Nuclear attack from outer space.
In Missile Command the player is trying to defend six cities from nuclear holocaust, using ground based antiballistic missile-to-missile defense. It is a very simple point and shoot game, all the missiles should be destroyed before they reach one of the cities or missile silos. It takes time for your missile to reach the desired point, so the game required a bit of insight.
The game is dark and austere, what is typical for the video-games of the 80's and most of all, Missile Command is exceptionally addictive. Originally the game was called Armageddon and it has several clones under this name.
