President Forever

[Nation]

For all those who also play the election simulation "PF" game, there is a new patch out for the game which has three new scenarios: 1960, with Nixon/Kennedy, 1980, with Carter/Regan/and...yes, Anderson/Lucey in case Miami wants in. Also has 1992 with Perot as a strong independent! Really cool.

Also now has the "battleground" states marked as either striped red/blue, with the too-close-to-call states in white. Much better than the old version.

I won with Kennedy, 53% of the popular vote and 398 electoral votes. Love those debates.

Will probably experiment with Clinton sometime over the weekend, see how well I can do with Perot, too.

Man, I got two scandals with Clinton in less than a week. Pretty realistic, now that I think about it.

It costs about $12 to download it, and you can pay an extra 6-7  I think to get a CD sent to you. Same goes for the patch.

This is the 2004 version, cooler than the 2000 one.

Here's the patch: http://dl.filekicker.com/send/file/142427-GSBD/pforeverfull110patch_filekicker.e

patch = update. If you already bought the game, you can download the update (patch) for it.

How do you actually rewrite the files? I can't find a way to access any of them.

Even if it's not completely realistic, it's fun up the wazoo.

BEET! Vote in the fantasy election! In the voting booth thread! There's still time! go! go!

I fooled around with the programming code and made Ralph Nader into a viable third-party candidate. Gave him a better edge in states like California, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, Maine, etc. Gave him money, too. Was able to win 153 electoral votes in a three-way race with Rudy Giuliani and Howard Dean. Oh man.
