Written by the same fella that wrote Megapede which I was very fond of many years ago. Have to say, I am not big on Missile Command, but this was just good. It's really fun and playable, it gets frantic as you go on, and it's outright full of thrills. It doesn't quite get a 5 but it gets a very good 4 from me at least. I would have loved this back in the day and given it's from the same author of Megapede I want to play this dude's other games.

Softek’s version of the classic Missile command. The basic idea is you are in control of the defences of a row of cities under nuclear attack. Warheads reign down in vapour trails and you have to destroy them before they hit home. This version you only get one pyramid-shaped base, but there is a plane and a nicely drawn satellite. This is one of the poorer versions. The missiles just come down in straight lines and its slow and not much of the challenge. The graphics aren’t up to much and the explosions are brief flashes. Does allow you to put in your name when you get a hi-score and the keyboard lay-out is good, but that doesn’t make up for the fact that its far too easy and dull after a while and also not very authentic to the original. Difficulty 2 out of 5.
