****About this mod****

This mod actually started nearly 2 years ago as an idea in mind of the someone you all mostly know as The Hunter altho the idea never gotten any form until early 2006 were I made the very first model for the mod and started working on organizing the mod and planning things by myself.
The mod itself is based of an old game known as WarGames which was made by a game studio which was formerly known as InterActive Studios.
Altho the game was absolutely amazing and very ahead of it's time when it was released it never got the attention which it deserved (or at least not in my oppinion) as many features of the game were seen in other RTS games way later and some I have yet to see in other RTS games.


****The game.****

The game itself is about the N.O.R.A.D. (North American Aerospace Defense Command) and the W.O.P.R. (War Operations Plan Response).
The N.O.R.A.D. represents the human side of the game which must protect humanity from total annilhilation by the W.O.P.R.
The W.O.P.R. side is a race controlled by a big super computer and their weapons are state of the art hightech weaponry.
The W.O.P.R. mainframe wants to prevent war in the world by eliminating humanity and only the N.O.R.A.D. is capable of stopping the W.O.P.R. advance.

Anyway that's it for history about the game and the mod. With this project we want all gamers in the world to get a second chance to experience this game on a better capable 3D engine with all features from the original game restored which has lead us to create this mod. We all hope you'll enjoy it as much as we did making it.

~The Hunter
