This is the 29th video in a new series where I am going to highlight each of my classic games I wrote for both the original Spectravideo and MSX computers.
In this video we move onto Program Pack XI and my take on the arcade game Missile Command.
#programming #msx #tutorial

This game introduces some new techniques, using the powerful Draw command to display complex shapes and I think plays quite a decent version of the arcade game considering it is written entirely in Basic.

The source code is available to download and play with at my website here:

If you are interested in the Beyond Basic articles and the book mentioned in this video, you can find it on Amazon in both Kindle and printed editions here:
