Fun video, dude! And I love that HI-LO turbo display, haha. I want one. I also want a computer room in my closet, they're comfy.

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks so much Clint! Yes, computer closets are indeed comfy.

An agent from United Kingdom has assassinated you. Apparently, James Bond killed you. Hugh Jackman In: Shadow President. Coming in 2020.

[@GeriatricFan1963]

Might want to reconsider that...UK policy on Brexit is an absolute disaster. The current government is completely incompetent.

Well, it's 2020 now

[@daniel-andersson]

IS IT OUT YET? PLEASE I NEED SOMETHING TO DO WHILE IN QUARANTINE

[@jangelelcangry]

[@Bav-s30z]

8:41 That "thank u" speech and silence with the message "simulation terminated" gave me chills.

AAAHHHHH THIS EPISODE WAS AMAZING "I hope you had a good reason for nuking Mexico.""Of course I did!"-Vectrex4Life, 2015

Got to love that once the tutorial is over everyone goes straight for the nukes.

[@Joyless]

This was awesome man, literally died laughing...literally! Your room looks SUPER cosy how many computers and video games you got? literally heaven.

[@Vectrex4Life]

MasterJay Thank you so much! The setups are quite cozy. I believe I have 25 consoles, 1,200 games, 13 computers, and 4 arcade machines.

[@trumangraham2602]

Because of this video anytime I mark something on my calendar I instinctively write it as: "RAPTURE OF (The event)"

[@HeightofMediocrity]

I actually lol'ed at the paper shredder gag XD. Partly because it's something I would consider doing if I didn't wanna move.

[@longarmsshow]

You keep getting better and better, Jason! Absolutely loved the video! Can't wait 'til the next one! =)

Who could forget the TEAQ bar graph? It's the most important part of any shadow president's arsenal!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Ninbendo Reviews Yes of course! Shadow President is NOTHING without it! Haha.

[@kei_nishimaru]

It's been so long, you have gotten grown quite a bit, I am back once again, like since years ago.

[@Vectrex4Life]

+Mygingerguy Glad to have you back!

[@kei_nishimaru]

By the way, thanks for selling out for me, I had to buy the game and I kept blowing shit everywhere, and then I became Michael Bay, but instead of Hollywood explosions, you have nukes.

[@Kooltrex]

The quality of your videos just keep getting better you had me dying when you were nuking every country lol keep these up man one day you'll be one of those really big reviewers.

[@Vectrex4Life]

+Kooltrex Thank you so much! Glad you liked it!

Let’s do this COMMENCE THE NUKES FOR ALL OF YOU CAMPAIGN!!!!

[@silenceenigma587]

I see you've grown the peach fuzz dude.

[@IMCR8Z]

The ending to this video reminds me of the ending to Brutalmoose's Oregon Trail II, where it ended with his in-game character dying by an "accidental gunshot", and he didn't say another word for the rest of the video as a punchline.

[@Vectrex4Life]

I see the similarities, but a big difference is that he talked during the end slate, killing the illusion, where as I did not say anything after the gunshots. During my end slate, there was 1960s hard rock, Vietnam propaganda.

[@GigaGamby]

I need this game now...

[@Vectrex4Life]

Everyone does! Haha.

[@Criinkle]

awesome episode!

***** Haha thank you so much!

[@SQGReviewShow]

this was by far your best review. Love the ending. Who even assassinated you?

[@SQGReviewShow]

Oh, never mind. It's the UK

[@Vectrex4Life]

The Side Quest Gamer Thanks so much! Yep, it was the UK, which doesn't make too much sense since I didn't even nuke them! Lol.

[@pepsiforbread1416]

8:55 Was that 007?

[@thesmithersy]

Probably. The UK has to send their best to take out a crazed, nuclear mad American president!

[@atticusfalcon7144]

*Nukes a country... Everybody goes nuts*

[@stopnow8752]

I cant wait for a new video i love your series of forgotten game and i hope that you get all the support videos because you deserve every bit of love & support p.s NUKE THOSE COMMIES

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thank you so much! Really means a lot. The next episode is in the works and is going great!

[@BlackburnBigdragon]

Shadow President is my absolute favorite political game. To this day, no other political game has matched it.

[@wi11iam]

where do you get your consoles, monitors, and computers from?

[@Vectrex4Life]

+Will Stull Thank you! I get most of the retro stuff from thrift stores. But sometimes garage sales, swap meets, Craigslist, etc. A list of my collection is on my channel's 'About' page if you're curious.

[@wi11iam]

+Vectrex4Life Thanks!

[@dnkakusei]

[@ivancrosbie3576]

Awesome video. Keep it up!

[@Vectrex4Life]

Thanks man!

[@ivancrosbie3576]

+Vectrex4Life Favourite part was 4:15

[@Civicsminustheheadache]

For an old game, it's pretty fun to mess around with. I just wish that we could get a more modern version of this game. I must say though 1:52 predicted the game "The Political Process"

[@w1ntermode]

YAS! New V4L Vid! WOOHOO!!!

[@Spin_Music]

5,000 NUKES TO NORWAY DO IT!

[@Maximus6G]

Why haven't you uploaded in a while? School? Taxes?

[@Vectrex4Life]

+Mustang Fan School and time prohibit me from working on episodes as much as I would like to. Check my Twitter for video updates. Taxes might get in the way too though once I get old enough. Lol.

[@brenongames3108]

1990s version of Power and revolution :)

[@timlwetzel]

xD The United Kingdom assassinates you. Glorious. I love how edutainment-like this game is, well done on covering this.

[@Vectrex4Life]

+Timothy Wetzel (KingIsaacLinksr) Haha thanks.

[@temple_4213]

did you get the idea to review this game because of joel from Vinesauce ?

[@Vectrex4Life]

Nope, I never heard of the game until I found it at a yard sale. I found Joel's stream of Shadow President after the upload of this video.

[@hoangdanhthai5475]

Why did you nuke Egypt???

[@smokery3178]

damn i think you took some inspiration from jontron ? Not saying that is bad i really enjoy it

[@trevorcamden352]

I think the actual presidents might use this game before they make real life decisions

+Vectrex4Life Thank science for not changing your brilliant humour :p

[@rinnychor]

About that quote thing of who said the "party" thing, well...if you're not sure -- there's always Google. Just pointing that out, unless there's a really hidden boomer joke somewhere that I didn't catch from the whole skit.

[@Vectrex4Life]

That's an interesting comment. I used Google a lot when I made this video, just not for that quote. I didn't care enough about it considering it's not real copy protection lol.

[@rinnychor]

@@Vectrex4Life Oh well. Not that it even matters :D

[@thepicklecat]

How do you download.

[@wi11iam]

i love your videos.

[@Sqlslammer]

After much screwing around in this game, some screwed crap happened. The Soviet Union invaded Iran and Iceland, nuked me, but I didn't retaliate. Then the USSR became capitalistic, but Iran and Iceland stayed communists. Many of my allies left me for the soviets. Iran became EXTREMELY overpowered, because out of nowhere they got over 33 million troops. And then they started their own communist alliance. Yet Iran is occupied by the Soviet Union.

[@Hadokener]

Hello Vectrex4Life. Let me take this opportunity to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry that I copied one your videos involving Lego Racers 2 to a degree. I would like to personally apologise for any stress and anger this may have caused you or your subscribers. In hindsight I did not know what I was thinking at the time. I'm going to take the video down to prevent further controversy. I an not the type of person to add fuel to the fire so I would like to personally own up to may mistake. I hope you are willing to accept my apology and encourage you to keep reviewing as you do a fantastic job. Thank you for listening Regards Hadokener

+Make war not peace Please, review CyberJudas. If you played the original for a while, you may be suited to Shadow President, but after sinking a couple of hours into CyberJudas, it's much better. I'm actually trying to make a remake of CyberJudas, although it hasn't gone very well.
