Hey GOGers! The title of the post kind of says it all.

I just released a game about the Cold War called ICBM and I'd love to know what y'all think!

It's meant to be a love letter to the era of games that GOG is keeping alive so fantastically.

It's available for free from www.icbm-game.com</span>

(Windows only, currently, I'm hoping to have a Mac and Linux port soon)

Hey, how come you can post links with 0 rep ? Did they change the requirement ?
And...who are you?
And...where in the world is Carmen Sandiego!?

The trailer is very well done!

I'm always interested in non-typical stuff done with the AGS engine. Downloaded the game (and the soundtrack) and what I saw so far looks amazing. Will try to give you some feedback once I've really played the game.

Perhaps a bug makes the automatic URL detection/link creation work but not the manual URL tags?

Downloaded the game and started to play but nothing happens, no phone calls coming in even on the highest difficulty. Am I missing something here?

Also, ALT + TAB freezes game, had to shut down the game via task manager. Pressing Enter as instructed in the readme file doesn't help, this is on Windows 7 64bit.

I would say that it works exactly as intended by the developer. After all the world didn't explode back in 1983.

Is this some kind of late April's Fools?

I think I'm gonna go play Desert Bus now, more exciting!

PS: I want those 4 minutes of my life back

And why does it say "(c) 1990"??

I'm confused... is it a game where nothing happens? Or have the game's possible actions just not been triggered yet?
It *looks* really good. Well done!

I love "the who are you?" question. :)

Very well done. I loved the intro and the outro sequence and the small details during the missions (like the non-working clock).

A second campaign that shows the Soviet side of the story would have been great.

I wouldn't say that nothing happens, but you wait for an incoming call that will never come (or will it if you just play often enough?).
