[[War]]fare is highly discouraged, as the game takes place in a pre-[[9/11]] world. This is complicated even further that day one in the game is considered to be January 1, [[1993]]. During that era, [[Iraq]] (under [[Saddam Hussein]]) was still considered to be a minor threat to the world, [[communism]] was considered to be dormant, and the [[United States of America]] was not in a war against [[terrorism]] at that time. |

CyberJudas is a PC game where the player is the President of the United States of America as well as the prey. In cyberspace land, there is a Cyber Judas that is out to destroy the presidency of the player and only he and his advisors can stop him/her. There is also a mode where you play a plain vanilla presidential simulator and a mode where the player struggles with his own cabinet for political power. The game has been confused by the popular masses for Judas Priest because the game was not widely released. In CyberJudas, the advisors actually talk and come from diverse backgrounds. On newer computers, it tends to crash if the player uses his advisors too much so the key to avoiding a program crash is to play the game without using advisors. This game is suitable for anyone who has attended a high school civics or American history course. However, copies of this game are rare but can be found in the bargain bins of larger department stores.
Recreating a Pearl Harbor or 9/11 Situation In-Game
It is hard, but not impossible to get the game to send another Pearl Harbor on the player where the United States of America is attacked in an unprovoked manner by either military, nuclear, or terrorist tactics. There are varying degrees of difficulty in attempt to lure the opponent into those methods of thinking. A nuclear attack would devastate the American economy and cause radiation to leak across the world, resulting global decreases in population as well as global economic growth. Terrorist attacks could result in temporary loss of economic strength as well as presidential popularity. Military attacks would be next to impossible unless Russia, Canada, Greenland, Mexico, or Cuba decides to invade the United States.
Diplomacy and Bettering the World
While playing this game, diplomacy is king during the player's 8-year presidency. Players can either improve the global standard of life, the global economy, make everyone a free society, or even conquer the planet (considering the player can appease his masses enough in order to avoid impeachment).
