Missile Command, Atari’s iconic base defense arcade game from 1980, was built on raster graphics, a trackball controller, and a relentless doomsday theme that mirrored Cold War fears. This episode covers how it was developed, the hardware behind it, the strategies expert players used, and how it became one of the most emotionally resonant and unforgettable games of the golden age.
