Missile Command 1981 Atari
7Missile Command is a 1980 arcade game developed and published by Atari, Inc. and licensed to Sega for European release. It was designed by Dave Theurer, who also designed Atari's vector graphics game Tempest from the same year. The 1981 Atari 2600 port of Missile Command by Rob Fulop sold over 2.5 million copies and became the third most popular cartridge for the system.
The player's six cities are being attacked by an endless hail of ballistic missiles, some of which split like multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles. New weapons are introduced in later levels: smart bombs that can evade a less-than-perfectly targeted missile, and bomber planes and satellites that fly across the screen launching missiles of their own. As a regional commander of three anti-missile batteries, the player must defend six cities in their zone from being destroyed.
Missile Command is considered one of the great classic video games from the Golden Age of Arcade Games. The game is also interesting in its manifestation of the Cold War's effects on popular culture, in that the game features an implementation of National Missile Defense and parallels real life nuclear war.
In 1983 Softline readers named Missile Command for the Atari 8-bit family eighth on the magazine's Top Thirty list of Atari programs by popularity.
Missile Command foi um dos primeiros jogos da Atari que se tornaram bastante populares entre os jogadores de vídeo game de sua época, em grande parte devido à proposta interessante de jogo, que era a de defender uma cidade do ataque de mísseis vindos do céu. O jogador usava, para tanto, uma mira brilhante.Com essa mira, o jogador tinha o poder de colocá-la em qualquer ponto da tela e, usando o botão vermelho do joystick, causar uma grande explosão, com raio de alcance suficiente para destruir os mísseis inimigos. Missile Command foi lançado em 1981 para o sistema Atari 2600. No Brasil, o referido jogo vinha junto com o console do Atari.
Na Segunda temporada da série CHUCK, capítulo 5, há uma certa referência ao jogo Missile Command, onde Chuck deve jogar o jogo para chegar a tela da morte e conseguir o código de acesso a um satélite, para evitar que o mesmo sofra uma explosão.
Em 2013, durante a semana geek, o YouTube permitiu que os usuários jogasse o jogo, digitando "1980" no teclado durante a reprodução de um vídeo. Caso você falhe na missão, o vídeo ficará todo "trincado".
