Global Thermonuclear War

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.

 

This is my entry for RogueOlympics 2025 Round 6, with the topic "Attacke! / Attack!". The RogueOlympics are a build contest by the RogueBricks Community, with each week featuring a new topic and a part limit of just 101 pieces (which I used exactly).

 

I built an homage to the film WarGames. It shows David Lightman supposedly hacking into the server of a videogame company to play a round of "Global Thermonuclear War". But unbeknownst to him he is actually communicating with a government supercomputer that takes his game a little too serious and is unable to distinguish between the simulation and a real Soviet attack.
