A FAR Sight Better than the Original
Especially with its “modern conveniences,” mechanics, and “Blooming” graphics, it’s an objectively a better game. It’s far more engaging, and the graphics are amazingly cool, especially for such a small app that takes so little space. Plus, the touch controls are sweet, because today’s Bluetooth trackballs generally don’t connect to consoles or mobile.
It’s just not what blew people away, in 1980, because it was completely revolutionary at the time, and it was larger than life at the arcades. Others may have to make a point to stick to with their retro-identities, though...
However, if you want to play that on a mobile device (I suggest a cheap, old iPad), then buy the Atari Arcade app, which has the OG and many others. You can max that out with its USB-A to Dock Atari Arcade joystick and iPad holder by duo, which makes for a sweet, little tabletop arcade of Atari games, for I think $7 bucks plus an iPad 2 (i.e., TWO!) or later, which you could pro’lly get for free and replace the battery...
You could also grab the Atari 8-bit computer version—if you’re too hardcore to play without a trackball but not so hardcore as to buy a cabinet—because an Atari 400/800/600XL/800XL/1200XL/65XE/130XE/XEGS and an OG Atari Trak-Ball (two versions with DB9/Atari Joystick connectors) is the closest to the OG, without being the OG — with good graphics (but not vector graphics, like this app’s version and the OG) and ‘cause the Atari Trak-Ball can be set to move at the speed of its spinning, just like the arcades, as opposed to just slowly moving in the direction you’re rolling, ATM.
Aside from all that, if you don’t have some version between an 8-bit Atari Computer and an iDevice/New VCS/any of the more modern PCs or consoles that will drive this game or the follow up they did in 2022 to make this free one even better. You might even think about this as looking at the spark for Atari’s entire “Recharged” games, which are the pinnacle of Atari’s (many) remakes of its games.

Missile Controls
Sometimes the missiles stay at the ground when I don’t want it too
Genius
Genius game. Just the right balance between tough arcade and casual. Imaginative power ups. Good control! Destroyed launcher rebuild feature is cool. Bravo!
Rapid Doesn’t Work
Whenever I hit “R” cube, my missile don’t fire. Anybody else notice this glitch?
The score is regressing
I had a total of approximately 52000 point, now I have 47000. Whenever I cross the 50 thousands, next I play the score goes back to 47000.
Also, nothing happens when I press the scores button, top left.

Ransomware
You play through a couple of times and then it says you have to wait for 11 minutes, or hand over money. So I uninstalled t.
Nostalgia
Jogo perfeito, muito bem refeito! Parabéns aos desenvolvedores pela produção e pela ideia. Uma sugestão: cheguei muito rápido ao máximo das armas, poderia ter mais níveis de elevação, ao mesmo tempo poderia aumentar a dificuldade dos mísseis. Uma ideia: no menu uma opção para jogar este jogo clássico remasterizado e uma opção para jogar uma versão nova, com novos tipos de armas, novos métodos de jogo, novos tipos de mísseis. Está precisando de atualização no game!

Fake company hawking fake products
I ordered a system from this “company”. Never got it, never had anyone speak to me.
Will forever be a poser and not even 1 star on anything.

Fun Retro Classic!
I remember playing Missile Command on the Atari 2600 as a kid. Great portable version I can play anytime on my phone! Cute and nostalgic gameplay! As long as it stays advertisement free—I’ll keep playing it! Mega kudos!
Way better than most mobile games
Fun classic style game, no ads of chores, just simple and fun.
Potential city
This is an easy one, just add more levels of game play!
After an hour of play, all upgrades are maxed out! That’s it, nothing more to it! Such a great, fun game if it only took longer than approx an hour to completely max out!
C’mon guys, you’ve got a winner with this classic remake. For Pete’s sake, and all that’s holy, please add a few more levels! Just seems so lazy! 🤦🏻♂️
I can’t be the only one with this request…

Затягнуло
Файна гра, не думав, що так довго зависну в ній 😅
Nice rendition of Missile Command BUT…
I love the updated control system for missile command. It’s hard to time the missiles from three different sources. I like the game “Cosmic Cannonade” better because the missiles come from a single source so it’s much more satisfying timing that missile to hit the target.
つまらない！
以前iPhoneアプリでmissile Commandがあったのですが日本でダウンロード出来なくなり、最後はOSの更新に対応せずに使えなくなり消えました。
昔のアプリを復活して欲しいです！！

Additional Upgrades Needed
Please add some additional upgrades or new weapons to use points for. I love this game but want something to keep working towards.
Missile command
Love this game but once you get so hi in standings the game takes cheap shots and flies through shots like they aren’t there. Come on now.
Pure gaming
Excellent translation touch screen. Art and music is on point. Satisfying. Unique. This is a classy mobile game. And would be just as classy in an arcade.
So glad there aren’t obnoxious purchases to make, screens to waste my time, and other non-skill-based garbage to dilute the things I want in a game: me playing it.

Glitch
Found a glitch. Suddenly the program stayed in the slo-mo mode after hitting the “T”. It was like shooting fish in a barrel. Stayed that way for maybe 30 minutes while I ran up the score, then it reverted to normal speed. It’s a guess that those super high scores are from hackers. Yeah, the programmers need to fix or get rid of the “R” that usually ends the game.

Nicely packaged classic
Don’t forget to keep it updated Atari!
Boring
After20 minutes only lets you up to level 6 upgrades. This is a money grab... living off a legend game.. deleted it. The in game upgrades lame you get a ton of fast and slow upgrades but hardly mega or time stop and when you do no misses are incoming so it’s useless
