Nukes - Defcon

porphy · 09-15-06, 12:08 PM

Hi

Anyone interested in the new game Defcon from the makers of Uplink and Darwinia? IGN seems to like it. Got to like the layout and grand style strategy theme. Still they don't say if you acctually can win this game... :hmm: If you missed the ICBM in DW or SC, now you can have the full galore...!

"Would you like to play a game of global thermonuclear war...?"

Needless to say, this will be one I'm getting

seems more like what I wanted to get out of Hearts of Iron II: Doomsday...

Ordered the game today. 9 days left and then the real countdown starts... Time to dig that shelter in your garden...

Good thing that part is covered in the manual.

Cheers Porphy

Coool! A remake of an older game with some updates! I like it. I played the old one to death. Getting 30 mil casualties from a single nuke was always satisfying! :p

Nuclear War should keep you entertained while you wait for your game:

Already preordered, no Ruskie can pass up a game of nuclear warfare!

porphy · 09-25-06, 11:31 AM

Alert! We are at defcon 5 .... Defcon 4 in 6 hours.

Cheers Porphy

RedMenace · 09-25-06, 01:22 PM

Hey, when the games out, porphy, ya wanna play a game of "first-hand nuclear proliferation"?

Camaero · 10-02-06, 03:51 AM

I downloaded the demo today and am lovin it! This game is pretty cool. I pounded the ruskies twice now and only lost the American west coast and the east coast.

I like it. I will probably end up buying it. It is a great demo though for anyone thinking about it. You have the full game to play around with minus a few game play options. (Only 2 players at a time online in the demo.)

Paajtor · 10-02-06, 09:59 AM

I'm downloading the demo...maybe gonna give it a go this evening.

Btw, the game has a "office-mode"....

It's the end of the world as we know it!

And I feel slightly irradiated...
