Shadow President is a geopolitical simulation video game released in 1993 for the PC by DC True containing elements of cyberpunk and dark science fiction.
Using a timeline that starts during the end of the Ogaden War, players can prepare Kuwait to be invaded by Iraq during Operation Desert Shield.
After dealing with the Iraqi adversaries, the player can opt to overthrow the military overlords and political cartels that are keeping the people of South America and Africa in relative poverty.
Managing the budget of the United States, sending aid to foreign countries, dealing with diplomatic crises, and even fighting wars are a largely unavoidable aspect of the game.
[3] Chuck Moss of Computer Gaming World in 1993 wrote that Shadow President was a good learning tool but that, "As a simulation, it has certain real-world problems [and] certain ... anomalies", such as Iraqi forces being much more powerful than they actually were at the time of the Gulf War.
