DEFCON comes to the Mac

Ambrosia Software has announced that it will bring DEFCON Introversion game to the Mac. The title, which was released late last year on the PC platform, enables players to assume control of a continent and fight a nuclear war with one to five opponents. DEFCON is technically impossible to "win" in the standard sense, instead challenging players to come out with fewer "megadeaths." The game also boasts a unique visual style, loosely based on the computer displays from the 1983 movie "WarGames." Enemies are either human- or computer-controlled, and different game modes are available to accommodate various types of gamers. One such mode is a slower-paced office match, while another ensures that all the players start in an alliance. The Mac port will ship in March for $25.
