Total Nuclear Annihilation is a simple yet challenging game -  After entering the password you are greeted with a small guide on how to play.  When you begin the game, a cursor is placed on a random location. Nuclear bombs will immediately begin to drop across the world! You must move the cursor left or right using the arrow keys to cycle through the various locations on the map. When you press ENTER you will place a red marker at that location. The purpose is to locate a hidden bunker and mark it before it is Annihilated by a nuclear bomb! You have a limited number of six attempts to find a bunker. If you fail  - you along with the rest of the world are Annihilated!
