DEFCON 1.4.2 released

Ambrosia Software has released DEFCON v1.4.2, originally developed by Introversion. Loosely based on the 1983 film "WarGames," players of the game assume control of one of six continents, as a war escalates through the five namesake alert levels. Once DEFCON 1 is reached, nuclear weapons are unleashed, and the winner is the player that inflicts the most casualties, or suffers the fewest. Users can play offline against the AI or online against both Mac and PC users. The v1.4.2 update fixes sound-related crashes, as well as performance problems associated with naval fleets. The game runs on Mac OS X 10.3.9 or later, and costs $25 for the full version; a trial download limits players to a single game mode, played against a single human or AI opponent.
