Summary

A wonderfully innovative, interesting and completely ignored game.

The Good

I don't understand why no-body knows this game, really don't. This is a piece of genius, original and innovative and should've got a lot more attention than it did.
The graphics are decent (if somewhat minimalistic) and work without being slow on a simple XT, the strategy and managerial portions of the game are nothing short of amazing.
It is without a doubt one of the most interesting games I have ever played, with varied and exciting - even if somewhat short lived - gameplay.

The Bad

The game's AI occasionally behaves erratically: sometimes a country with which you are in excellent relations will start behaving hostile towards you for no apparent reason, and if you do in fact nuke someone it has a completely unpredictable outcome.

The Bottom Line

An innovative strategy game, which is (since I live in Israel) close to my heart. It remains to be seen what other historic events this game will predict.
