About
Missile Command is a warfare-themed shooter game that can be played in single-player or multiplayer mode. The goal is to protect six cities from enemy missile attacks by moving a crosshair and launching anti-ballistic missiles from one of three bases to destroy incoming missiles. Each battery starts with ten ABMs and becomes inactive when depleted or destroyed, requiring strategic decision-making and quick reflexes to avoid losing all cities to enemy fire.
