Introversion's tense strategy games

If you enjoy thinking through systems and living with the results, this set from Introversion Software fits your style. In The Last Starship you piece together a vessel and then keep its power, air and crew steady while taking on transport or mining work. Uplink puts you behind a hacker terminal where contracts ask you to enter networks, copy files and improve your tools. DEFCON shifts the view to a stark map of global tension where every move risks escalation. Across all six titles the focus stays on planning, reading limited information and adjusting when things go wrong.
