What a disturbing game! Oh you had bomb shelters only 8 million killed! Ya that is a relief! I bet people in Japan appreciate the subtle attempt at humor the makers of this game give us when dealing with the subject of mass death and misery.
Remember this game!Funny,but however,it is unfair i a number of ways,like you cant decide what to build(they just produce random weapons)anf it also sucks ass that in some game a UFO comes along and lands in a random country,giving that player a massive population growth.Winning then is inpossible.
Ah Nuclear war.... while the adults (30-70 years old) during the 80's was scared of the Cold War.... we kids growing up on that period just find all type of fun related to Cold War... from movies to table top games... fun indeed. Nowadays post 9/11 Iraq and Afghanistan with too much political correctness its not possible to make similar type of games anymore
By the way, many of these leaders who are still alive in the game nowadays are either a joke or caricature of a dictator.
I think I remember seeing a flash version of this on the internet. I'm not sure where I found it, but I do recall it being called NeclearWar, so... Just so you know.
@juggep80 No that's incorrect, you had to produce weapons two or more times in a row to have everyone turned against you (in fact once you clicked on Nuclear War after having chosen to build for the 2nd time, a warning message was displayed telling you that you were stockpiling). You could prop even all over the game, no penalty occured. That is, some of your city could take off towards the L5 space colony or get destroyed by the Big One, but that could happen any moment when prop... :D
I played that a lot with a buddy back in the day. We were always wondering what the use of the smilies were when you could chose the enemies in the char-overwiew? (01:29) You could make the smilies smile (well, what a news eh?) or make them look angry...
I've just been playing a remake for this programmed in Java (Nuclear War 3: Ground Zero), you can presently find it only at Home of the Underdogs.

One of my favourite Amiga games. The PC version doesn't have the animated intro and, the one I used, the graphics were slightly overrevved. The only addition I'd say is that, in this demo, he must have clicked as the high score screen loaded at the end. There's normally the 'winner' jumping gleefully in an apocalyptic landscape, and saying "I won. I won."
Hate to break it to you, but the movie Dr. Strangelove pre-dates this game by some 30 years. The movie came out in 1964, long before personal computers.

I've just been playing a remake for this programmed in Java (Nuclear War 3: Ground Zero), you can presently find it only at Home of the Underdogs. You can customize your opponents and finetune various gameplay settings through .ini files. The only problem: for some reason, I couldn't get the sounds working, even though they're there.
