Missile Command (1980)

THE BEST 2600 GAME EVER!!!!

User Rating: 10 | Missile Command 2600

I own a 2600 and I play retro games all the time. Of all the old games from any station (NES, 2600, 5600,GNS, and any other platform I may have left out) this would be the best. The plot is simple, defend the cities and the missile base and stay alive. Its a strategy as well as an action game. It has great graphics for an Atari game (which the Atari company didn't focus on the graphics, they focused on the gameplay) they also put in appropriate sound effects and appropriate graphics for it. It is an amazing game and I dare you to play this game and say it was boring, because there is no way that it is boring cause' its just plain awesome.
