President Elect puts you in control of any US presidential campaign between 1960 – 1988, in either historical or ahistorical mode. The game is turn-based, and you must allocate “political action points” (PAP) for various actions. Harking perhaps to real politics, you allocate the percentages of time to spend on critizing your rival and dodging questions in a national debate– without ever needing to state your platform An arguably “realistic” sim in this way.
