Name that WWIII Strategy game!

The first game that springs to mind is Nuclear War

That link will take you to our entry for the game, which includes some screenshots, so you can see if it might be the one.

I don't think it's Nuclear War as that one is rather a fun world war game compared to Conflict Europe.

Sorry, Gentlemen. It wasn't Nuclear War although that was a pretty entertaining game. For those of you that don't know it, it took a comical approach to the Nuclear Armageddon. Very nice.

But nah.. that's not it.

Is Conflict Europe the same game as Theatre Europe? If not it sounds a lot like that. Played it on C64 way back, never did figure out how to win. :-/

Yes. Conflict Europe is in fact the 16 bit version of the old 8 bit classic. I believe they were developed by the same team as well.

Sounds like this from your description cause i also loved this game too!

Hmmm.. nah.. Actually I never played that one, but it sure sounded interesting so I might have to check it out just to see what I missed.

Thanks for the suggestion though.
