Yes, Prime Minister is a interactive fiction simulator game that was released in 1987 and lets you play through a week in the life of the British Prime Minister. But not just any Prime Minister - this game puts you in the shoes of Prime Minister James (Jim) Hacker from the classic BBC television comedy Yes, Prime Minister.
Much like most political simulations, you must balance your popularity with the needs of your party, the meddling of foreign governments, and the small-minded incompetence of the civil servants that surround you. All of this is played out with multiple choice dialogues between Hacker and the other cast members of the series (complete with lo-res digital pictures). The dry humor of the show abounds as you must deal with crises, such as the French refusing to continue work on the channel tunnel until Waterloo station is renamed. Fans of the show will recognize much of the material, and non-fans should still find enough laughs to keep them interested.
