Missile Command on Atari 2600 VCS
This is a short video clip of me playing Missile Command on the Atari 2600 VCS retro video games console.
Released by Atari in 1981, the arcade version of Missile Command famously appears in the Hollywood blockbuster, Terminator 2.
The 2600 conversion is somewhat cutdown, with a limited number of shots available to you at any one time, and only one missile base, instead of three, with which to defend your cities.
Despite this, Missile Command still plays fairly well on the 2600, this stick control being not as sensetive as the arcade track ball, but working well enough to do the job.
This and the other retro gaming clips on this site aren't intended as full game reviews, but are simply to give viewers who weren't around when these games were popular, an idea of what video games used to be like.
