Game Over: The Epic End of Balance of Power (1980, Macintosh)

A black screen with white pixelated text mimicking a retro video game ending. The text reads: 'You have ignited a nuclear war. And no, there is no animated display of a mushroom cloud with parts of bodies flying through the air. We do not reward failure.' Below, a small 'END' box and a red cursor blink in the bottom right corner. The tone is dryly sarcastic, implying the player's failure was so catastrophic it's not even worth a visual payoff.
