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!

Still just as much fun today as it was years ago. I still play this on my Atari 2600/7800 regularly.

I love this game. I love the arcade that uses the track ball. The problem I have most is that it seems unbeatable. I guess I should look for an updated mod of this game. On the atari VCS( Video Computer System/ 2600) the pixels are rectangular so your cursor is a rectangle...I don't know if that makes much of a difference. The game is worth it for the 2600, but I feel that it makes it tough into an unbeatable situation. I do love to play the game and it makes nice practice if you are going to try to get the high score of the arcade and it does have the final explosion to signify failure. It does work on the 7800.
