Asteroids Missile Command (Gameboy)
Posted: May 10th, 2017, 5:58 pm
Arcade Classics #1 for Nintendo Gameboy, with ports made by Accolade, not Atari.
Looking at Missile Command first.
The famed Nintendo D pad is a poor substitute for a trak ball, but it does an okay job. The A and B work 2 (not three) missile batteries under your command. I am playing on a GBC, but its still shades of green. There is a watermark sort of background of specific cities you defend. The first is Cairo and the Pyramids, and the next is New York with the Statue of Liberty and the Manhattan skyline including the Twin Towers. That stings the first time it pops up. London is next up.
All in all, I am enjoying it. The missile explosions last awhile, so you can comfortably lead targets.
