I bought the 1986 Price of Freedom long after it was published, from a craft store. It was basically a game to let you play the movie Red Dawn; the USSR has taken over the US. I remember the scenario the game gives for how the takeover happened was ridiculously convoluted and unlikely.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2326833531919898477.post-20052901758855249572010-05-14T08:32:04.082-07:002010-05-14T08:32:04.082-07:00Thanks for the comments -

I was esp. interested in Bushido, but never got a chance.<br />@TS: I would have expected nothing less!
