Reviews: What People Think About Cold War Dare

Knight Who Says "Ni!"

Rating: 5/5

This is an excellent educational game that is a quick play and free; it serves its task well—recalling what it takes to "win" at the Cold War. The app can be a bit challenging to maneuver, but this app is an improvement over the web version. It is also more forgiving if you wish to restart the one campaign of the game. The playability is of course limited (historically), but if you play with the settings you can play a bit of alternate history along the way. I highly recommend this game for teens and up; folks of all ages interested in history will find this game interesting!

This is the best game I ever had. It’s very realistic. And I love that you have to make the right choices. Just bush was not president during the Cold War. And other countries as well where in the Cold War like China. And you forgot about the sues crisis in the Middle East. The president when the Berlin Wall fell was Ronald Reagan not bush and the War was between 20 and 30 years not 2.

Hey, I really want to try and enjoy this, but I can't get into the game. It plays the intro sequence but every time I hit "get started", the game kicks me out. Please take the time to fix this

About Cold War Dare

The year is 1989. You are President of the United States in transforming times. After forty years of oppression, the people of Eastern Europe are daring to defy their Communist overlords at home and in the Soviet Union. And as President, you too face daring decisions: how far will you go to encourage democratic reform? How much will you risk a Soviet crackdown on these freedom-seeking peoples? Will your efforts help bring democracy to Eastern Europe, or will you provoke the Soviet Union to bring down its wrath, setting the cause of freedom back by decades?

This is a strategy game about presidential decision-making in the context of the Bush 41 presidency in those epochal years of 1989 and 1990. As Poland legalizes Solidarity, as the Berlin Wall falls, as people in every country take to the streets seeking greater freedom and human rights, the world is changing under your feet. As President, you must analyze changing situations, weigh risks, and make decisions, all while trying to keep your alliances healthy, your relationships with foreign leaders strong, and the drive towards freedom and democracy always moving forward. And in the end, you can compare your successes and failures with those of President Bush 41.
