Title: Hey bitches let's play HIDDEN AGENDA
Post by: KvP on 14 May 2009, 00:47
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.

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.
