Missile Command is an absolute classic of Atari's back catalogue, so here it is in its original arcade incarnation. Originally intended to be a depiction of a defense against missiles heading straight for Californian cities, the game's "plot", such as it is, was later retrofitted to become more of a sci-fi affair.
