Nuclear War, Amiga - Part 1 - Overlooked Oldies

Nuclear War is a fairly basic strategy game based on a runaway nuclear arms race. It treats the subject with humour since the alternative is gloomy seriousness, so you know which I prefer. Even if you win, everyone still loses.

I struggle a bit figuring out how to play at first, so I hope that's not too frustrating to watch. Should have looked at the instructions. Sorry :)

This is a request by hiffin and The Ungulable on my 128 subscriber special.

"Overlooked Oldies" is a series of let's play videos of retro games that I somehow never played back in the day. Many of them will be suggestions made by subscribers, particularly on binary milestone request videos.

Intro music is from the classic "cracktro" by SCoopex. The full version can be heard and seen here:

I remember playing the hell out of this game when I was a teenager, but I had totally forgotten about it.

Cheers for reminding me, Jim; You rock!

(Also thanks to those that requested it)

I'm going to be toasting some civilians tonight! :D

@Quimbyrbg thanks, glad you liked it, and I'm glad to have reignited those flames of nostalgia (or a better metaphor). Happy toasting :D

I kept yelling: " YOU ARE NOT A PERSON YOU ARE ONE COUNTRY IN THE MIDDLE" But good gameplay though XD

@Fireburnin21 thanks :)

Sorry about the noobosity. I know how frustrating a "let's play" can be when the player is doing something very obviously wrong. I've done some shouting at the screen myself :)

[JimPlaysGames]

@slenkar yeah it's a pretty decent strategy game if you're looking for something quick and simple.

[JimPlaysGames]
