Shadow President is a geopolitical simulator with a 90's cyberpunk twist. You play as the newly-elected president of the United States using a program called "The Shadow Network". Will you bring world peace and make alliances, or will you nuke the world and take on the entire globe for yourself?

Thank you, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.

Artist's Notes

HANDSSET.PCX and THREATEN.PCX have some really bland notes at the bottom.

Anti-Piracy

Should the game detect any alteration to itself, this message appears.

Naughty, naughty! It is illegal and unethical to tamper with our copyright!

Unused Sting
