Shall we play a game?
Earlier today, Ambrosia Software released an update to DEFCON, the online, global thermonuclear war simulator (we first posted about DEFCON in April). It's quite fun - think of a high-tech game of "Risk." You must defend your territory and conquer even more. Changes to version 1.4.3 include:- Improvements when creating games on a LAN
- Other game play bugs squashed

Did you played the game yourself? This is quite unlike risk, more like world war III/nuclear holocaust, for one there's no territory to conquer or lose.

DEFCON rocks. The Ambrosia port even plays nice with its Windows cousin over LAN - great for nuking my Thinkpad-owning friends into submission.

I doubt if I'll ever play this, but nice shout out to "War Games"

Oh and don't forget the productivity-destroying office game mode, which forces the game to run in "real time" with no chance of speeding up.
There's nothing like the feeling of launching a full scale nuclear attack your co-workers cities when he's in a long meeting =)
