I very much enjoyed The Political Machine 2008's different campaigns. While the 1860 election was entertaining (especially Barack Obama's 99% against Slavery), I particularly enjoyed the Europa and the Galactic Civilizations campaigns. I would very much love to see something this creative and hilarious make a comeback!
Additionally, I was wondering if The Political Machine 2008 might show up on Steam sometime. Who knows what happened to my original disk in 4 years, and if nothing else, I would love to replay the aforementioned campaigns.
Finally, I think it would be fascinating to do a simulation mode; you know, where you could either watch two CPU opponents battle it out across the nation or at least simulate to the "Election Night" stage and watch the map light up as The Political Machine predicts the near future for Obama v. Romney, or the incredibly improbable scenario of Franken v. Cain!
Can anyone speak to any or all of these 3 possibilities or shed light on the difficulties posed by them? Obviously, any and all opinions welcome.
