From a retro gaming standpoint, I really have enjoyed this title. Good game, and I recommend it to those who enjoy a good strategy game.

The most intreging game I have ever seen since the C64 days. This game leaves you spell bound for hours on end. Use the Tutorial Demo to help you get used to the commands and launches. I would rate this game DEFCON at 150% above all my expectations
An Amazing Thermo Nuclear War Strategy Game! March 4, 2008

If you like strategy games, this is the game for you.
A bit lacking at first in the area of graphics, but you can download free MODs that include a detailed topographical map of the Earth, a Nuclear Space battle between a few different planets, and an entire list of other mods.
This game is almost designed as Openware and there are a LOT of mods available both official and unofficial.
Once you load it you can give the cd to your friends to load as well because you don't need the cd to play.
It almost feels like an old stripped down Military Strategic Training simulation...so there is no problem with realism.
 Not what I expected February 8, 2008

This game is simply not what I expected. I was looking for more interaction and not only a strategy game.
