   Missile command is a popular fun game. The object is to shoot all of the enemy ships that come and try to protect the buildings shooting the missiles at the enemy ships. I think it is hard and i dont really play it that much without it on multiplayer. The more ships that u destroy the harder and faster their bullets come at u. The graphics and sound is the same as any other atari games. This game is fun but it gets hard and boring after u play it for a long time.

   My all time favorite game! Whats not to love? Sure the first few levels seem easy but stick with it, it progressively gets more difficult. Protect your cities, atleast keep one city alive or your done

   Game was in great condition along with manual. For the price of .99, can’t beat that. Great game/memories of the Atari Golden Age.

   Missile command puts you in control of a missile tower, protecting cities from incoming attacks. While not as cool as the original arcade game, this is a decent port.You have one missile tower in the middle of the screen, with cities on the sides. Your supply of missiles is limited, however it’s an appropriate amount given the length of the stages.Missile attacks are represented by a line descending the screen. Shoot the front of the line to destroy the missile. Some are smarter than others, represented by a dot with no line (and a warning sound effect). These require a direct hit to destroy or they will avoid your shot.Failing to prevent a missile from reaching the bottom of the screen may result in losing a city or some of your missiles, depending on where it impacts.Graphics are serviceable, and appropriate for the game. Your explosions are fun to watch as they make a big puff on the screen. Exploding cities are especially cool, with a neat mushroom cloud graphic and flashing screen.Of particular note is how bonus cities are awarded. When you reach certain point thresholds, an extra city is awarded, but only at the end of the round. Thus, you can actually lose all of your cities and still continue playing if an extra city is awarded. It’s one of those “Oooh Yeah!” moments when it happens.Difficulty, the speed of your aiming cursor, and the speed of your anti-missiles are all adjustable when you select your game mode. This gives good customization to suit your pr.

   This is probably the best arcade translation on the 2600! It won the 1981 Electronic Games Magazine “Game of the Year” award. You get 6 cities to defend (just like the arcade), three sets of nuke-blasting ICBMs (ony one base, as opposed to the 3 bases in the arcade), and all of the enemies (nukes, smart bombs, satellites, and warplanes) from the arcade! You will not be disappointed with Missile Command on the Atari 2600!

   Excellent product and service. A classic atari game. A must-have for the fan of the atari 2600. In my opinion the best game system. Takes me back to 1980 again. I love it. Thank you shop. Excellent service.
