Missile Command 3D is a three-in-one game cartridge. In all three games you control three missile bases protecting a number of cities. You use your bases to fire at the enemy missiles descending on your cities. The object is to defeat as many missile waves as possible before your cities are destroyed.
Original Missile Command offers graphics and gameplay similar to the original arcade game.
3D Missile Command transforms the landscape of the original game into a three-dimensional landscape. You pan your crosshairs back and forth to see your cities and bases in front of you. You pan upward to aim your weapons at the smoke trails signifying the descending missiles.
Virtual Missile Command takes the update one step further. The game moves through stages set at various locations: Undersea Colony, Cloud City, and Space Station. If you defeat enough waves, you are able to move to the next location. There are a variety of enemy missiles, aircraft, and bosses to face. Powerups have been added to help you repair damage and rearm.
