It's the one and only game made in the 80's in which you run a Central American country and attempt to lift it out of ruin through wise governance! Make sure to not piss off the Amurkans!
Play it you cunts! (http://www.abandonia.com/en/games/138/Hidden+Agenda.html)
Yeah
-
Yeah this? This crap is hard. But really fun. I tried playing it thinking What Would Obama Do, I think that set my record at about 3 1/2 years.
-
Well, i managed 4 years as El Presidente (Chávez) and it is damn hard. I don't like the level of control that the USA likes to hold over you at all.
-
I played this and I can't remember how far I got, but basically, I didn't help much at all. Nothing got better, the former government went underground and started killing innocent civilians or activists and shit like that. It was terrible.
-
I think I'm putting down an uprising a season at this point, but things seem to be going well.
-
Oh, btw: Did I mention that one of the uprisings was led by one of my cabinet members? Dude apparently says he hates corruption but was basically A-OK with overlooking war crimes. Whatever, man, whatever. Have fun fighting off my loyal army of communist agitators.
Oh, hey, look; I've been re-elected. What now, bitches?
Uh, looks like I may have annoyed Amurrika though.
-
I had Hidden Agenda confused with Shadow President (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadow_President) which I think I have to try and find.
-
Yeah, massive popular support for a nationalist army is a great thing, but Amerikuh ain't be havin none of that.
-
Well fuck them! Benevolent socialist president Pedro Cebolla deMontequilla survived three years in office with incredible popular support (and a completely bankrupt country)!
-
I am confused. On my third try, it sent me to the encyclopedia entry saying that the Junta council had appropriated three years for formation of a stable government, and I had helped them reach that goal. The end of the encyclopedia stated that I was going into my fourth year, but that the entry was written well after my tenure as presidente. Does the game only go for three years max?
-
Aww, only three years :(
I managed to survive three coup d'etats, though.

So, you turned into a mini America? (I kid I kid)
Sounds fun, I have to try it out.

Basically, yeah. I tried coming up with a land reform program to give back to the proletariat, but it was really slow to work and didn't really solve anything, I had to impose set figures for food to try and deal with the shortages, and I wanted to dismiss the leader of my military because he was guilty of war crimes, but every time I tried the same dude popped up and was like, "Dude, fuck you! Are you fucking nuts?" So by the second or third year of my presidency I was locked in this circle of futility as the former government organized and started killing people.
