The year is 1965 and the Cold War has entered it's most fraught and perilous moment. A Soviet Yak-27 has just crash landed on the remote Svalbard islands after a daring covert overflight of NATO bases in Greenland. Tensions have skyrocketed as NATO demands answers from the Soviet Union, but the Kremlin remains ominously silent. As the standoff intensifies, NATO has mobilized a formidable force to counter any emerging threats from the Soviets. Intelligence suggests that Warsaw Pact forces are scrambling to recover the aircraft wreckage, escalating the high-stakes race against time. As NATO and Soviet task forces converge on Svalbard the spectre of war raises it's nuclear scythe.

In Fail Safe you have the chance to Command both Soviet and NATO naval and air battle groups in a 12 mission campaign that will see nuclear fire rain down upon the earth and sea. Advanced weapons like SAM missiles and supersonic jet fighters serve alongside older platforms. F-86 Sabers and F-104 Starfighters will take on Mig-15's and 21's. Old ships like the HMS Victorious, a carrier veteran of World War II, will take on the newest ships of the 1960's like the Soviet November-class submarines and Sverdlov-class cruisers.

- The anti-ship missile has arrived, but will it eclipse the naval gun? Fight in the early age of missile warfare

- Fight on the sea and in the sky. Play 12 missions that run the gamut from full-scale fleet actions to sub hunting, motor-torpedo boat attacks, and convoy escorts

- The supersonic jet and anti-air missile has changed aerial warfare: Can the bombers get past modern fighters like the F-100 Super Sabre or Mig-19 Farmer?

- Will you press the big red button? You may be the commander that chooses to drop the atom bomb.

Fail Safe is the pinnacle of 1960's Cold War air and sea wargaming. The closest you can get to seeing what would have happened if Western and Soviet naval and airpower had fought the war that truly would have ended all wars.

Good luck Commander, and remember to duck and cover.
