    I always play games' demo before buying them... Just so that money won't be wasted.

    You know what this reminds me of. It reminds me of WarGames with Matthew Broderick.

    Definitely get the demo first - It's a hit or a miss with most people. I didn't like it so much because you really can't have a clear cut win. You're always going to lose in some way (just like real nuclear war, heh).

    I like the game, so I bought it. I also Bought Uplink from introversion. They both have many allusions to Wargames, and defcon is even shown in the new wargames movies.

    Defcon is an absolutely fantastic game, but it's definitely not for everybody. Give it a shot, though.
