A strategy game about presidential decision-making at the end of the Cold War.


The year is 1989. You are President of the United States in transforming times. After forty years of oppression, the people of Eastern Europe are daring to defy their Communist overlords at home and in the Soviet Union. And as President, you too face daring decisions: how far will you go to encourage democratic reform? How much will you risk a Soviet crackdown on these freedom-seeking peoples? Will your efforts help bring democracy to Eastern Europe, or will you provoke the Soviet Union to bring down its wrath, setting the cause of freedom back by decades? This is a strategy game about presidential decision-making in the context of the Bush 41 presidency in those epochal years of 1989 and 1990. As Poland legalizes Solidarity, as the Berlin Wall falls, as people in every country take to the streets seeking greater freedom and human rights, the world is changing under your feet. As President, you must analyze changing situations, weigh risks, and make decisions, all while trying to keep your alliances healthy, your relationships with foreign leaders strong, and the drive towards freedom and democracy always moving forward. And in the end, you can compare your successes and failures with those of President Bush 41. “Cold War Dare” is an educational outreach product by the George Bush Presidential Library.Credits:Directed and produced by Dr. Shirley Hammond, Director of Education, George Bush Presidential Library and Museum © 2016, George Bush Presidential Library Foundation Game design and development by eduweb.

Despite being old,it's a very fun game tho it did became a bit challenging for me to get a perfect run (i.e having all the nation's be blue).But despite that it's a very fun game,especially with the cutscenes and memos from your deputy there

This game sucks Even if you put it on easy mode its like your playing it in hard mode

The Soviet Union

This game is such a stupid game you can't even do anything on the easiest setting without losing I recommend that you don't get it.

I wanted to play as the leader of the Soviet Union. I wanted to change what happened. Make it completely opposite and watch what would have happened.
