Warning! Hostile incoming ICBMs have been detected. Only one person stands between the cities and total nuclear destruction... the missile commander. His job is to direct a limited supply of anti-ballistic missiles at the incoming attack. It is a job that will require lightning-quick reflexes. Will the missile commander be successful? Or will the cities be annihilated? The choice is up to you.....Missile Commander XP plays similarly to the classic game Missile Command that was popular back in the 1980s. The game is updated with rendered direct3d-based graphics, but the game play is very classical in nature. ICBMs arrive from the top of the screen on incoming vectors at your six cities, which are located at the bottom of the screen. Using a cursor, you direct your limited supply of ABMs at the incoming ICBMs. Requires DirectX 9.0 or newer.
