Conflict

Diplomacy is the name of the game. You've been appointed President of Israel and your job is to lead your country to supremacy. You've got control over everything: armaments, spying and food supplies. The game is set in the year 1997. The political situation worldwide has deteriorated to the extent that war might very soon be in the offing.

You control everything by means of pop-up menus. The situation can be appraised by looking at newspaper reports and a political map. If you want to spy on someone or stock up on nuclear weapons you simply click on the appropriate box.

The game itself is essentially boring. If you're terribly into strategic games which have very little in the way of action, then it might appeal to you. Then again, snail breeding appeals to some people.
