However, according to the big red NO, the website doesn't support continuous downloads, so that means there's no chance for me to download it from that link.
Delete your temporary files and download again.

I've tried. It still stops and always at 18% or 33%. At 3 computers.

The only option is if there were an alternative link (uploaded again). 2 games were sent to me that way by one forum member using sendspace. If someone had the enough time to do so...

I'm guessing the link posted on the last page has expired? If so then that's some bad luck because I've been looking for that game forever.

Sorry, just realised what I'd done wrong. Apologies.

Default About the budget.

When I first start the game, I notice the budget is in deficit (i.e in the minus range), and no matter what I did to resolve it, it either chewed up my popular support or GDP.

Is there any other way to add earnings instead of raising taxes/tariffs?. Thanks in advance.

It's a pretty realistic game, I might add. Now I know why Presidents tend to sprout the greys a whole lot faster than normal.

I think I can confirm that the game breaks if you mess with the status quo...

After blasting Iraq so badly with surgical strikes that they couldn't strike ANYONE (ambition went down to 2 for some reason), I noticed my police state rating had shot through the roof. I spent the rest of my first year trying to fix that.

Only to notice at the start of the next year that France, South Korea, and Germany had allied with the USSR. "What the hell?," methinks.

Then I look at the ideologies. The Soviet Union? Developing Capitalism.

That's... going to be interesting to deal with...

Default downloading the game

Hi, when I downloaded Shadow President and went to unzip the file I got screensavers but not the actual game. There is no game on the download just screensavers. Can someone help me?

Thank you.

I just downloaded the archive and checked for you, it was fine. Perhaps you should try downloading it again, also I suggest you read our DOSbox tutorial

EDIT: I just tried running this under windows like the review suggests and it tends to hang during the title screen. Perhaps this is the problem you're referring to? The game seemed to run fine using VDMSound though, so I recommend using that.

First, thank you. It is nice to know someone will respond.

Ok, I have DOSbox and I have downloaded other games before here. But when I go to unzip Shadow President it says, "Install screen saver from Shadow President.zip." I had the same problem with King of Chicago. For example I get this list from Shadow President:

elecan.scr
eleccut.scr
election.scr
etc, etc (the list is long)

This does not happen to me with most games. Most of the games run fine but with this one all I get are screensavers. It is very weird.

*cough*
Not screensavers. Game data. The SCR extension is a coincidence. Just unpack everything in the game directory and use the DIR *.exe command in DOS to find the actual executable.
