About Missile Command 3D

Missile Command 3D is an update to the classic Atari arcade game. The goal in Missile Command is to defend your cities against an onslaught of missiles coming from the sky. Your arsenal consists of three anti-missile flak cannons. You have to position the anti-missile clouds in the path of the incoming missiles to stop them from impacting. This Jaguar game has 3 modes. First, there is a port of the original arcade game. There are neat extras for this mode like graphic backdrops and the ability to resize or scale the screen. The second mode is Missile Command 3D. This mode retains the gameplay of the original, but adds 3D graphics to the mix. The final mode, Virtual Missile Command, changes things up quite a lot. Instead of anti-missile flak, your cannons shoot lasers. This means you don't need to lead your targets anymore. You play the game from a first-person perspective, and must switch between the three cannons via buttons on the keypad. There are nine levels in this mode, each with a boss at the end.

Atari Jaguar prices, all games & how to spot a fake

The only game for a VR headset that was cancelled before it ever existed — lead the listing with that.

Atari contracted Virtuality — then the biggest name in commercial VR — to build a Jaguar headset, with this as the showcase title. The headset was cancelled over health concerns; the game shipped December 1995 with its Virtual mode intact and nothing to plug it into. That gives the Jaguar two separately cancelled peripherals, each with exactly one supporting retail game (the Voice Modem has Ultra Vortek). No other console has this.

The game itself updates Dave Theurer's 1980 arcade classic — the same designer whose Tempest became the Jaguar's best game — in three modes, and contemporary reviewers most often singled out the headset-designed Virtual mode as the best of them.

Before you buy

Moderately common; the VR story is the listing hook almost nobody mentions. Included in Atari 50. Low counterfeit risk.
