Hi Jim,
Hmmmm....I see. If I recall the main story behind Missile Command, at
least the original one, it was suppose to be about an interplanetary war
between Earth and Mars. You, the game player, were suppose to be
commanding a high tech missile defence station, and shoot down the
incoming alien missiles. I only remember the story somewhat because back
in the 1980's some of the more popular games of that era had a few comic
books or cartoons based on them. For example, remember the Packman
Saturday morning cartoons?
Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
Yes, we are talking about the same 1982 Atari 2600 Missile Command
game. It could have been a laser cannon, but I thought that they were
missiles and that was a missile trail that we saw so that we saw where
they were going. The main reason that I thought that they were
missiles was because when they got to where you targeted they exploded
if they hit the incoming missile or not. Didn't figure that a laser
would do that. But I should also say that I never ever read any of
the game instructions or story. Just popped that cartridge in and
started playing.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
