  • As a bit of trivia re: games being political, Atari’s Missile Command (1980) was explicitly a statement on the futility of nuclear war inspired by the devs’ own fears during the cold war.

    On the PC/Home computer end, you also had political sims like Balance of Power (1985-1990), which…well…

    As for SEGA and Japanese politics, they made a whole ass arcade game dunking on prime minister Kakuei Tanaka taking bribes in the Lockheed Bribery Scandal. It got a export release virtually unchanged, somehow.
