GlobalThermonuclearWar.info - WOPR inspired scenario name generator • Hacker News Board

Introversion Software, who made the movie-style hacking game Uplink, also have a game called DEFCON which is an atmospheric, minimalist global nuclear war simulator. http://www.introversion.co.uk/defcon/ "The World's first Genocide 'em up! It's Global Thermonuclear War, and nobody wins. But maybe - just maybe - you can lose the least." I love those guys :)

Yes, sorry. I just disabled the auto play. I was hacking on it all night and had it in as a goof but forgot to turn it off. Thanks for commenting.

Reloading the whole page to get a new name seems a tad unnecessary.
