Atari classic ‘Missile Command’ is coming back as a mobile game
[ad_1] The title will be available in spring as a free-to-play title with ads, although there will be a one-and-done purchase option to play the game ad-free. You shouldn’t be nickel-and-dimed to death, then. This won’t be the most spectacular way to celebrate Missile Command‘s 40th anniversary (it first hit arcades in July 1980). However, […]
