Greeting gamers, I am new to this Forum, therefore I would like to say hello to you all, and hope you enjoy my ideas and comments.
We all know about the "future console" discussion, and what will/will not it be! So, to be different, because being unique doesnt hurt anybody, I have come up with a "future game"

We again, all know about the American bore, that dominates and wastes our precious time ; the President election. Gore or Bush; who cares.
This inspired me to come up with an idea, which will be snapped up by top publishers very soon, ( I should copyright this)

President Election Simulator: The most powerful man on the Earth.
Set in present time, you can choose your characters, Bush, Gore, ..... I dont know anyone else (sorry) You can even choose Clinton (not recommended) Your mission, inevitably, is to become the US President.
Using the "Kudo System" You have to gain points by doing charitable events, kiss new-born babies, help old ladies across the street. The more radical the action you do, the more Kudo points you recieve. Kudos ultimately lead to the big crunch. The game will actually correspond to real life events, an example, you wont actually win until they do a re-count in every BLOODY STATE.
When you achieve phase one, your next mission is to live up to the corrupt reputation every American president so rightly deserves.
Re-live the assasination of J.F.K, go back in time and watch the unusual events of Area - 51. Have sexual affairs with bimbos with rich parents.
If you get bored, start a war you cant finish, let the British win it for you, and then claim victory. As you can see, my game is very promising, and hopefully entertaining. I cant wait for your opinions. Peace people, Navy_dave.

A joke that you may not have seen that relates to this topic:

To the citizens of the United States of America,

In the light of your failure to elect a President of the USA and thus to govern yourselves, we hereby give notice of the revocation of your independence, effective today.

Her Sovereign Majesty Queen Elizabeth II will resume monarchical duties over all states, commonwealths and other territories. *Except Utah, which
she does not fancy. *Your new prime minister (The rt. hon. Tony Blair, MP for the 97.85% of you who have until now been unaware that there is a world outside your borders) will appoint a minister for America without the need for further elections. *Congress and the Senate will be disbanded. *A questionnaire will be circulated next year to determine *whether any of you
noticed.

To aid in the transition to a British Crown Dependency, the following rules are introduced with immediate effect:

1. * You should look up "revocation" in the Oxford English Dictionary. Then look up "aluminium". *Check the pronunciation guide. *You will be amazed at just how wrongly you have been pronouncing it. *Generally, you
should raise your vocabulary to acceptable levels. *Look up "vocabulary".
*Using the same twenty seven words interspersed with filler noises such as
"like" and "you know" is an unacceptable and inefficient form of communication. Look up *"interspersed".

2. * There is no such thing as "US English". *We will let Microsoft know on your behalf.

3. * You should learn to distinguish the English and Australian accents. It really isn't that hard.

4. * Hollywood will be required occasionally to cast English actors as the good guys.

5. * You should relearn your original national anthem, "God Save The Queen", but only after fully carrying out task 1. *We would not want you to
get confused and give up half way through.



6. * July 4th is no longer a public holiday. *November 8th will be a new national holiday, but only in England. *It will be called "Indecisive Day".

7. * All American cars are hereby banned. *They are cr*p and it is for your own good. *When we show you German cars, you will understand what we mean.

8. *Please tell us who killed JFK. *It's been driving us crazy.

Thank you for your cooperation.

"Have sexual affairs with bimbos with rich parents. "

Im assuming that there was supposed to be a comma after bimbos, or an 'and' The aim of every game should be to have sexual affairs with rich parents. The older the better. But not your own.

That would just be sick.

You don't think Navy_Dave is actually Elitesniper under an assumed alias do you?

I wasn't saying that it didn't deserve to win. I doubt that he even knew that the Campaign 84 game existed. It just happened to be the game of the week a while ago on ClassicGaming's website, so that's how I remembered it.

Yes it was a nice well written post. No complaints here. I just wanted to show off my wealth of knowledge ; )
