A force more powerful – the game
A force more powerful is all about a different way of doing things, a way of resolving conflicts without the use of violence. The game was developed to be an interactive educational tool to teach people about non-violence strategies that have proven successful in conflicts around the world.
The game was created by The International Center on Nonviolent Conflict (ICNC) and York Zimmerman Inc. A force more powerful is no longer sold and has been replaced with the game People Power, which is the game of civil resistance that is being sold today. The reason why the older game is no longer available is that it isn't compatible with newer versions of Windows. It seemed better to create the cross platform game People Power mentioned above.
A force more powerful, or AFMP as it is also known, was developed to allow the player to play 10 different scenarios designed to resemble historical events. The game put the player up against dictators, occupiers and colonizers, and the goal for the player was to win freedom and/ or secure human rights by none violent means. There were also campaigns designed to teach the player how to win political rights for women and minorities through none violent means.
It is still possible to get a hold of AFMP from the developer even if it is not actively sold and no new games are being produced. If you are interested in getting a hold of a copy we recommend that you contact them directly. Below you can find the system requirements for the game to see if it would work on your computer.
