Was playing a bit of Stunt Car Racer for the Amiga this week, from 1989, and wondered how far back people are going!

Missile Command is a 1980 shoot 'em up arcade video game developed and published by Atari, Inc. and later licensed to Sega for Japanese and European releases.

On the actual arcade machine as well, with the huge ball "mouse".

Felt challenging, but also how it would be kinda trivial with a mouse and keyboard.
