WarGames (game)
WarGames is a video game for ColecoVision. The object is to avert a nuclear counterstrike by protecting cities and bases from incoming missiles, jets, and submarines. The United States is divided into six sectors, each with its own cities and bases. As cities and bases are destroyed, the Defense Condition (DEFCON) status for that sector decreases. The DEFCON level for each sector is factored into the total DEFCON status. When the total DEFCON status is at 1 for 60 seconds, a counterstrike is launched and the game is over. The game is won by preventing a counterstrike long enough for a cease-fire to be reached.
Another version of the game was released for Windows in 1998.
