Multiplayer mutual mass destruction time. Oh yeah, baby. Reading RevStu’s run down on The War Game earlier reminded me to post about this little fella lurking in our forums.
Take control of one of up to 4 folks trying to annihilate the other players using the nuclear arsenal at their disposal. Originally from New World Computing and slightly missing the boat of MADmania by a few years (released in 1989, see, although the original card game dates back to 1983.) it’s a slightly more palatable example of Cold War-isms than Raid Over Moscow by virtue of having tongue planted firmly in cheek.
You can grab Nuclear War from here. Incidentally, you can play the original card game online here, nukefans.
Phew, not one Electric Six reference. I did well. Although I am typing this out listening to Enola Gay.
