Power Mad screenshots

After a very brief animated introduction the game's start screen is displayed.

This is the first of three pages of in-game instruction

Each of the AI opponents has a brief biography

The start of a game Each player has the same number of cities and the same number of points

Adding a nuke or a peace initiative to a city costs five troop units so these actions can only be used later in the game

In the early stages the only actions that a player can undertake are propaganda and attacking with troops

The USA has launched a successful attack

Not all actions are successful. Here an attack has failed, sometimes a propaganda campaign fails and the player loses civilian units

As a player loses points their cities become less prosperous and their icons change

A peace unit has been added to a city. These units are a defence against a nuclear attack

Saddam Insane has lost two cities and those that remain look weak. Time to move in for the kill

Saddam Insane has been nuked out of existance

When a player is eliminated their icon changes

Here the presence of peace units has prevented a devastating nuclear attack

Game Over Beaten by the combined might of the USA and Iraq

There is a high score table but only winners get to put their name on it
