Missile Command - Atari Archive Episode 54

The Trak-Ball versions of this game on the 2600 (a hack that was made recently) and the 5200 version are the best I've played of this game.

Missile Command is a great port on 2600. I didn't play it in the day because I simply thought it wouldn't be any good. I played a fair bit of it in the arcade and I couldn't beleive the 2600 would get close. The screenshots were inaccurate too and made the game look worse than it was (which was quite often the case with 2600 games by Atari).

I couldn't believe how well it played when I first tried it. Would have been a firm favourite had I got it when it was contemporary.

As well as it plays with the joystick, the true Trak-Ball hack beats it.  It's fantastic!

I like the mushroom cloud graphic that the 2600 port has. Even the arcade version doesn't have that.

This is one of the best and most consistent YT series around for classic Atari. I always learn something from these.

Warlords is an old favourite of mine - I have a copy boxed with manual. :)
