MicroProse announces Deck & Conn - Cold War Tactics in Space

MicroProse is proud to announce it will publish Deck & Conn, a retro-inspired, single-player turn-based tactics game that places players in command of a Cold War-era nuclear corvette - in space.
Set fifteen minutes into the future of 1989, the game blends pixel-art charm with deep strategic gameplay, drawing inspiration from early MicroProse classics and the legendary 1971 Super Star Trek mainframe game.
