Way back when, I remember playing this game and managing to beat Reagan with Ted Kennedy in 1980 with a 269-269 tie. Don't ask me how I did it, but it took many, many hours and re-matches to pull off. With that said, trust me when I say that Reagan is UNBEATABLE in 1984. There is absolutely no way to beat him.
. . .
Ran 1984 as Mondale. I hit Reagan with two huge scandals on the home stretch. New Mexico was decided by 717 votes. Kentucky was decided by 755 votes. Georgia was decided by 4,614 votes.
To the dismay of Naso, Mondale broke 60% in Ohio.
Mondale/Ferraro, 55%, 394 EVs
Reagan/Bush, 43%, 144 EVs
Bergland/Lewis, 0%, 0 EVs
LaRouche/Davis, 0%, 0 EVs
You were saying?
Maybe I am mixing this up with another game? I think the one I played was called President Forever 1988. Or maybe it was President Elect. Either way, I spent hours trying to beat Reagan in '84 and only came away with a handful of states no matter what I did.
