Shadow President review

Computer Gaming World (1994): "Not for the jet jockey or the immediate gratification player, this simulation is an intricate and detailed simulation of global politics from the perspective of a national leader. Containing the date from the CIA/KGB Factbooks and scenarios that were factual or easily could have been, it has the dreaded “highly educational” appendage, but that doesn't mean that it should be passed by."

Collector's corner:

The game has a sequel called CyberJudas.

    Hey @gopadres19, I just replaced the game with a working copy that doesn't need to be installed. Try downloading and running SHADOW.EXE again.

    Okay, looks like I figured the animation things out. Now I'm having trouble getting it to fully start.

    Using D-Fend Reloaded, and whenever I try to "Run program", DOSbox tells me

    "Error in opening SHADOW.EXE
    c:SHADOW`1>"

    Any fix for this?
