Neat little game. I tried it for a short time, and enjoyed it.

Remember the Movie and the Quote well ... might have a look at this one as I always did want to help save / destroy the known world

This is a great little game. Played it for a while last night. Its really multi-player oriented, which I hadn't realised, but I quite enjoyed it.

Need to play with some toggers though. Getting ganged up on because you don't leet-speak like the rest of the little buggers you end up playing with ><

Yeah, at its heart it's a multiplayer 'stab-your-friends-in-the-back' type of game. Still a lot of quick fun with a side helping of depth to make it a bit more interesting....

Great article. Tried the game in demo. I love the 'period' graphics. Excellent. With 3+ players, it could get very frantic and tactical.

I bought it via Steam... was only $9.95 US pre-paid.

Have been enjoying it. Weird at first though as the chilling soundtrack combined with the "nuclear" detonations that you find yourself "really wanting to occur", had me feeling spooked.

But enjoying it very much now. Had my first online multiplayer game last night with 3 other strangers.... interesting fun, with tension you could really slice.

Nice touch on the main menu with itmes scrolling on the left hand side, from nuclear weapon details to the listing of "software" running including "Falken's Maze" (which you'd all remember from WarGames).
