Missile Command

DEFEND CIVILIZATION

Fiendishly clever Krytolians are out to destroy your peace-loving planet of Zardon. Wave after wave of interplanetary missiles have been launched at your planet. As commander of Zardonian defenses, your task is to defend the six cities of Zardon. You are anything but hopeless. Powerful anti-ballistics missile bases defend your cities. You're in command of ABM's aiming and firing. But be wary, Krytolians also launch "smart" cruise missiles that can be just as deadly as IPBM's. And in each of the games for one or two commanders, battle conditions change dramatically. 34 Games

It's an honor to be Commander of Defense for a planet as important as this one. So far, protecting Zardon has been a piece of cake. But today the hot line flashes wildly, and you learn that a barrage of enemy missiles is heading straight at you.
