxgyrk/1992_mod_v10_playable_clintongore/

It's already in the mod loader, ready to go.

I know, I was just making a remark about how I wasn't the only one who browses this site on a school computer. Heck, I'm typing this on my school computer.
