DEFCON 1 is a really good game with a cyberpunk-esque theme. It was released in 1992, and it was published by ROMulus Games on DOS. There are a lot of cool space missions to play. It is definitely worth trying out.
In a friendly tone: DEFCON 1 is the first game released by Romulus Software, and it’s a deep and complex simulation that’s easy to get lost in. You play as a hacker at an underground hacker network in a cyberpunk, dystopic future. The world has been taken over by supercomputers and electronic devices, and your job is to hack into these computers and send out messages so that the people of the world will rise up against them. It’s a rather bleak game with no real victory conditions—the game ends when you get caught by the computer or when you’ve successfully gotten the word out.
The interface of the game is very minimalistic. The entire game is played in text, with only a few choices on every screen, so it’s very important that every choice you make is deliberate as you may not be able to go back to previous points in the game. It can be frustrating but also rewarding when you complete puzzles that were previously impenetrable to you. In addition to being just a fun puzzle game, it also has an intricate backstory about how “supercomputers” took over the world and destroyed humanity—you have to pull up files on your computer that tell this story and reassemble them into coherent sentences or
