Power Politics

Windows 3.x - 1992

One of the most comprehensive political simulations ever released, Power Politics puts you in command of a US presidential campaign.

In contrast to the realism of SSI's excellent President Elect, here you can run many what-if scenarios, pitting, for example, John F. Kennedy against Ross Perot. After choosing 3 candidates (Democrat, Republican, and Independent), plan your campaign in detail for each major town in every state, including what issues to tout in advertising and debates. There are reams of statistics to please all but perhaps the candidate himself, and you can even hire a spin doctor if the campaign is going badly. Thumbs up!

Note: If the crack doesn't work for you, you can download the password table from the game's official site below.

How to Play

Pre installed archive may not work!

You can install the game on Windows XP at least, but you have to mount the first ISO file, and change the mounted image when asked during setup. After setup, replace the original files with the cracked files provided.

I have the win 3.x and already installed it but when I click the file it said "cannot find file or one of its components" what should I do?

This game runs off if Windows 3x, that means that you have to install Windows 3, or 3.1 inside of DOSbox. You can get a free legal copy from WinWorld PC (It, like this game is Abandonware) and install it on DOSbox as you would any program, them type "WIN" to open Windows. I'm stuck at the point where it asks you for a Password, which has no hint or clue on how to get or decode it.

The game requires Win 3.1. There are some preinstalled Win 3.1 in Dosbox archives out there. Or you could do a free download at old games.

How the heck do I get this to work? There were no instructions. I followed the usual DOSbox procedures and when I would use election.exe, it told me "this program requires Microsoft Windows"
I don't get it?
