The best political game ever?

by Gonzalo Frasca June 28, 2004

categories: Political Games

The good guys from Molleindustria sent me this link and wondered if this was the best political game ever. Well, the more I play, the more it raises up the charts! Vigilance 1.0 by Martin Le Chevallier, an artist working on games and interactive cinema (btw, he was born on May 68, that may explain his interests :) . This beauty even plays on Mac (OS 9)! Download it, play, think.
