Apple IIThis was a simple text grid based game using a 10 X 10 grid that represented maps of the two countries. Each country had 10 Cities (denoted by 'C' on the grid). The game starts in a random year near 1965.
Each player (1 human, 1 computer) receives two turns per year (spring and fall on some versions) during each turn the player may build a Missile base, bomber base, Sub base, or ABM base, or the player may choose to start a hot war.
With each year the chance that the computer will declare hot war increases.
The game was written in basic and could be altered by the user.
The Commodore Pet version of the game was also available on the commodore 64 prior to a C64 specific version being created.
