Well, the whole game is based on the Middle East situation. You're the leader of Israel and your main goal is to make your country a stable country in the Middle East. Make friends and enemies, attack neighbours, buy tanks and airplanes and much more. Do not make too much enemies, cuz they might kill your country too.
The game is ok, the graphics are very basic and the sounds are minimal. |

| The gameplay is ok, but it's not a real addicting game. The main idea of the game is very good though. |

Conflict: Middle East Political Simulator takes you into the realm of the oldest battle in history. This simulation game combines strategy and warfare to give you an in-depth look at what it is like to run a country—Israel to be exact.
Your role is the new Prime Minister of Israel –you are new because your predecessor has been assassinated. While looking over your shoulder, your main objective is to defeat Israel’s four neighboring countries: Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria. You are to achieve this goal by using diplomacy and your military.
This is a turn-based simulation game in which each game turn equals one month in real time. The player decides what diplomatic and military actions to take with the other countries.
Diplomatically, Israel either wants to improve the relationship with a country, keep it the same, or make it worse. The action resulting from the decision depends on how the other country wants to deal with Israel. If the relationship with a country is indifferent and Israel wants to it to worsen, then Israel can declare war on that country. On the other hand, if the relationship is profitable, then the player can request a military pact be made between Israel and another country, making it an ally. This means if Israel declares war on a country that borders the allied country, that country will aid Israel.
There is a stability rating that each country has. If that rating hits bottom, the government collapses and the country is out of the game. During each of the player’s turns, Israel can opt to work on reducing each of the other countries’ stability. There is also an insurgency rating, which shows how well organized the insurgent forces are for each country. If a country's stability rating is Weak or below, or if the insurgency rating is at Guerilla Force or better, then Israel has the options of either attempting to assassinate the country’s leader or to start a coup. If either is accomplished, then the country collapses and is removed from the game. The player has so many other things to do in this game. You have to decide on a defense budget, determine what weapons to buy, see if you should start a nuclear weapons program, decide where to place your forces, and deal with the ongoing Palestinian problem.
A plus with this game is that you don’t have to have a lot of knowledge about the countries in the Middle East in order to play it. Also, the game can vary greatly each time you play it, especially if you keep making different choices—so this game can give you HOURS of fun. |
