I remember playing this at an expo in Austin, TX when I went with my uncle. The premise wasn't entirely unbelievable for an impressionable youth. We'd all seen Wargames by this point in our lives. World powers, nuclear weapons, and renamed leaders that were recognizable to just about anybody. I got it later on and, while not perfect, still enjoyed it and appreciate it for the frenetic pacing and randomness that would end up with you losing. Frustrating? Yeah, but isn't that kind of the point of a very toned-down representation of what we perceived as a likely scenario... even then?
