Trivia
Inspiration
DEFCON is probably inspired by
Wargames more than anything else (the movie and it's
videogame adaptation). The game's look as well as text on the main menu are direct references to this.
Sound
DEFCON applies a bunch of casual sounds to heighten the psychological effect of dealing with a thermonuclear war. Among these, the background music stays very much in the background. However as the game approaches the Defcon 1 stage, the background music increases in both tempo and strength. During actual nuclear war, piano key strikes can be heard as nuclear warheads impact with cities.
