Congratulations to Petri, of Kloonigames fame! He correctly guessed that the pumpkins I carved (in order) were: Day of the Tentacle, Katamari Damacy, and The Legend of Zelda. Petri’s prize choice was a copy of Defcon. There were only 2 entrants in the contest - was it really that tough?
Defcon, like all of Introversion’s games, stands out as an impressive indie effort. The game succeeds precisely in its focused effort: the play map is small, the player has only a few different options in battle, and the battle interface is simple and clear. With that simplicity comes the polish of balanced gameplay, a very Cold War era-esque aesthetic, and chilling soundtrack. I hope Petri enjoys it as much as I did!

Well, not too tough, but I thought it would be unfair if I entered really. Wouldn’t like to rob you of your Defcons…
BTW, it’s a great game, innit? Probably better than Uplink too…

I hope to run another contest soon - this time maybe I’ll have more than 2 people enter
