Chilling, Cold, Bloodcurdling Simplicity
You start to feel queasy as the white blips engulf your cities, radars, and most importantly, silos. The strategy in this game is amazing; its simple, to the point, and easy to operate. Sure theres some micromanagement, but it wouldn't be global thermonuclear war if there wasn't. The graphics are cold and retro like they are in Wargames. A plane looks like a plane, a boat looks like a boat, and a nuke looks like a nuke. The only thing that could have been better would have been a way to manually change the defcons at certain pre-determined points in the game, or at least to have the defcons change at random intervals within a set. But all in all, it was a great game.
