Story:The player gets to play as NORAD or WOPR. According to the game's cover box, the story takes place 20 years after the film: WOPR attempts to exterminate humanity and NORAD tried to stop it. During a mission the player takes control of a vehicle and can change the controls of any vehicle the team has - for example, while NORAD has heavily armored and armed tanks and aircraft, WOPR possesses exotically futuristic mechs and hovercraft. Vehicles could recharge ammo by obtaining powers. A unique feature in the game allows the player to command their team to send resupply on ammos or repair damage units. The game allows the player to command teammates to attack or follow the player's main vehicle.Show more

Wargames is one of those hidden gems from the late 90's. I think. I have never played the full game. I've only played a demo if it and I remember having a blast. Please add it here GOG!

I remember renting this game at the video store as a kid in the late 90's. Man it was so much fun! The two campaigns showing human perspective and alien invader perspective. I remember getting my best friend, my cousin or the rare occasion you could convince your dad to play the multiplayer side of it. It was instantly one of my favorite multiplayer game for the PS1. All around great times this game provided back in the day but I only got to play when I rented it. So GOG lets get it rolling....lol. Thx.

Gunpoint

To get past security, you'll need to make creative use of your main gadget: the Crosslink. It lets you see how all the security devices in a level are wired up, and then you can just click and drag with the mouse to wire them differently. So you can connect a lightswitch to a trapdoor, then flick it when a guard walks across to make him fall through.
