Missile Command review - Nintendo Gameboy
Like Centipede, the original machine used a rollerball control method. It was very popular, especially with highscore freaks who could literally play for days on one credit!
GAME: An enemy missile attack is imminent and you've got to save six cities from certain doom by using anti-missiles launched from two bases located either side of the screen.

Although the three missile bases of the original coin-op have now become two, plus the graphics have been brought up to date (I do think original graphics should be used if possible - after all, these are supposed to be conversions), this is a great version of the original machine. It's addictive, fun and is very challenging on later levels. A classic that's well worth looking out for. 
Buy Missile Command from Genki

What do you get if you convert a game from the arcade original that relies on one primary attribute (namely the double ball control method) that elevates the game above the ordinary concept that it undoubtedly is, an attribute that got the coin-op into Terminator 2, an attribute so essential that the entire gameplay is built around it? Missile Command on the GB.
