The classic Mac/Windows game DEFCON is still available on Steam. Its combination of vector graphics and an eerie soundtrack are still a good but sobering experience.

I was going to recommend this game as well.

I think the vector graphics are inspired on the WOPR computer from the film WarGames.

btw, that movie has a sequel which is probably the worst sequel of any film ever made.

Now... nuclear war strategies will change now that there are hypersonic missiles and scramjet vehicles.

In a completely different vein, there's also Nuclear War for the Amiga:
