What's An Appropriate Game To Play On Election Day?

[Rogmeister]

Patriotic Pinball?
Perhaps some kind of war game? Any good American Revolution games? Are there any American Revolution games?

If only they would've come out with "Socks the Cat Rocks the Hill"...

[Ed Oscuro]

Two Crude Dudes?

Hmm...first thought was Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja.

Yes for the SNES. It is called "Liberty or death" or something stupid like that.

[Nez]

Hmm welll ummm.....

Frusterated by the question I'm going to beat some heads with Bill Clinton in Ready to Rumble Boxing.

[shai hulud]

there is a new PC game out called The Political Machine

maybe Liberty or Death for Genesis

North and South for NES (everyday is a good day for this one)

[Queen Of The Felines]

Campaign '84 for the Colecovision.

Or you could be like me and play Katamari Damacy all night long so I don't have to watch election updates every ten minutes. LOL

[Ed Oscuro]

Also known as "The Arthritis Simulator," eh?

hmm..five hours left in the day...let's see if I can make it :P

[Rogmeister]

Thanks, Joe...sounds like a cool game but I'm afraid it's not in my library. Maybe by the next election...

[Querjek]

Postal 2, anyone?

[Qixmaster]

operation secret storm?

[Rogmeister]

...or maybe a Captain America game?

[fergojisan]

How about Tax Avoiders?

:D

[Richter Belmount]

manhunt or shaq fu

that punchout type of game with bush and kerry online?

[Rogmeister]

Manhunt? Shag Fu? I don't see the connection unless this is also "Play A Sucky Game Day"... O_O

[Richter Belmount]

thats the point :D

[Richter Belmount]

but hey! I loved manhunt =P
I mentioned shaq fu cause i just think the elections are gonna suck might as well play a crappy game.

[SoulBlazer]

Political Machine is a FUN game. :D

I'll try Campaign 84 for the CV, though.....

[OldSchoolGamer]

Resident Evil :D

[Rogmeister]

And Resident Evil is appropriate in...what way? Do you consider John Kerry the master of unlocking? :/

[Richter Belmount]

he does kinda look like a zombie though

[spoon]

NARC

[racecar]

-state of emergency-
gta

Parodius Da!, of course!

[vintagegamecrazy]

I think Campaign 84 about sums it up, we may want to play Liberty or Death one Genesis, cuz' lets face it gamers if Bush gets elected we get Liberty, and Kerry we just get Death.

[Ed Oscuro]

Yep, especially with Bush's support of the Patriot Act! Yay.

Let's leave the politics outside please ;)

Replace KD with San Andreas and you've got my plans.

[lendelin]

After this election campaign, how about "Bloody Roar 2004," "Devil May Cry" or "Chaos Legion"?

Thinking back about all the brochures I got, I'd prefer "Freaky Flyers.'

[SoulBlazer]

WTF is that screenshot? Uncle Sam? :hmm:

[NoahsMyBro]

I can't believe nobody's mentioned <a href=http://www.atarihq.com/2678/newstuff/planet.html> this one </a> yet - it was my first thought.

[kainemaxwell]

Been playing Vice City to vent most of today anyhow.

[XxMe2NiKxX]

Political Machine r0xx0rs your b0xx0rs. I love it.

[Joelius]

My Politically incorrect game of the day: San Andreas, just becuase it's fun and new. and things go boom.

[soniko_karuto]

north vs south

[The Manimal]

North VS South - NES LOL

[robotriot]

"For President" of course ^^ - http://www.back2roots.org/Games/Files/For%20President%2C1/

[Nz17]

Personally, I played the songs with an American or patriotic tie in Dance Dance Revolution such as "In the Navy," "Living in America," "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," etc. Worked up quite the sweat actually. ;)

[PhoeniX]

I wish I had an english translation of the game, "U.S. Presidential Election." I remember reading about it from NP (issue 56, pg.60), in a section called, "Games That Never Made it to America," it was a famicom game from 1988 that (as the article suggests) never found its way to the NES.

...Anyway, I thought about that article as soon as I read the topic (several hours ago) and instead of playing a game tonight I have been systematically reading every damn issue in turn until I finally found the article in issue 56. Well, it wasn't as fun as playing a game but my uncertainty seemed an apt state of mind given the status of the election.

If the war criminal wins (and it looks like it, you poor Americans), Desert Strike.

[davidleeroth]

T2: Judgement Day
Spiritual Warfare
Dead To Rights

Hmm...first thought was Bad Dudes vs. Dragonninja.

Me too! Damn, you beat me to it..

This was the first arcade game I ever beat back when I was 10 years old. I beat it in Wash. DC when my aunt took me on a trip there...I couldn't have been happier. I thought that game was the coolest thing in the WORLD.

"Are you a bad enough dude to rescue the president?"

[Kroogah]

Doom.

[Iron Draggon]

Pretty much any Koei game, as they all usually cast you in the role of a ruler who must decide how much to tax the population, manage resources, etc. One of my personal favorites is Gemfire. It's always a rush when you do well enough that the Pastha decides to help you. Kinda like having Limbaugh on your side. Both are very large whale-like creatures with incredibly fat asses.

[tritium]

I played football. I'm not a big fan of sports games, but a good football game is very American.

[Barbarianoutkast85]

In the new game informer magazine theres an article about this game I think its called Politics or something to that effect so if anyone has the newest Game Informer look it up to check me on it. Im in class right now otherwise id look.

[zmweasel]

I'm spending today playing GTA: San Andreas, wandering through the rural areas and killing everyone I see, under the assumption they voted for Bush.

Clay Fighter Sculptor's Cut

[Raedon]

[8bitnes]

Colonization for PC. Plus its a great game.

[NintendoMan]

MT Punch Out - NES

I am little Mac and all my opponents are replaced by George Bush!!!

[dreamcaster]

If you can get your hands on it, Propellor Arena for Dreamcast.

[CRV]

Secession having crossed my mind, I'll have to agree with North & South for the NES.
