DEFCON is a stunning, online, multiplayer strategy simulation based
around the theme of global thermonuclear war. The game, inspired by
the 1983 cult-classic WarGames, superbly evokes the tension, paranoia
and suspicion surrounding the Cold War era.
The player assumes the role of a General hidden deep within an
underground bunker, the mission being to successfully exterminate the
enemy's civilian population while at the same time disabling the
enemy's ability to retaliate. Desperate attempts must be made to form
fast, tactical alliances - alliances that may at any moment break-down
to become treacherous and very deadly betrayals.
Compete against the computer or even better, compete against fellow
Mac or Windows players online for total world domination.
Start by launching battleships, subs and bombers in order to decimate
your opponents defenses. Scramble together your alliances, but
remember only one can stand victorious.
Do you have what it takes to outsmart your opponent? Can you handle
the pressure of global thermonuclear war? Remember - nobody wins. But
maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.
