No Sir - but 'Empire Earth'. A good game, but the graphics are
sub-standard to say the least. (probably I'm spoiled by 'Settlers'...).

I will check out 'Age of Empires'!

As to DEFCON: The game is brilliant and behind the simplicity of the
user interface 'lurks' a fairly complex gameplay with lots of decisions
to be made as the TNW escalates.

However - I'd like the map to have more details. I mean: Most launch sites
are known to the enemy without radar - and so are crucial targets like
NORAD and bases.

The only unknowns are the nuclear subs (who are now capable of
launching ICBMs) and MRBMs/SRBMs on 'trucks'.
