While going to school to study, an arcade machine was first installed in a nearby bar: Space Invaders. There were 25 coins. It was an event. We made a bell in the classroom to play and kill Marta on a monochrome television screen. It was amazing.
Two years later, in 1980, they introduced a new machine to the bar: Missile Command.
Atari announced today that the classic Arcade game Missile Command will be coming to iOS and Android this spring. There will be a free version with advertising, or you can buy it to avoid ads. No more purchases within the app.
It will be a new game the company has named "modern version" of the old arcade of mobile devices, both Android and iOS. The launch of the game, called "Missile Command: Recharged" coincides with the 40th anniversary of the first game in 1980.
The new version maintains the same view of the original game, where missos fights against the entry of rockets to protect public buildings.
Missile Command: Relocation is scheduled to be launched soon, no specific date yet, for iOS, iPadOS and Android devices.
This year 2020 will be a busy year for Atari. This game is nothing compared to the introduction of the new video game console, the Atari VCS and the new line of hotels that the company is planning., beginning construction in Phoenix, Arizona.
