Gorfy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 First try 4,250 Fun game, but I still haven't figured out the rebound shots for when the force field is impenetrable. I accidentally pushed the fire button after the game ended, which reset the game before I could take a screenshot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+KaeruYojimbo Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 From the manual: HELPFUL HINTS Protect and defend your cities. That's not actually a hint. That's just the objective. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorfy Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Staring to make the rebound shots now, but man they really start to bomb the crap out of ya. Score: 9,480 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karokoenig Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 (edited) 4,400 for the moment, and just as in Gorfy's case: no screenshot. This is a tough game to control with cursor keys, but I like the concept. (edit): New score: 7,170.

Scrabbler15 Posted July 12, 2016 Share Posted July 12, 2016 4560 "Have you ever been playing Missile Command and thought to your yourself, you know, I could really use a game with something less? Sure, Missile Command gets all the props, but do you really require all those high priced features? Multiple shots on the screen at once? Simultaneous explosions? Who needs it! You can protect your cities and show off your single shooter prowess at the same time! And now, you can do it all for one low, low price! Step down to Missile Control! Order before midnight tonight! Not available in stores!" . 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vocelli Posted July 16, 2016 Share Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Vocelli: 7060 Didn't have a lot of time to play. Thought it could have been good with the break away brinks.... then the bank shots turned me off. Edited July 16, 2016 by Vocelli 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S.BAZ Posted July 17, 2016 Author Share Posted July 17, 2016 11,830 "Good" +1! Man, this gets gruelling! Pretty much all I could do was just position the cursor in one spot and shoot each time a missile comes, waiting for the occasional rebound shot to hit. I liked this game at first but it's not a good sign if the game starts to bore me right when I first start getting better at it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
