Item Description

There is no winning Missile Command. Dave Theurer's 1980 arcade game for Atari famously ends not with “Game Over” but with “The End,” a blunt reminder that every city eventually falls, and that grim Cold War honesty is a big part of why it still grips players more than four decades later. The premise could not be simpler: missiles streak down from the top of the screen, and you fire counter-missiles to detonate them in mid-air before they reach the cities you are sworn to protect.

This Game Boy Color edition, developed by The Code Monkeys and published by Hasbro Interactive in 1999, is a colorized update of the studio's own Game Boy conversion, which Accolade released in 1992. With no trackball to roll, you steer the targeting crosshair with the D-pad, and the arcade game's key skill carries straight over: counter-missile explosions linger in the air, so a well-placed shot can swallow several incoming warheads at once if your timing is sharp. Color brings the cities, the missile trails and the blasts to life in a way the monochrome original never could.

What makes Missile Command so compulsive is the triage. As the waves speed up you can't save everything, so every shot is a decision about what to protect and what to let go, and your score depends on how coolly you make those calls. It is built for a few tense rounds at a time, and a colorful way to keep one of the defining games of the arcade golden age on a Nintendo handheld.
