Each base has 10 missiles. You have to shoot your missiles into the sky to destroy the incoming enemy missiles. When your missiles explode, everything in the blast radius is destroyed, so it is possible to wipe out multiple enemy missiles with one shot. The enemy missiles come in waves, and you get bonus points at the end of each wave for remaining cities and any of your extra unused missiles. As the battle goes on, and you repel each wave, the enemy weapons will move faster and faster.
Incoming missiles drop from the top of the screen towards the cities at the bottom of the screen.
Some missiles can be dropped from enemy spacecraft that occasionally fly across the sky. Some missiles have multiple warheads and will split in several directions. The game is controlled with a mouse or trackball, and a few keys on the keyboard. Classic Missile Command Click on images to enlarge One big addition to the game is music. The original coin-op game didn't have any music, but this new game does.
