It was my favourite game! Still, whoever asks, as a fierce gamer of the past, I call this game as my favourite game. Release of NuclearWar is 1989. Mega lo Mania is released at 1991. I think, this game is the main inspiration of Mega lo Mania, which is the predecessor of Civilizations -not only turn based ones, also real time strategies like Settlers or red alert or lately Age of series etc.- Hence , this game is the first specimen, the main ancestor of a huuuge genre. And definitely deserves to be called as a favourite game. Thanks much for sharing.
Agree with you talking about amiga scene but Dont you think m.u.l.e could be first per tour strategy based game or maybe some other obscure 8bits title of this genre ?
@@portnawak Honestly, I wasn't aware of M.U.L.E; have checked some videos and yes you're quite right. BIG RESPECT! Release date of MULE is 1983. What a crazy game considering the possibilities and resources of those days. Even generating a random number was a nightmare those days, MULE has an AI managing computer driven players. Amazing game in terms of that era.
Watching the shit kicking off in Iran reminded me of this game. While watching the intro, I could still hear the floppy disc drive buzzing and clicking.
One of my favourite Amiga games. The PC version doesn't have the animated intro and, the one I used, the graphics were slightly overrevved. The only addition I'd say is that, in this demo, he must have clicked as the high score screen loaded at the end. There's normally the 'winner' jumping gleefully in an apocalyptic landscape, and saying "I won. I won."
The "Winner" that you described is only for one of the AI's that you are up against. If you win, you will get no fanfare, no avatar character of you saying "I won, I won, I won."
Give this as a multiplayer players vs players and you really got a party game winner. Should be relatively easy even to make one. Yes I know defcon, but this is more simple and thus would work more easygoing manner.
@juggep80 No that's incorrect, you had to produce weapons two or more times in a row to have everyone turned against you (in fact once you clicked on Nuclear War after having chosen to build for the 2nd time, a warning message was displayed telling you that you were stockpiling). You could prop even all over the game, no penalty occured. That is, some of your city could take off towards the L5 space colony or get destroyed by the Big One, but that could happen any moment when prop... :D
I think I remember seeing a flash version of this on the internet. I'm not sure where I found it, but I do recall it being called NeclearWar, so... Just so you know.
Go and search the Play Store for Drop The Bomb: Nuclear War. I would hope anyone watching this vid would like it :-) It's not a direct remake, just very similar and overall less reliance on RNG. No characters added (yet), not sure they would be allowed these days is the problem.
This game is pretty easy, if you never get attacked in any way. Normally, at reasonable difficulties, at least two opponents try to roflstomp you throughout the game.
Exist a game similar that improve the gameplay, is called "World Domination II", is a flash game, but is really good, is better than this and can run in any windows
I remember my record was 225 milions with 1 city because I played a propaganda war with Gandhj (he never uses nukes only propaganda) with alines immigrants twice and one city gone into orbit, absolutely fun
What a disturbing game! Oh you had bomb shelters only 8 million killed! Ya that is a relief! I bet people in Japan appreciate the subtle attempt at humor the makers of this game give us when dealing with the subject of mass death and misery.
Used to play this for hours. Nice memories ☺️
One of the best games of all time, hands down. Super addictive, very comfy and all your friends want to have a round every time they're over.
Damn, that game passed me by at my hardcore Amiga time.. THX for playing!
Same here. Never heard of it. Maybe it wasn't cracked and pirated? lol
The DEFCON of Amiga era :)
I used to thrash this game back when I was in high school, cheers for posting...

Great game--brought back tons of memories. God--has it really been almost 30 years since the Amiga came out???
megatons of memories loal
More like 40 years now..
Omg, this video was put onto youtube before google bought out youtube, over 18 years ago! Amazing to see aiga history as well..
I played this game alot back in the days :-)
+Erol Alici Me too, but on a Tandy HX1000.
Watching the shit kicking off in Iran reminded me of this game. While watching the intro, I could still hear the floppy disc drive buzzing and clicking.
8:00 lol when you build the 100mt crowd pleaser "ooooohhhhhh "
Really enjoyed this, back in the days!
The 'I win' ending was brilliant...
Also the cow cannon!
Ah the memories. I played this for hours
loved this game. having watched it again ive realised that the high score screen pic looks like Passchendaele battle aftermath
Love the Dr. Strangelove reference in the opening. This game makes nuclear holocaust bitingly funny... :D
I'd love a modern version with G.W. Ambush, Ben Lethaljahu, Wladimir Putler and Kim Jong-Boom
Xa Ven that would be awesome
exist a similar game, "world domination II" interested?
Yes! BloodyBama, Zelenboom and Porosucker
Ahhhh, my first political education.
LOL!!!
man after more than 15 years, I still remember the joy of cow throwing! haha
1:27 And strangely - Ghadaffi has been the one to outlast them all. This was a superb game.
They got Gaddafi too, someone used propaganda too effectively against him
This was so much fun, i didn't need to know English as a kid to play this
I loved this game …

What a game..
very fun, exist other even better
that nuclear explosion is really impressive animation
Oh MAN I miss this game!
Long live the Nuclear Postman bomber!
I need fire up some WinUAE for some Nuclear War lovins.

Yes I know defcon, but this is more simple and thus would work more easygoing manner.
This game is one I never owned on my Amiga 500, but it would have been one I played all the time.
This is exactly how it will play out.
One of my favorite amiga games. :)
this game will be a hit on the iPad or iPhone ! :)
Can play it on the RG350 now.

Awesome game, thanks for the clip.
I haven't seen this game in so long I am really hoping there's an availability to play it.
Your citizens made:
1 100MT Warhead
*ooooooohhhh*
:-D
I think I remember seeing a flash version of this on the internet. I'm not sure where I found it, but I do recall it being called NeclearWar, so... Just so you know.
The fact that you did not pick Not Ghandi in a game about nuking everything should be a warcrime in itself.
Holy shit this game's fucking hilarious!
Kookamamie... "I'm Batman." ..just wow. XD
Roses are red
Violets are blue
Last time something dropped that hard it ended World War 2

A old prediction of a bad future realising nucler rage
Wow 15 years ago you are getting old...
Excellent stuff! Really
I had a pirate version of this game and could never work out what the smiley faces did. Anyone know?
Noone ever chooses to have a game of chess anymore.
Hug me with nuclear arms!
Castro's the only one who's still alive.
I loved that game as I was a kid. You were bloody lucky, that the other one´s dosn´t look at you and destroyed them self. It was a easy game.
Probably recorded a bunch of matches before having this match handed to him
:o Why no more cubex55? I liked that... :/
You can change the smiley face in your opponent’s screen but I never understood what it was supposed to do. Anyone?
Difficulty level
We need a Remake of this Game ;) :D
with that radiation, all humans become monsters
How about a nice game of... chess?
Battle chess?
30 years ago: "New World Computing" Next year: "New World Order"
Oh man, I miss NWC. :(
God- hmm I wonder what humans think of life
Sees game
God- what have I done.....to create such a beautiful generation 🤩
@SwedishDirector "Why dont they make these kind of games anymore?"
Because they want to do it for real.
We have a problem about ..
- ok nuke.
This game is pretty easy, if you never get attacked in any way. Normally, at reasonable difficulties, at least two opponents try to roflstomp you throughout the game.
Pliz, someone! Make a free remake for steam!
I would pay and soonest you to do so (if I had the money)
Grab Defcon if you haven't yet.
JCRichman Yes, I know that exists, I just don't have any of my own money
Was only making a statement.
Exist a game similar that improve the gameplay, is called "World Domination II", is a flash game, but is really good, is better than this and can run in any windows
10 years ago.
What's with all the TWOK references!?
@cubex55 could you guys do Centurion - Defender of Rome
Victory screen you mention is only for AI Winners, that's also logic considering that you can't choose who are you as a leader.
Joshua:... Prof Falcon this is a strange Game, the only winning move is not to Play... Do you like to play a game of chess.?
Do you know the name of the game? I searched for "Nuclear war" ..Found nothing
@DorohnL Yeah! Moo missile ftw :D
Id like to play this on my phone
the original dethcon
Lucky one! The opponents did not attack you a long time in this match . ^^
Yeh the game never made any tactical sense.. he was bombing and using propaganda on old mate in the too left hand corner with no repercussions. 🤦♂️
they should remake this game like this
new graphics
more oponents
more strategic options (ex.spy)
more random events
exist already, u wanna?
They renamed it, it's called World Domination 2
@TheVoiceOfReason93 umm and how is called
Where can i download this beautiful piece of retro game for free? Anyone?
A funny game.
fire the moo missile lol
1 down - 3 to go...
😃👍👍👍
It was not legal in germany but i have it in 80´s/90´s and played ;) :P
"Alte Zeiten" *heul*
it seems that people obsessed with zombies for some reason
With Infidel gone, only Jimi Farmer remains...
You're forgetting Gorbachef.
Yes, even three years later.
@@nicknumber1512 My God! How could I forget about him! I'm in the corner being ashamed if anybody needs me 😧
I remember my record was 225 milions with 1 city because I played a propaganda war with Gandhj (he never uses nukes only propaganda) with alines immigrants twice and one city gone into orbit, absolutely fun
Awesome game and at the same time it's controversial.
Use Sunfactor Level 10000 its a nuclear war

Tricky Dick for president! :)
