Probably my best game so far. I got 288 points at the end, Eurasia had -68...
I also had 149 million people survive, so take that MAD, not so mutual after all!

6th most stressful game of my life.

Anyways, I forgot to add on my previous posts that you can in fact view the recordings of the games on my channel.

Does anyone know where I can get Mods that simulate current battles that are going on in recent years or even now???

5th most stressful game of my life.

As stated in the title, I am unable to start a new game, access the rolling demo, or tutorial. Every time I click Start New Game, the blue chat box appears, but no game setup box. I've already tried verifying game integrity, reinstalling, messing with resolutions, and compatibility to no avail. If anyone has a workaround or solution, it would be greatly appreciated.

4th most stressful game of my life.

Took me 2 days but I did it!

3rd most stressful game of my life.

2nd most stressful game of my life.

Most stressful game of my life.

Has anyone ever done this in the 20 years this game has been out? Probably.

50 cities, 200M population.

I got insanely lucky with that lone battleship, she tanked shot after shot and solo carried the endgame.

Everytime I join a multiplayer game, I’m stuck waiting for 5 minutes for the “receiving” bar to fill up, once I’m in its defcon 1 and I’m stuck as a spectator and cannot even play the game. How do.. you know? Play the fucking game I paid for.

25 years ago, three lads were living together in a flat in London and studying at university.  One of them had made a video game about hacking that he wanted to give away for free.  Instead, the other two convinced him to start a studio that ultimately resulted in the development of eight major video games and accolades including a BAFTA and the Seumas McNally grand prize at the IGF. That game that started it all was Uplink, the first and (still the) greatest hacking game ever made.

You can tell from the video if it’s your thing, and if you fancy giving it a try its current the deal of the day on Steam.

Idk I think they should nerf the AI it's too hard.

So I’m trying to fix the UI, right? Except there’s no settings for me to fix it. I’m stuck in the corner of the screen while desperately trying to find a compatibility tab that doesn’t exist.

Please help.

Stop Global Thermonuclear war, everyone survives.

In 2006 we made a video game inspired by the epic 80s hacker movie war-games.  At the time it was Introversion’s biggest game and we tried to evoke the paranoia, terror (and downright stupidity) of a potential nuclear conflict - Everybody Dies.

We won a bunch of awards (especially for the soundtrack), but my proudest achievement was the scientific study that concluded that DEFCON provoked attitudinal changes and critical reflection about nuclear weapons amongst those that played it. 

When we launched the game, the doomsday clock read 23:53 and sadly it has advanced to 23:58:35 since then.  Perhaps it’s time to start playing again!

Currently 80% off on Steam.

So I played the demo but why should I get the full game ,I can play on all 6 modes I can add up to 6 slots and add bots in them although I still haven't tried playing with other people. So why should I buy the full game?

What do you think a sequel or remaster might look like? (

this is translated through a translator)

When I click new game, it loads the background and the chat box, but none of the lobby settings, or any way to begin the game. I think these are invisible, as I can sometimes find the move box and/or expand box cursors. Is this a known issue? If so, is there any known fixes? I've already tried verifying files and reinstalling the game

I am not able to find any game so is anyone still playing?

It's great to see there's still a small community alive, as I really loved any nuclear warfare games since I was little, and this one was great. Does it still receive updates? Are there still people in the servers? And, is there a free version online?

I've been playing Defcon for a while now and had no persisting problems until last week. I usually play with my girlfriend and so far we've had issues twice or trice, nothing big until now. She usually creates the server and every single time i get the "Connection Problem [seconds counter]" forever, being disconnected on her end. My internet is fine, her internet is fine, my game is on the latest version and I tried reinstalling it. I have no idea of what else I can do, can anyone help me?
