Thermo Nuclear War Games is a text adventure game developed by Australian company Softgold (formerly Gameworx Software), which specialised in multi-load text adventures written in BASIC. It was published on the SC-3000 by Dotsoft and released exclusively in Australia in 1984. The game was also released on Commodore 64 as Nuclear War Games.
The game features full colour graphics of your location to complement the text description. The game is played using the Scott Adams Standard 2-word verb-noun parser.
The game appears to be played under a time limit to increase tension, but it doesn't seem to be measured in real time and is based more on progress from screen to screen.
The story is loosely based on the 1983 movie WarGames, starring Matthew Broderick.
