A random error causes the Computer to secure your nation&#8217;s defense for full scale nuclear attack. You have 30 seconds before the first ICBM is launched at your enemy&#8217;s capital. Decipher the secret code for aborting missile launch or prepare to fight World War III.<\/p>\n<p>At launch, you discover the computer has deleted all targeting data for your weapons. Presented with NORAD  style strategic displays, you watch the<\/p>\n<p>trajectory of the missile track across the globe as you frantically retarget your weapon systems and prepare for your enemy&#8217;s attack. Do you strike before or after the enemy launches its first wave? Do you target for military, industrial, or civilian targets? Perhaps some combination? You watch enemy strikes against your homeland and the casualties grow to staggering proportions as you attempt to deter or conquer the enemy before you are completely destroyed. The war has begun and your nation&#8217;s destiny, even the destiny of the world, is in your hands.<\/p>\n<p>Ask for Global Thermonuclear War\u2122: $34.95 at your local dealer or order direct.
