Turning Point - Video Game

By Oliver Coates
Christchurch
New Zealand

Debt is spiraling out of control.

The Cold war is at its height.

Interventionist fiscal policies have only brought the economy to a standstill.

Alone in the Beehive, Prime Minister Muldoon has grown increasingly isolated and strong-handed...

The year is 1978, and New Zealand stands on the brink.

As the player, you take control of the government and forge the nations path...

- Manage the economy under the ‘Think Big’ economic program
- Pass acts in the Beehive
- Maintain support from your party
- Make important decisions which will change history forever.

Turning Point is an educational strategy game in which the player takes control of the New Zealand government during the late 70′s and 80′s. Personally experience the events which shaped the nation into what it is today, or change the course of the country forever.
