Editorial Review of DEFCON
Remember that scene in the 1983 movie WarGames where Joshua, the creepily insouciant military computer program, was instructed to play itself? The screen exploded with dazzling two-dimensional salvos as Joshua calculated hundreds of nuclear scenarios, from predictable "US/USSR first strikes" to outre stuff like "Thai subversion" and "Gabon takeover." The world dissolved a hundred times in blossoming blotches of light, and all you could think was: where can I play that?
Thanks to Britain-based indie developer Introversion, you can play apocalyptic war games on your home PC? DEFCON isn't an official movie tie-in, but it might as well be. It's a real-time strategy game from the folks responsible for the IGF 2006 award-winning Darwinia, which renders the world in the same dehumanized 1980s vector graphics you'll recognize from the film's ominous NORAD war room screens.
Command a range of conventional and nuclear weaponry, which you deploy in stages as the clock ticks down from DEFCON 5 to DEFCON 1, at which point the nuclear gloves come off. You can challenge the computer or go nose-cone-to-nose-cone with up to six players online, but as for winning, let's just say the player who loses least, loses best. And make no mistake...everybody loses.
