Play America Daitouryou Senkyo Online
You hustle across a pixelated U.S. map shaking hands and dodging scandals, picking debate options that somehow make sweating through an NES menu feel like real politics. Your tiny candidate sprite bows awkwardly after every speech—it’s ridiculous and weirdly gripping.

Ever wanted to run for president but with the aesthetic of an old-school NES RPG? America Daitouryou Senkyo—basically *The American Presidential Election*—lets you do exactly that. It’s this weird little Japan-only game where you navigate menus to schmooze donors, give speeches, and try not to tank your campaign with scandals. The debates are hilariously simple, just picking from a few vague options like "attack opponent" or "stay vague," but somehow it still feels tense.
What’s wild is how much personality they squeezed into it—your candidate bounces around the map like a tiny sprite, shaking hands and giving awkward little pixelated bows. The whole thing plays like someone mashed up a political sim with an early Dragon Quest, complete with random events that can either boost your numbers or completely wreck you. If you’re into obscure retro stuff, this one’s a trip—just don’t expect deep strategy. It’s more about the vibe than anything else.
Also, the soundtrack is weirdly catchy for something that’s mostly menu navigation.
