I have to be specific because there's two versions of the same game. On the PS1, you play it as a sort of shooter; selecting various units and blowing up objectives. In the PC version, you take control as a warlord, churn out units and buildings, and direct them to do the same.
There are two factions: WOPR and NORAD; robots and humans. WOPR wants to take over the world, NORAD wants to save it. Now it was basically just a Command and Conquer rip-off, but I didn't know that at the time. I also didn't know that all early versions came with the Marburg Virus. Fun for everyone. You go through 15 missions per side, all around the world, from land to sea to the air, to destroy humanity or save it. It's probably written better than it was made, though the execution got it average (60s-80s?) reviews at the time.
Looking back it was a cheaply made, rushed, asset-stealing and paper-mask swapping cash grab, but it was fun enough. You can't find this game anywhere - all I found was just the PS1 version. Maybe I should ask MGM themselves for the .exe....
