Missile Command: Recharged

Might have a heart attack, 10/10

Einwandfreie Umsetzung, könnte bunter und lebendiger sein. Steuerung mit Maus sehr gut.

Remakes of old arcade classics often go very wrong but this is true to the spirit of old Missile Command while updating the controls in a way that makes sense for mouse operations. The graphics and music is nothing special but I regard this as a plus. This is all about the gameplay and doesn't try to annoy you with 3D, loot boxes or other dubious "innovations."

I was 13 when missile command hit the arcades back in 1980. I have been trying to recreate that experience at home for years. I have many retro emulators that can run the original roms but without the trackball, it just isn't the same. I was a bit skeptical when I saw this release but surprisingly, it is a fun "take" on the original. There are 2 game play options, Arcade and Missions. I feel like they are reversed. Arcade mode is just a continual barrage of missiles, bombers and satellites, coming faster and faster as the game progresses. No breaks, just play until you die. The mission mode is more like the original arcade in that the game is played through missions (we called them waves back in the day). A fixed number of missiles/planes/satellites appear in each mission. Once all are destroyed, mission (wave) complete. The scoring is a bit weird in mission mode. They show your score for that mission, but there is also a combined score from all missions. Once a mission mode game ends and you restart, that combined score will change if you complete any mission with a higher score. Just kind of weird you don't see how you did across all missions for that particular game. Definitely a game worth playing even if it doesn't quite capture the feel of the original as well as I would like.

Played with a Blamcon light gun: 8/10 This is one of the most fun and family friendly games I have played. It's not originally a light gun game but it works so well it might as well be.

Missile Command: Recharged is a concise and fun homage to one of the early classics of gaming.

Fun game

This version of the game is certainly less focused on the grim specter of nuclear fire and more focused on how much Red Bull you need to keep up the pace for a high score.

awesome classic recharged!!! love the power ups

Cooles Remake ... macht Spass und hat Suchtpotential.
