IN SOVIET RUSSIA, PREMIER IS YOU!

If you are a political gamer and you haven’t heard of Crisis in the Kremlin then press the “Download” button NOW.
Its 1980 and you have been chosen to lead the Soviet Union, in effect being the successor to Brezhnev. In Crisis, you make important decisions on policy and in economics. You can steer Soviet Russia towards a democracy or lead it into despotism.
You juggle all your ambitions while trying to strike a balance between 3 dominant parties within the game: The Hardliners (which are allied with the Military), The Reformers (Glasnost, Perestroika), and The Nationalists (Yeltsin’s Views). Your decisions affect each group differently and attempting to ignore a political party may lead to military coups, assassinations, or being thrown out of office.
Can you maintain the Union? Or do you favor a Commonwealth? What are Russia’s priorities on the world stage? How will you handle the food riots? And will babies still be named after you?
An advanced (for 1991) array of options and opportunities, detailed in-game record keeping, and varying levels of interactivity make Crisis a great adventure - You’ll find yourself stealing yourself away to it – playing out a fantasy where, after assassinating Yeltsin (your chief rival, or friend) you turn the big bread famine into a surplus!
TIP: Play with DISPATCHES ON, NAMES OFF (unless you need them, haha)
TIP: Its best to use “DETAILED BUDGET”, and to be VERY wary of the security forces.
PROTIP: Pressing “A” will advance faster through months – more than clicking ADVANCE.
So quit Stalin and play the hell out of this game, Comrade!

All the pictures are in the .rar that contains my .docx of the review and the game itself.

We already have a review and screenshots from our secret agent Fubb. Plus yours is too small and doesn't quite meet our quality standards. Remember: if you want to review a game you should first ask if there's already someone doing it and after that announce your desire to review it in the Review Offers thread, the Offers forum.
