War Games...Is it a game, or is it real?

You are the commander at NORAD defending the United States against an enemy 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 the United States with the help of the NORAD defense computer.

If your defense is successful, you stop the NORAD computer from launching an ICBM counterstrike that will surely result

in the destruction of all mankind.

A good game for a movie license tie-in. Managed to avoid the counterstrike but lost some brave people - score is 83,050,000.

My new high score 1,250,000
it really helps to read the manual, before i was just pressing buttons.
if i can avoid the counterstrike i could have a decent score.

I can't believe that I've had this game for years and have never played it. A big thank you for the link to the manual. That made all the difference in the world. Great game but nerve wracking.
