#8: “Wargame: European Escalation” (2012) Filled with modern shooter gameplay like securing objectives, using drones to accomplish a wide variety of tasks, and employing airstrikes to cripple the opposition, “Frontline” made for a fun escape to the not too distant, and scary, future. Set in 2024, the game follows a war between the Western Coalition which is essentially NATO, and the Red Star Alliance, a union between Russia and China, as they fight to secure the remaining oil resources. Obviously following in the footsteps of the more popular “Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare” and the “Battlefield” series, “Frontlines: Fuel of War” was certainly not as memorable or impactful as said titles, but it was still a good game in its own right. The game was a huge success and is fondly remembered as a staple of the Golden Age of Arcades. Instead, this game parallels real National Missile Defense and depicts a world ravaged by nuclear war as the player attempts to stop incoming missiles. And yes, the Atari version went and ruined this story by introducing fictional planets that sound like they were swiped from a discarded “Star Wars” script, but there is no reference to that in the original arcade release. Released at a time when the Cold War was influencing pop culture to a large degree, “Missile Command” prayed on the fears of a nuclear war and gave arcade players a fun yet challenging take on the hypothetical situation.
