Game introduction
Introversion Software presents its third title, DEFCON, a stunning online multiplayer simulation of global thermonuclear war.
You play the role of a military Commander hidden deep within an Underground bunker. Your mission - to successfully exterminate your enemy's civilian population whilst disabling their ability to attack your own. Start by launching your battleships, subs and bombers in order to decimate your opponent's defences. Scramble together your alliances but remember only one can stand victorious.
Prepare your pre-emptive strike before one of your supposed allies gets the same idea. Choose the perfect moment for betrayal, obliterating your opponents with an apocalyptic thermonuclear barrage, but get it wrong and their devastating counter attack will bring you to your knees!
It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.

Review
Would you like a nice game of chess? Not when there's a full-scale global thermonuclear war to be had, thank you! As a totally refreshing change to the multi-million dollar, gigabyte productions from the behemoths of development, Introversion Software amply prove that PCs and budgets from NASA aren't needed to make great games. Say hello to DEFCON and top nuke-flinging fun.
