[wasnatwas]

how many people does it take to screw in a light bulb during a nuclear war , none

people in a nuclear war don't need a light because they're already gowing in the dark

This is the video the United States Air Force Missile Command uses in their advanced missileman training school. Fo Shizzle.

[SonicPAJ]

"if all your cities are blown up by ICBMs its not the end of the world"

yes it is!

This game came as a sample game when my dad finally bought me an atari in 1983 so this is the only game I could afford to play for a while...

[Deezhan]

eyyyy, now I remember this game! I think played something very similar on windows 95:P

[Bastige56]

I think I was one of the few people who could actually play this game in the arcade.

[unclesamandy]

This was my fav for the Atari

[LordZacknafien]

@unclesamandy This game is still my favorite.

I still play it on my Old Atari 2600 also I love to play frogger Pitfall MegaForce and WORMS.

[braincrisp1]

THE best game on the ol' 2600. The upper stages would become extremely challenging.

dan lebetard xDDDDD

[ratbuhed]

Ohh shit i played this when i was in grade school..

[lasercult]

Pales in comparison to the arcade version.

[Oneofthosecoolkids]

@lasercult

so true, but for an atari conversion its pretty good..not like pacman or donkey kong for example :)

[dreamcastII]

this is a good conversion

[FreakwaveNL]

good memories...

[phospholipasec]

Can someone tell me how I can play this game? Is the Atari the only way to play it?

I don't want to play the XBOX 360 live version.

[Bittergamer1886]

You can buy it on any console.

[TheDoctorTL2]

@phospholipasec it was produced for windows too (wikipedia)

[slogsweep]

@phospholipasec

You can buy an atari 10-in-1 plug and play TV game for about £5-10 on ebay. It'll munch batteries but its a great way to play this, and 5 or 6 other Atari classics

[IvanEBC]

Wait for it .... rights sold, movie is coming .. just like asteroids.

[manofscience42]

this brings back my old gaming memories as a kid... i was shit hot at this game lol!!!

[christianoronaldoecb]

isit true if u beat every level there have a bonus level call the killer screen

[ToricoUK]

I wanna be as good as John Connor

[floydgehrig]

humiliation is a bit of a strong word

[poshko41]

This dude has shitty aim.

[Zechbenne]

best of the atari

[pascalbg]

Now that's humiliation!

[ericd727]

Billy Mitchell is a complete and utter douchebag.

[vookap]

The classics have endings - they're called kill screens. Billy Mitchell has hit them on both Pac Man and Donkey Kong.

[wautrey]

They're not technically "endings", chief. The code gets bugged when the memory runs out and the RAM has to be reset. If the code wasn't bugged, the games would go into infinity.

[livardo]

This is a great example of a classic 2600 game which had pretty good replay value. Thanks for the vid.

[fixdeluxe1]

Classic on ATARI

[justjb102]

this game was unbeatable. no matter what you did there was no ending to it

[ApolloBoy]

Of course there's no ending. Many games of the time never had an ending; you just kept playing for a higher score.

[rabieschu]

at the time the competition in halls was the hi-score, not many games are made that way anymore.

[larrystevensjr]

this was cool at its time! A coldwar starwars progam themed game for 1980's youth!

[WebVMan]

I didn't like games older than NES, but now that I actually have a choice whether to play a game due to its graphics or gameplay, I pick Atari. Actually, I hate most Atari games, but anything Activison developed is pure gold. I owned 4 of those collections, but currently, I only own the PC one because the PC version owns all of the collections.

[Gigafart]

@he 2600 version was my favorite, i guess because i grew up on it. Whats even funnier is Ignignokt from Aqua Teen is actually one of the cities in the 2600 version of Missile Command. Atari graphics still raising hell in the new century

[TGMMVI]

Did you know, if you select wave 13, fire all your bombs off, and let every city be destroyed before the wave ends... You'll find a secret!

[bobthesmasher]

Is it that you're gay?

[Mango7]

Don't worry if the outer cities get destroyed? What if you lived in one of those outer cities?(hopefully)

[AeiouTube]

Missle command is my favorate game,

[jackbox1971]

This was a splendid 2600 game, comparable to Yars Revenge , Defender, or Vanguard in quality. But why no bomber? I would have thought that would have been easy to do on the system.

[Mango7]

What a novice! Those are NOT ufo's, but smart bombs.

[videogameknowitall]

Missel Command was a extremily well done port to the Atari, concidering that the Atari 2600 only had 4K of RAM. Even by 1982 many programmers for that Atari 2600 were strugeling to make games that could work on the 2600's hardware...Dispite this the Atari 2600 is a great system.

[ApolloBoy]

The 2600 actually had 128 bytes of RAM. Yes, that's right. 128 BYTES.

[videogameknowitall]

Yes, my point exactily was that it had very little memory, especially when compaired to today's consoles!

[Yarkie]

I was much better at this game as a kid than an adult.

[SeventhSun]

I kind of like this game for some strange reason though I'm not very good at it.

[peanutman10]

this video was good but i was wondering why the hell you used this game ?
