Game 47: Missle Command

Missle Command
1980
Atari

The mission should you choose to accept it, defend the six cities from the shower of nukes thats about to rain down a deadly shower of radiation.

Wait, what? you dont want to do it? well crap. that kind of backfired. ill have to go find some other trigger happy missle firer guy or girl…… aww come on just launch the missles!

The basis of this game is rather simple same with the graphics and simple play of the era. instead of a joystick this game came with a track ball. which for the time was a new and exciting concept.(also, could be credited with the evolution of the pc mouse.)

You get six cities, a silo full of missles. The goal, stop the nukes from flattening the six cities for as long as possible. failure to do so results in a game over, success and you rack up the points.

Chachi Says: once again despite the simplisticness of this game it was fun. nuclear war is not funny kids. unless the missle hits a clown.
