Computer War

Overview

It's thermonuclear war! Break the computer code to launch your missiles, then guide your interceptors before enemy missiles converge with your cities. This is a game in two parts. The first part plays a lot like a sliding block puzzle. You are given a figure in a 3 x 3 grid to match. Using the joystick and fire button, you rotate pieces in a larger grid to try to match the smaller figure. If you do that, you can select a missile launch site. Eventually, the enemy will launch its own missiles. You position your cross-hair at the radar dot for the enemy missile, and can then launch an interceptor. This part of the game is more action-oriented as you "fly" your interceptor to take down the enemy nuke.
