Interesting. It like the idea, but I got bored repeatedly typing "scan, proximity, city, direction, angle, distance" over and over. A one-line command like "scan moscow 0 100", or even the option to automatically scan an area over several days would have been nice, since effectively that's what I ended up doing.
High point for me getting two digits mixed up and accidently bombing Volvograd. I should have called Dimitri to apologize.
Why am I bombing everything??
Repetitive.
Ended up bombing everything right from the start and still had 4M left over.
WarGames was wrong, apparently winning move is to nuke 'em 'til they glow.
I have a feeling this game is for people a lot more talented than I. I couldn't find anything :/
Although just bombing everything is funny too because there's just no chance of you winning.
Also, as a bit of advice, I would recommend putting both files in a zip file and giving people that to download.
Solid atmosphere given minimalism. Has exactly what's needed to make me feel like I'm a Cold War era missile operator.
I tried downloading your source but the two links just go to the File Dropper front page. Can you re-upload them? (Preferably zip them together into a single download, too.)
The presentation (namely, playing in the command window) fit oddly well with the idea of being a missile operator. I'll echo some of the comments here in that it was very repetitive, and I may have been in over my head to begin with.
What is interesting game. Nice use of theme.
