Sir-Inferno, you look awefully like Greg Proops, it's spooky!
I thought it was always a dead giveaway for the computer to notify
your opponent that an atom bomb was heading his way.
I'd never waste a good A-Bomb on military targets, I much preffered to
set one off where there was a group of unsuspecting alsatians.
But the mushroom cloud was always dissapointing compared to the TNT
Truck in Napalm. Did you see that thing go off? And then there's the
Independance Day style air-raid siren followed by UFO attack in Napalm
that wiped out your entire base!
But on a different genre, who could forget the Giga Nukes in Aminet PD
multiplayer game Brutal Homicide? You drop one, then run a few miles
across the level then the screen brightness goes up and the entire map
has an apocalypse in the middle. The attention to detail was amazing
with the radiation glowing and sapping your health, not to mention the
mad dash to escape the blast before you friend saw your location on
radar and fried you.
:-D
