WarGames

Based on the movie WarGames.

Description:

You are commander at NORAD defending the United States against an emeny attack.

You have only minutes to make life or death decisions as you defend against enemy bombers, subs and missiles.

Every second counts.

Race against the clock and the enemy to save the world from Doomsday.

Your orders: Defend prime targets (cities and military bases) in th United States, with help of the NORAD defense computer.

If your defense is succesful, you stop the NORAD computer from launching an ICBM counterstrike, that will surely result in the destruction of all mankind.

WarGames...Is it a game, or is it real ?.
 

WarGames debrief.

Wargames is a simulation of a nuclear strike.
Some terms used here are different from those actually used by NORAD.
The weapons and strategy were designed to enhance the simulation and make it challenging and exciting to play.
