PARKVILLE, MD -- JANUARY XX, 2009 -- Global media coverage of next weeks Inauguration has started to include Commander in Chief, a geo-political simulation game for PCs that puts players in President Obamas shoes starting January 20th. Today CNN released a pre-Inauguration story which mentions Commander in Chief; this follows a stream of digital and print coverage by major news outlets including The New York Times.
Players become President Obama, or another world leader of choice, and face the same problems and challenges as in the real world -- the economy, controlling the military, national security and terrorism, natural disasters, alternative energy sources, and many others -- all with the persistent threat of a terrorist attack on a major U.S. city.
A new trailer can be seen at www.commander-in-chief.net. The game can be played alone, or, with an Internet connection up to16 friends.
Commander in Chief is played on a detailed 3D world map on a screen similar to cable news programs -- multiple windows, scrolling tickers, and on-screen video inserts. To make the geo-political simulation as close to "real world" as possible, each of the 192 countries in Commander in Chief has current data on 400 key factors provided by 50 international organizations including the United Nations, G7, NATO, NAFTA, OPEC, and many other respected sources.
Think you can do better than President Obama on issues such as unemployment, the environment, social security, or foreign relations? Heres your chance! Commander in Chief will be available at retail stores nationwide and online at Amazon.com starting on Inauguration Day, January 20, 2009.
Commander in Chief was developed by Eversim, published by IGS (Interactive Gaming Software based in Maryland ), and distributed in North America by Atari Distribution.
