I just recently started playing this game, and I have to say that is it is a pretty awesome world at war simulation. As the name implies, Defcon, relies on using nuclear weapons to beat your opponents into oblivion... the game mechanics, especially the music, make this a chilling nuclear war scenario.
@XxWolfpack247xX This game was based off that movie, in the main menu in the message screen sometimes the quote "How about a nice game of chess?" pops up
Pure bullshit. Veteran of this game for going on 4/5 years. I can tell you that Europe gets shafted most often in game. The safest bet is to have a Russian/african or Asian pact.
@15bignigga Nuclear bomb is matter of defense as well as offense. It can prevent a global war, or be part of. Idiots are humans that use it the wrong way.
The nuclear bomb pretty much stops wars beyond border skirmishes. Its the ultimate defensive weapon, the absolute deterrent of war, they are never meant to be used, just to sit in their silos and scare everone into peace.
@Szgerle Yes... in theory, I suppose. The fact remains, however, that as we grow towards a world where the line between peaceful commingling of countries and acts of subterfuge and aggression become increasingly blurry to those in control of such fearsome weapons, their worth as deterrents could very quickly be overshadowed by an impending miasma of death and destruction on a scale incomprehensible to the human mind; such that has never been seen before.
I remember playing the demo of this game and using the U.S. vs China. The first thing I thought of was the FALLOUT 3 universe and pictured the war being over the resource wars.
@Pedrohksgreddyturbo yes, defQon, with a Q, that's because they needed a cool name with a q in it since it is organised by Q dance. But it has nothing to do with this game. the defcon scale (I guess you can call it that). Is used by the american defense forces to indicete how big of a threat there is for the country and linked to this is the readyness of the defense forces. The scale starts at 5 and goes up to 1. 1 being total and utter chaos and a lot of soldiers pissing their pants...
@wisentgenus I mean nobody wins...you either die by the nuclear explosions..radiation, or roving band of crazy mutants that rape and kill you for your food and clothes.

I would always try to create some alliances during defcon 5, then nuke the crap outta them at 1. (While they off course did the same to u - nobody wins.)
Good times.
Must say this game is a piece of art. A real tense experience.
Played it today, could have wept when my untouched millions were eradicated by a raging north America. Curiously, the display started to dim and get almost colder looking, as if our nuclear war had brought about a nuclear winter. Anyone else seen this?
Well, this is teaching game. At least nukes keeping peace. No one will launch... well... except EVIL TERRORISTS.... but their nukes targeted at others will fall somewhere in Siberia (no, no, no, not my country, not my country)... Africa (crap, people live there too)... Antarctica (no! penguins are cute)... ocean (crap, I like ocean)... well, fall to the TERRORISTS because of crappy missiles. I hope =)

2. Your not trying to "win" your trying to loose the least
3. Defcon was based off Wargames
4. The web page is everybody dies : com, they know its a genocidal game
5. The game is actually quite depressing, the background music is dark and have women crying
6. Its played by region, so it could be africa vs south america, or austrillia vs russia. All regions are given the same nukes and units.

DEFCON is like a high quality porno film. It looks very pretty, has a

minutes of non-stop action with lots of white splotches everywhere....one of
