[quote]DEFCON (stylized as DEFCOИ) is a real-time strategy game created by independent British game developer Introversion Software, developers of Darwinia, Multiwinia, and Uplink. The gameplay is reminiscent of the "big boards" that visually represented thermonuclear war in films such as Dr. Strangelove, Fail-Safe, and especially WarGames.
The game has been available by download since September, 2006 through Introversion's webstore and Steam. In the UK it was released for the high street shops on June 15, 2007 and for a limited period included the developer's first game Uplink. On April 5, 2007, US publisher Encore announced they would be publishing the game in the United States, and had ordered an initial 50,000 copies of the game for retail.[/quote]
[Quote][b]GAMEPLAY[/b]
DEFCON is a streamlined real-time strategy game, with no unit production (except for automatic fighter regeneration), resource collection, or technology tree upgrades. Players choose and position their forces at the beginning of the game. A countdown system prevents games from disintegrating prematurely. Gameplay begins at alert level DEFCON 5 and counts down to DEFCON 1 (the highest alert level). Each upgrade in alert level brings more possibilities.
[B]DEFCON 5:[/b] No hostile action. Players may place units and fleets and units can move into international waters.
[B]DEFCON 4:[/b] No hostile action. Radar coverage will provide information on units within range. Players may continue to place units and fleets and move units into international waters.
[B]DEFCON 3:[/b] Conventional naval and airborne combat is authorized. Units and fleets can no longer be placed (those that were not placed are treated as if they were lost).
[B]DEFCON 2:[/b] No effective change from DEFCON 3. This is the final stage before nuclear weapons are available. According to the manual, combat becomes more aggressive.
[B]DEFCON 1:[/b] The use of nuclear weapons is authorized. Intercontinental ballistic missiles, submarine medium-range ballistic missiles, and bomber short-range ballistic missiles are available.
You gain 2 points for every human being killed, and loose 1 point for every one of your civilians lost.[/quote]
[quote][B]GAME MODES![/b]
[b]Default:[/b] Make teams and fight each other, or free for all, survival of the fittest!
[b]Diplomacy Mode:[/b] All players start as members of a single alliance, and attempt to stay on top as the alliance disintegrates. Score is determined not by enemy population killed, but by which territory has the highest percentage of survivors at the end of the game.
[b]Office Mode:[/b] In office mode, the game runs in real time and cannot be sped up. The game can be quickly forced to the background making the computer available for other use. While the game continues to run in the background, a system tray icon will notify the gamer of certain events as they occur. The office mode hotkey, sometimes referred to as the boss key, is activated by striking the escape key twice in rapid succession. A game in office mode lasts no more than six hours. The boss key is available in all game modes, but it is designed for this mode in particular.
[b]Speed Mode:[/b] Gotta go fast!
[b]Big World Mode:[/b] The World is twice as big! Each player has twice as many units, but each unit is half the normal size and has half the radar range, weapon range, and speed. For those who love a long game.[/quote]
[b]"A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?"[/b]
Around Christmas, there's a special event in DEFCON with a special achievement.

This game has super eerie and somewhat depressing soundtrack.
So it fits nicely!

The occasional coughing and throat-clearing really gives you the feeling of sitting in a War Room in a mountain bunker while the world goes to hell outside. The incredible calmness and... sort of.. nothing-happening-ness of the atmosphere makes a powerful, disjointed contrast to... well, this going on. :v:

There is also some other creepy noises, like a woman sobbing, and the Lord's Prayer broadcasted on the PA.
I recorded an eighty minute long game of DEFCON with some friends, might edit and upload it when I feel like cutting 80 minutes down to about five.
Just added two game modes I forgot about in the OP.
Speed Mode and Big World Mode.
We all should play a game guys.

I'm sorry about the game randomly stopping if it did, after I tried to nuke Xienus my game decided to crash.
Edit:
Is there a way to host a dedicated server?
