Game cover: WarGames

Description

WarGames is a series of mini-games based on the 1983 film of the same name but not carrying an official license. Like in the film, the player logs into a supercomputer and is presented with a list of options. A couple of these are similar to the film, such as the ability to play a game of Tic Tac Toe, or the ability to select the option "Global Thermonuclear War", although the latter is presented as a simulation and not as the computer actually starting a nuclear war.

In addition to the above, the following other mini-games are present, most of which have some kind of Star Trek theme:Ask Spock*: essentially a "Magic 8 Ball" to whom the player can ask yes/no questions

  • The Battle of the Mutara Nebula: a reenactment of the battle against Khan from the end of Star Trek II
  • Klingon Roulette: a Russian Roulette simulation
  • Kobayashi Maru Scenario: a reenactment of the famous no-win scenario from the film Star Trek II
  • Podracer: a gambling simulation where the player bets on Star Wars-style pod races
  • Retro Football Manager: a soccer management simulations
  • Time Bomb: a game where the player needs to defuse a bomb (on station Deep Space Nine) by guessing which wires to cut
