When I was a kid in the '80s I used to name the cities after major U.S. cities. This made the game a bit more exciting.

Kind of off topic, but has anyone seen the documentary "High Score"? It's about a guys quest to break the Missile Command arcade high score. Excellent movie!

I saw it. It is rather slow-moving..
And now I scored 203,680, thereby breaking the twin galaxies record. I got bored and turned the damned thing off.

I just got 245,315...

Good job guys! Yeah, it seemed like a kind of low score. I figure that maybe no one else has submitted a high score for Missile Command 2600. One of you should.

RE the movie High Score: Yes it is kind of slow moving when compared to King Of Kong, but I still found it riveting. That guy gets hosed hard core!

What a fascinating bit of trivia! How could you make the control panel more complex? We have to aim the cursor, with a trackball - ok.. And you have to shoot missiles from bases with 3 buttons, ok! What else is there? Control detonation time and delay? Control missile direction and speed? Recall or reassign missiles to different targets?

here's the picture of the original marquee. and the story about it...

I have to come clean, My best score is around 107k.
