In many ways this is the ulimate strategy management game, because it puts you in charge of the whole country. Taxes, interest rates, unemployment, budgets. It's all here and if you get it wrong, come election night you'll find yourself looking for a new job. The best of several government games made for the Spectrum.

1984
Incentive Software / £5.50
A game of government management that asks the player to use their judgement on the complex inter-related issues that govern the performance of the national economy. As the British Prime Minister, all you have to do is stay in power until 1999!
Tony Speed, although not particularly important, could probably have been improved upon; the program looks as though it's been written in Basic. But the real enjoyment comes from the daunting task of running the country. 7/10
John Being more or less a text-only game, colour and speed are of little importance; but they're used to good effect in both cases. 8/10
Mark The idea behind this game is both topical and interesting; it's ideal for economists and anyone else who would like to have a go. 7/10
