I know its lame but using old-school vector graphics to show nuclear war still creeps me out. Something about representing the widespread death and destrustion of billiions of people with colorful little dots and lines.
It's too bad they had to ruin Defcon with gameplay and music, there's something about watching nuclear apocalypse on vector graphics that's super terrifying
It's impossible to understate how much this movie blew my mind when I was a kid. I can recall actually shaking with emotion at this point and walking around for weeks afterwards fulminating to bemused adults and annoyed peers about the dangers of nuclear armageddon. I believe the Cold War had been over for a year or two at that point...
