The World's first Genocide 'em up
It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins.
But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least.
DEFCON is a real-time strategic game, focused on nuking the opponents innocent men, women and children into irradiated dust particles.
It is morbidly satisfying so I decided to make a topic about it, including copy/paste info from the website.
____________
You play the role of a military Commander hidden deep within an Underground bunker. Your mission - to successfully exterminate your enemy's civilian population whilst disabling their ability to attack your own. Start by launching your battleships, subs and bombers in order to decimate your opponent's defences. Scramble together your alliances but remember only one can stand victorious.
Prepare your pre-emptive strike before one of your supposed allies gets the same idea. Choose the perfect moment for betrayal, obliterating your opponents with an apocalyptic thermonuclear barrage, but get it wrong and their devastating counter attack will bring you to your knees!

I am really bad at explaining things so I suggest you go to their website and have a go at the game yourself. For a game this simple, there is lots of depth in terms of strategy and tactics.

"Global conflict erupts with a series of co-ordinated strikes"
"Soviet subs launch a sneak attack on mainland America"
"Europe gravely miscalculates the strength of their alliance"
"It's the end of the world as we know it."

Also someone should organize a server.
