I have tried several different strategies,
eg. hide from it all and wait
stockpiling

Has anyone else played this funny game before?I love the way that you can get
rid of a couple of cities with so many different tactics.The variety of result
s is hysterical and you play against some really wierd people.Your job is to nu
ke four other guys into oblivion and survive yourself.Let's admit that the subj
ect is disturbing to some,but then again,it's just a game!Lighten up!I wouldn't
drop the bomb on anyone (I really mean this.) . Let's have some feedback,huh?
Later.

Yep, great game. > Let's have some feedback,huh? > When I was in the dorms last year, a friend of mine had it, and we spent many hours during Finals week blowing off steam(and a few cities). Admittedly, there isn't a whole lot to the game, but it's just plain fun. Unfortunately, there is a complete lack of games like this for the Amiga. Games, that don't have a whole lot of strategy involved, and don't take hours to master. Nuclear War takes five minutes to master the controls, and I was never really able to verify that a winning strategy existed, seemed to be completely random. I plan to buy this some time before Finals week this Spring. > Later. > Klazar Later, Steve Sheldon TAAK9@CCVAX.IASTATE.EDU Senior, Computer Science Iowa State University

I really think the did a good job of poking fun at Nuke War. The game has the flavor of the Nuklear War card game.... - Mike

Those darn game makers. Why do they make games that you can play without reading the manual? :-) Seriously, was that feature in the 1.0 version? I thought that I did read the manual and don't remember that feature. I have since sold the game. -- Ken Steele Dept. of Psychology kms@ecsvax.bitnet Mars Hill College kms@ecsvax.uncecs.edu Mars Hill, NC 28754 {some big name site}!mcnc!ecsvax!kms
