Is there a decent "War Games" type game?

I'm looking for a "world domination" type game that would be similar to the computer simulation in the movie "War Games". The closest thing i've ever been able to find is Empire Deluxe. This game is lots of fun and very detailed but it doesn't have nuclear weapons which would obviously change the game completely.

Anyone have any suggestions?

I bought a game called SuperPower for 20 bucks at Software ETC. Its pretty cool. You control any nation you want and you can either play with set senerios or free play. You control the economic and military aspects of your country plus your countries interactions with other countries. The military units are very diverse and a battle can take about 30 min to plan if you are detailed. The only drawback is once you start invading countries stupid stuff starts happening like Venezuela invading Somolia??? Impossible stuff like that. And if you use Nukes to much then other countries will go all out on you and if the radiation level of the earth rises above a certain point the the game is over. Its worth $20 though.

Thanks for the response, Mopower. Here's a link to the game's site if anyone else is interested.

SuperPower home page

the links on that page don't seem to work but the demo can be found HERE if anyone else is interested.

I'm pretty sure there aren't any nukes in Panzer General.

There's a game called World War III Black Gold. I've never played it but it's supposed to be pretty good. If anyone out there has played it how did you like it?
