Product Information. Although it was essentially defeated some twenty years ago, WOPR (War Operations Planned Response) is back online.
The supercomputer designed to defend the United States from nuclear war has apparently developed a grudge against humanity! It now commands an arsenal of mechanical troops and has positioned itself in key sectors around the globe. Your mission is to defeat WOPR with all that NORAD (North American Aerospace Defense) has to offer!This means using helicopters, tanks, jeeps, patrol boats and more in your assault on WOPR's defenses. WarGames: Defcon 1 is a real-time 3D strategy game with an emphasis on action. You'll directly control up to eight units and switch vehicles at any time during the heat of battle. Your objectives are detailed at the beginning of each mission, typically involving the destruction of enemy structures before WOPR can send reinforcements.There are also various buildings available in order to help you sustain the war. Among the featured structures are cloning facilities to produce an unlimited amount of ground troops, guard towers, helicopter pads, command centers (can be hacked by sending a unit next to it, allowing you to retrieve supplies), SAM turrets, robot maintenance facilities (robot reparation), aircraft hangars and landing pads, where units are dropped off by transport helicopters.Destroying these buildings can reveal power-ups to increase weapon damage (each vehicle has two attacks), shields or repair armor.
WarGames: Defcon 1, like WarGames (video game), is a video based around the 1983 film, WarGames.It was a game for PlayStation and Microsoft Windows. Although both versions possess the same missions and content, the PlayStation version is a tactical vehicle-shooting game while the PC version is a real-time strategy game (similar to Jeff Wayne's The War of the Worlds).

There are six different 3D environments consisting of snowy alpine, desert, the Pacific Ocean, countryside, urban and lowlands.WarGames: Defcon 1 also features high-resolution graphics, real-time weather effects, split-screen cooperative and deathmatch modes for two players, and Dual Shock Analog Controller support.
Back in the 80's, before the days of computer illiterate 'hacking movies' that make me want to puke (i.e. The Net, Hackers), one of the greatest 'computer' movies, Wargames, was filmed. It featured realistic hacking such as wardialing and phreaking in their more primitive states, and wasn't really 'dumbed down' for the general audience like movies are today. When I first saw the game, I was disappointed. Hoping for gaming themes such as thermonuclear warfare, I ended up with a mediocre real-time strategy game (RTS), with mediocre gameplay. To top it off, it has very little in common with the movie.A cut-scene taking the form of a commercial from Protovision kicks off the game, which, unfortunately, gives no information pertaining to the story of the game.
Players soon find themselves thrown into the real-time strategy fray without a clue as to what is going on in the story. After reading the instruction manual (something that the majority of gamers, including myself, hate to do), I finally got a clue: like the 20-year-old movie, the player ends up playing a video game that starts a real-life war as the government's WOPR computer tries to wipe out humanity. In reality, the game is so loosely tied to the movie that it seems like the Wargames title was just slapped on during the last couple months of development.Actually playing Wargames is unmistakably similar to a majority of RTS's on the market. The game's single resource, money, is acquired by using the hacker.
In addition, the hacker can obtain upgrades to armor and weapons. Once sufficient money is obtained, the constructor (person) can build buildings and structures. These buildings can then order vehicles and tanks or train other human units. The selecting, moving and attacking of units is, again, similar to others on the market. Unfortunately, Wargames just doesn't offer the variety of units and upgrades as, say, Starcraft, and players will soon get bored ordering the same three units over and over again.While the game may not be quite up to par in terms of variety or gameplay, its engine is definitely more impressive.
Running mostly in 3D, the game supports all D3D-compatable cards. All vehicles and buildings are 3D objects and, while they may not be extremely detailed, they do have nice texture maps. On the other hand, all non-vehicle units (grenadiers, hackers, etc.) are obvious 2D sprites and ridiculously stand out against the 3D environment. The engine supports 3 modes of zoom and full 360-degree rotation. Not as nice as Myth: The Fallen Lords. But still impressive.While sound and music are often overlooked or taken for granted, it is definitely fair to give Wargames credit for the excellent musical tracks included on the CD.
All tracks do an good job setting up the military, warlike atmosphere.In the end, having very little to do with the movie, Wargames can best be described as mediocre. While the game does have a somewhat impressive engine, it seriously lacks both variety and originality.People who downloaded WarGames have also downloaded:,©2020 San Pedro Software Inc.
