Changes

The game is a text-only simulation programmed in BASIC. I was fascinated by the challenge of frying to penetrate a web of Soviet defenses to drop a thermonuclear weapon on a major population center. All moral considerations aside-this is a game, after all-things seem to happen so fast I didn't notice that it wasn't written in Extended BASIC. Incidentally, it runs perfectly well in Extended BASIC.

There are no preliminaries in this game. The first thing you see is a message indicating that war has begun and you are to fly your B-1 Bomber from Thule AFB to a target in the Soviet Union. You are told what your primary target is and then given a "fail-safe" code to arm your one megaton nuclear warhead.
