Games as addictive as Nuclear War?

I'm currently addicted to Nuclear War and can't get enough of it. It's such a fun game to play, bombing the likes of Tricky Dick or Infidel Castro or sending propaganda to Mikhail Gorabachef is just so funny.

So are there any more games similar to this? Games with a Risk style feel or even a World domination aspect perhaps with a bit of humour thrown in?

I've got a couple of ideas... How about watching grass grow and watching paint dry?

Though not really the same style, perhaps North & South fit the bill?

North & South was the only other game I could think of; similar though not the same...

Yeah the selection is quite limited, thanks for the suggestion. I'll try it out.

Well, it's a lot harder but have you tried Civilization?

Yes, that and Colonization both are great games which I spent way too many hours playing and kept me up in the wee small hours of the morning.

Mrz was having a joke with you... it's nothing like Nuclear War or North & South and is renowned as being one of the most bizarre / shite games on the Amiga... well, along with Kang-Fu.

...don't even bother trying; your eyes will bleed

Haha, now I'm even more curious to try it out.

Is Nuclear War the game that playing from a copy causes manual protection to be used?
