Goochman Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Interesting - had to manage the joystick/keyboard combo - wish there were some graphics enhancements but a welcome addition. Would be nice if someone could touch up some of the arcade ports for the 8bit - like changing the blue cats into the monsters in Wizard of War Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgfatari79 Posted February 9, 2005 Share Posted February 9, 2005 Great job played it side by side with the arcade original using mame very close now if only I could setup my Logitech cordless wingman to utilise the three extra buttons required in this game rather than having to be confined to using the keyboard is there any way of doing this with any of the existing emulators?

+DamonicFury Posted February 10, 2005 Share Posted February 10, 2005 As a HUGE fan of arcade Missile Command (I have one in my kitchen!) , I can't express how cool I think this hack is. The title screen is VERY nice, and bringing back the left and right bases really makes this game have that arcade feel again. Great job, Paul!!!! Some minor suggestions (if they're feasible - the game is amazing as is!) Make the P/M graphics for the cursor, plane, sattelite, and smart bomb a bit more like the arcade versions. In the arcade version, the bases fire at different speeds - the middle base is much faster than the side bases. The sky colors in the later waves could be tweaked to be more arcade-like. This is really nitpicky stuff... already the game is so much closer to the arcade than the original. Fantastic work! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
