About Super Asteroids & Missile Command

Super Asteroids & Missile Command (also known as Super Asteroids and Super Missile Command as seen on the title screen) is an Atari Lynx video game that combines the classic video games Asteroids and Missile Command into a single game cartridge. The graphics and sound are enhanced from their original incarnations. This game was only released in North America and Europe. Being the final game ever released by Atari for the Atari Lynx, this game would ultimately begin an era where Atari would produce games for other console systems as opposed to their own. Super Asteroids pits the player against a never ending supply of extraterrestrial debris and enemy UFOs trained to kill any human spacecraft. He must destroy everything while snatching power-ups. Super Missile Command has the player defend various of his space colonies from incoming missiles, satellites, and enemy fighters. Intermissions allow players to buy better missiles and defense system to bolster up his defense of his space colonies.

On Atari 50 + Evercade Atari Lynx Collection — the cartridge is now a collectibleMedium counterfeit risk
Atari Lynx prices, all games & how to spot a fake

The most expensive licensed Lynx cartridge, and the clearest proof that on this platform print-run timing beats quality.

Two Atari arcade classics on one 1995 cartridge, released alongside Battlezone 2000 as the last software Atari itself put out for the Lynx. By then the platform was finished, the print run was small, and that — not the games — is why it sits at the top of the price list. The Missile Command half is the stronger of the two; the Asteroids half is a competent, faithful port that nobody was short of ways to play in 1995.

It is also one of only six Lynx titles on Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration, and it is on the Evercade Atari Lynx Collection 1 cartridge. If you want to play it rather than own it, both are a fraction of the cartridge price — which makes this a pure scarcity asset now.

Before you buy

Late-run 1995 release, so expect a curved-lip cartridge; anything else needs explaining. Complete copies carry a large premium over loose, which on this platform is where the risk sits — check box and manual print quality under magnification rather than worrying about the board.
