Missile Command - Atari Archive Episode 54

One of Atari's biggest classics of the arcade golden age comes to the VCS as Missile Command makes its debut. Rob Fulop's conversion of the arcade original sacrifices a few components to make it work within the home console's limitations, but the core gameplay loop of Missile Command shines through, resulting in one of the finest takes on an arcade game on the platform to date.
