I just watched War Games in class, so I knew there would be a game like it.



Introversion Software presents DEFCON, a stunning multiplayer simulation of global thermonuclear war.

Take on the role of a General hidden deep within an Underground bunker.
Compete against the computer or online against your friends for total world domination.

Start by launching battleships, subs and bombers in order to decimate your opponents defences. Scramble together your alliances but remember only one can stand victorious.

Prepare your pre-emptive strike before one of your supposed allies gets the same idea. Choose the perfect moment to obliterate your opponents with an apocalyptic thermonuclear barrage, but get it wrong, and their devastating counter attack will bring you to your knees!

Its Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.

It's a really fun game where you "simulate" a nuclear war, starting at DEFCON 5.

This game is a great buy. It's only 10 bucks in the steamstore, but you can download the demo as well. It has great graphics for this type of game, good sound, and overall fun gameplay. It is a little slow, but they have built in fast-forwarders so you dont have to wait. You can also play with up to 6 people, be it online or in a LAN Party.

Great fun!
