Modding DEFCON for Christmas: Gifts, Not Nukes

Posted by timothy on from the send-some-gift-auf-deutsch dept.

An anonymous reader writes "Some coders modified Introversion's DEFCON, the game of nuclear war, by replacing the audio and visual components and some code to make a Christmas mod where you deliver presents instead of nukes to children (Bombers become sleighs, Fighters become reindeer, SAMs become Snowmen, etc). Their site explains the x86 assembly hackery and artistic components of their holiday hack."

    I know this is better than average for Slashdot, but still, This mod for DEFCON came out more than a month ago (November 9) Here's the original thread that it debuted in: http://forums.introversion.co.uk/defcon/viewtopic. php?t=3355

    See our progress log for more info on the Mac port. If I'm lucky, I might be able get the cross-platform multiplayer working this week, which is what's holding up the (private) beta release.

    I'm kind of surprised it doesn't work in Bootcamp.
