America - Vengeance, fed up with BS dictators and morons with their lunatic ravings, decides to just nuke them

Sadly, during the initial missile launch, one of the ICBM's gets hit side on by a flying moose which sends the missile tailing off into the city of Washington

Huzzah for US blind jingoism, eh?

I believe watching that made me ill

I don't think it was meant to be taken too seriously...and anyone with enough common sense would realize the consequences of using so many nukes--especially that close to one's own borders, allies, or troops.

Fucking awesome man. Oh yeah, Hi nathan!

I need to buy that game now, I want to create a few new states.

Ah, yes: Superpower II: Haven't played that in a while (on a friend's machine), but it was still fun. I think I'll up a copy of my own if I can find one. BTW, is there any patch or mod for the game that makes the economic model a bit more realistic?

This is glorious. I must obtain a copy of Superpower 2 now. I love the description of it - "like Google Earth but with nukes".

In other news, I'm looking for an excellent superlative adjective to use besides "glorious", but "excellent" is overused to the point of decreased efficacy and "splendid" doesn't quite cut it.

Traditionally, uber-, ultra-, super, and any combination thereof may be used to express superlativity.

The game does not have the elegant simplicity of Defcon, thought it does looks interesting. It seems to have ground combat and presumably naval combat.

I don't know if it was busy orbital space or ABM, but I saw some of the ICBMs detonate en route.

It would be interesting if the game could simulate a TBO type scenario, where strategic rockets are useless and one delivers nukes with Mach 3+ bombers.

I do have one particular beef with the game though. Both the flashes from the nuclear incitations and the craters left afterward are way too big. You'd think they were throwing GT warheads around.

Defcon is better.

ABM

The game does have modding capability, so it might be possible

It's more than likely a deliberate exaggeration so that the player can tell that a targeted area has been hit.

The Civilization games are still the best, IMO. Especially with all the different scenarios people come up with.

I give you the Cold War Deluxe for Civ 3 complete

1950-1991
30 nations.
3 or 4 generations of military hardware for each side.
Winner take all

The Superpower 2 I remember was a buggy piece of shit. The AI nations used to change its form of government on a seemingly daily basis.

Reminds me of the time I played that country as Germany and nuked Djibouti and Jamaica to make sure my weapons worked properly. They were tiny compared to that display of pure megatonnage.

I also remember the horrific experience of having the game crash on an hourly basis.

I don't mean to hijack, but what's the music playing in that video?

Yeah, I noticed the total disregard of fallout when the nukes were used on Mexico and Canada. HABtastic, it was.
