Crisis in the Kremlin is fun, though I usually only survive 2 years before being impeached. I think i got it from HotUD
Diplomacy- Its pre-WW1 era. You get to be either the French, British, Germans, Italians, Austrians, Ottomans, or Russians, make alliances with other nations, or destroy them, it's pretty fun. HOWEVER Diplomacy is actually a board game, I've only found online multyplayer version of it.
Balance of Power- I had the liberity of actually talking to the guy who made this game, and he's made a new version (BoP: 21st Century) If you search "Storytron" in google it should take you to the site you can download it from. In BoP you can be either the USA, or Soviets and try to gain as much prestige for your nation without causeing Nuclear War(!) Sadly, the game only have 8 turns, to represent the last 8 years of the Cold War
In my opinion, all games are good, if you like Political Sims (which you do if you like C:MEPS (Which is a really great game)

Now, does anyone know if theres a free remake of Shadow President out there? I noticed Cyber Judas is still sold (
